Vampire drama 'Let The Right One In' finds its female lead
The TNT pilot of vampire drama "Let the Right One In" has cast Kristine Froseth as its female lead reports Deadline.
Originally a best-selling novel by Swedish author John Ajvide Lindqvist, the series will tell the story of Henry, a lonely young boy who finds solace with charismatic vampire Eli, to be played by Froseth.
Also lonely and friendless, Eli arrives in an apartment building in Vermont, and the pair soon begin a strange friendship, with Henry unaware of exactly who or what he is dealing with.
Lindqvist's debut novel was an instant bestseller in Sweden, and was adapted into the film of the same name in 2008. Lindqvist also wrote the screenplay for the Swedish movie, which won a host of international awards and featured Lina Leandersson as Eli. In a 2010 American film adaptation of the book, Chloe Grace Moretz played the lead female role.
Froseth recently finished filing Zoe Cassavetes' upcoming web series "Junior" and can next be seen in Danny Strong's "Rebel in the Rye," which follows the life of author J.D. Salinger and also stars Nicholas Hoult and Kevin Spacey.
