Dark Horse are putting out a series of prequels and sequels for Let The Right One In in connection with the US remake, claiming that they're doing it to expand the story and be more faithful to the novel. Trouble is, they're doing it very much against the expressed wishes of the author of both the novel and the original movie, who left a lot of things (especially the ending) ambiguous on purpose. He's tried suing them over it, but it turns out his lawyer waived his rights to veto anything without telling him. Here's an article, in which Allie is as honest and truthful as usual, claiming that their series will be based on things in the novel that were left out of the movie, even though the movie ends right where the novel ends. I guess he's assuming that comic fans don't read translated novels.
