Great....as if remakes weren't the norm nowadays, and now this classic is going to get a makeover......and not the good kind either.  This new version of has already some names for the cast.  Dreamworks has released the name of who will play Charlie Brewster, and that would be Anton Yelchin (Chekov from Star Trek), Toni Collete as Charlie's mom, and Colin Farrell as Jerry Dandrige...the suave vampire, originally played by Chris Sarandon.  Toni Collete, is the only name that will make this remake some justice....but Anton doesn't fit the bill, and especially Colin Ferrell.  Please, suave?  COlin is about as soft as sand paper toilet paper, plus he doesn't fit the role......when Chris originally played it, back in 1985, that was a good role, he was tall, dark and charming, while Farrell is neither one of those things.  This is one way for Farrell getting back in Hollywood, since his acting is about as stale as 1 week old bread.  Perhaps if he would upkeep himself, he would be a good choice, meaning shaving, trimming the damn eyebrows he would be a good Dandrige, but so far, he keeps himself looking like a bum, at least Chris Sarandon was great in the original.
