Let the Remake In?

I was late in discovering the terrific Swedish vampire film Let the Right One In.  (Read my review here.)  But that doesn’t stop me from being dubious at the prospect of the upcoming Hollywood remake.  I just don’t understand the point of a remake of this film.  The original is so good, and so recent, that I just can’t fathom any reason to create a different version.  Yes, some talented filmmakers are involved, but still.

Anyways, a trailer has recently appeared.

It’s a pretty slick trailer, no argument.  And it impressively captures the look and feel of the original.  But, again, why watch a remake when the original film is so easily accessible?

Am I wrong?  Does this new trailer change anyone’s mind?
