Movie Trailer: A Nightmare On Elm Street

Yes! This is a great start. I am more than interested in seeing this now. That last shot is a little iffy for me but I don't think that is his real look.

There is some terrific imagery in this teaser.

Great stuff.

Movie Poster: A Nightmare On Elm Street

Yesterday, we brought you the new logo and first shot of Freddy Krueger for the upcoming Platinum Dunes remake of A Nightmare On Elm Street. Now, we have the teaser poster. I'm not exactly positive if this is an official poster or just a comic-con teaser but it's pretty damn cool regardless.

I'm regretting canceling this years con trip more and more.

Check out the bigger version at the Source.

This is the first look at Jackie Earle Haley as Freddy Krueger and I have to say from this one shot my excitement for this movie has skyrocketed.

So far so good.

And Freddy Krueger REALLY is...

Jackie Earle Haley!

The Oscar nominated (Little Children) actor has officially signed the dotted line to play the iconic Freddy Krueger in Platinum Dunes upcoming remake of Nightmare On Elm Street. This is the guy that the fans (and a few websites) wanted so it's the first step in the right direction for this project. We'll see how it turns out next April.

And the new Freddy Krueger is...

Word is out that Platinum Dunes has found the new Freddy Krueger for their upcoming remake of A Nightmare On Elm Street. Krueger will be played by none other than improv impresario and Whose Line Is It Anyway star, Ryan Stiles.

Stiles comments, "This is a dream come true. My years doing stand up and Improvisation comedy have prepared me for the role of a life time: A psychopathic child killer who is burnt alive and kills teenagers in their sleep. Today, I am a proud man."

Freddy may have his Nancy! (UPDATED)

It appears that Lindsay Lohan may have been cast in a lead role in the upcoming remake of A Nightmare on Elm Street. Reports are even indicating that the producers have confirmed this. I can't say for sure if this is accurate or not. We haven't even heard what role she has been cast in just that it is a lead role. So is she Nancy? Assuming there is even a Nancy character in the remake.

I like Lindsay Lohan so I'm not entirely against this casting. We'll see what happens.

UPDATE: FALSE!! Lindsay Lohan has currently NOT been cast in the film.

Nightmare Redux

Well, it's official. Platinum Dunes producers Michael Bay, Brad Fuller and Andrew Form are going to be involved in the reboot of the Nightmare On Elm Street franchise.

"It's our next movie," confirmed Form, "hopefully shooting this spring."


Brad Fuller states: "It's like what we're doing to Friday the 13th," He goes on to say, "It's not Freddy cracking jokes. We want to make a horrifying movie. The concept is so scary, don't fall asleep or you'll die. This guy gets you when you're most vulnerable, in your sleep. We love that. That's the basis of the movie. It'll be most similar to the first one but in terms of kills and dreams we'll borrow from the entire series."

They also mentioned they want someone new to play Freddy Krueger but want Robert Englund to have some sort of part in the film.

Sigh.

I mean honestly, if a remake had to be done, Platinum Dunes are the folks to do it. Still...I'm nervous about this...really nervous.
