SANTA FE (KRQE) - A film described as a contemporary vampire tale is expected to shoot in New Mexico this winter, according to Gov. Bill Richardson's office.

"Let Me In," starring Kodi Smit-McPhee, Chloe Moretz and Richard Jenkins will star in the film, which was directed and written for the screen by Matt Reeves.

The film is a remake of the 2008 Swedish film "Låt den rätte komma in." Both are based on a Swedish novel, also called "Låt den rätte komma in," about a young boy who befriends a new girl to his neighborhood.

It's expected to shoot at Albuquerque Studios, as well as on location in Albuquerque, Los Alamos and Red River from November through January.

Richardson said the production should hire about 620 New Mexicans — 120 as crew and 500 as extras and other cast members.
