ALBUQUERQUE (AP) - Gov. Bill Richardson says a movie called "Let Me In" will be filmed at Albuquerque Studios and in Los Alamos and Red River.

The movie, a contemporary vampire tale based on a Swedish novel, will be directed by Matt Reeves, who also wrote the screenplay.

Richardson says the movie will be filmed in the state from November through January.

The production is expected to hire about 620 crew members and cast members.

The movie stars Kodi Smit-McPhee and Chloe Moretz in the two leading child roles. Oscar nominee Richard Jenkins will play the lead adult character.
