TNT Pilots Let the Right One In

ATLANTA: TNT has ordered a pilot for Let the Right One In, based on the best-selling novel by Swedish author John Ajvide Lindqvist.

The pilot is being produced by Tomorrow Studios in association with Turner’s Studio T. Lindqvist’s debut novel, about a young boy who finds solace in a friendship with a charismatic female vampire, was adapted into a screenplay for the acclaimed 2008 Swedish film of the same name. TNT’s pilot will draw from the original source material.

Jeff Davis (Criminal Minds, Teen Wolf) wrote the script for the pilot and serves as executive producer with Marty Adelstein (Aquarius, Prison Break, Teen Wolf) and Becky Clements (Aquarius, Last Man Standing) of Tomorrow Studios and Simon Oakes (Women in Black, Let Me In) of Hammer Films. Carl Molinder, who produced the original screenplay, and Alex Brunner (Dark Places) also serve as executive producers.

“Let the Right One In combines elements of horror, revenge thriller and adolescent romance into an unforgettable and truly unsettling tale,” said Sarah Aubrey, the executive VP of original programming for TNT. “This novel is a watershed of rich storytelling, making it an abundant source from which Jeff, Marty, Becky and Simon will bring to life in this all-new adaptation.”

“TNT has amassed an incredible slate of programming and we are thrilled to extend our relationship with them,” added Adelstein, CEO of Tomorrow Studios. “Their collaboration and shared enthusiasm for bringing Let the Right One In to the U.S. TV audience is incredibly exciting to all of us.”
