Overture Films is pleased to announce the release date of Let Me In as October 1st, 2010. Currently shooting in New Mexico, the film directed by Matt Reeves (Cloverfield) stars Kodi Smit-McPhee (The Road), Chloe Moretz (Kick-Ass) and Oscar-nominee Richard Jenkins (The Visitor, Cabin the the Woods). In addition to the release date, Bloody Disgusting has your first look at the official synopsis for the remake/adaptation of the novella.
“An alienated 12-year-old boy befriends a mysterious young newcomer in his small New Mexico town, and discovers an unconventional path to adulthood in Let Me In, a haunting and provocative thriller written and directed by filmmaker Matt Reeves (Cloverfield).
Twelve-year old Owen (Kodi Smit-McPhee) is viciously bullied by his classmates and neglected by his divorcing parents. Achingly lonely, Owen spends his days plotting revenge on his middle school tormentors and his evenings spying on the other inhabitants of his apartment complex. His only friend is his new neighbor Abby (Chloe Moretz), an eerily self-possessed young girl who lives next door with her silent father (Oscar

‘Backrooms’ – Behind the Scenes Photos Reveal the ‘Alien Romulus’ Actor Who Played Pirate Clark
Dubbed “Pirate Clark,” the monstrous threat in Kane Parsons’ Backrooms is sure to be one of the most memorable new movie monsters on screen this year, perhaps only behind Freaky Nikki from Obsession. But was that a computer generated creation? An animatronic?
Nope. Pirate Clark, which is of course the monstrous Backrooms-generated “Still Life” version of Chiwetel Ejiofor’s character Clark, was played by a real actor in Backrooms!
It was former basketball player Robert Bobroczkyi who played the impossibly tall Pirate Clark in Backrooms, and the effect was pulled off with little more than a costume and a mask.
As Luiz H.C. noted in an article here on Bloody Disgusting last month, “Though there was some obvious CGI involved in making the character’s peg-leg and nightmarish face more believable, Robert Bobroczkyi’s monstrous performance and his natural frame helped to make that final chase sequence a clear highlight among this year’s genre offerings.”
The Romanian–Hungarian actor stands a towering 7-foot, 7″ tall, and if Pirate Clark reminded you of the Offspring from Alien Romulus, that’s because Bobroczkyi played both roles!
At this time, Alien Romulus and Backrooms are the only two movies on Bobroczkyi’s resume, but like Javier Botet before him, we can be pretty sure he’ll be playing unique horror movie characters for many years to come. You just never know where he might pop up next…
Backrooms is now available on a Digital with the Blu-ray up for pre-order now.
