The coming-of-age horror tale revolves around the relationship between a preteen boy and a girl who just moved to the neighborhood and happens to be a vampire. Smit-McPhee and Moretz play the kids, while Jenkins is the girl's vampire-hunting guardian.
Production begins this fall in New Mexico with Matt Reeves ("Cloverfield") helming.
Hammer Films acquired the remake rights at last year's Tribeca Film Festival, where "Let the Right One In" took the narrative feature nod, and the remake was fast-tracked after the original built buzz among critics and specialty filmgoers.
Jenkins has a handful of upcoming projects including "Eat, Pray, Love," with Julia Roberts. Smit-McPhee can be seen next in "The Road," with Viggo Mortensen, while Moretz was last seen in "(500) Days of Summer."
