Poor Robert Englund, he was stuck in that role forever. What else of importance did he do? Bit parts in some cheap horror movies.... Played in TV series "V"...

Yeah I think he was in this b movie horror called hatchet.

I'm amazed to see all the comments on movie forums about Bayer not being a good choice because he's a 90's music video director. Well, last time I checked, that's how David Fincher and a few other good directors started out. I have no problem giving him a chance. (Y)

Fincher, Michel Gondry, Spinke Jonze, Cunningham, Jarsmuch.

You know, only most of the best directors today started as music video directors.

So, in nutshell, I agree.

Some script ideas!

Platinum Dunes' recent reboot of the Friday the 13th franchise wasn't a completely horrible trip back to one of the genre's classic scares. But what's in store for the studio's similar attempt at a modern A Nightmare on Elm Street? Well, Latino Review has a wonderful wrap-up of El Mayimbe's recent look at the script-in-progress (authored by Wesley Strick of Cape Fear, and, um, Doom), which appears to suggest a similar glossy, blockbuster makeover as with Friday the 13th. It sounds like a decent enough approach, but I'd obviously prefer something a bit more humble and disturbing than this. Read on for the early plot details.

The plot, as it stands now, is tweaked a bit from the original 1984 film, but in a surprisingly noble way. Instead of being a child murdered, Freddy is actually portrayed as a child molester, which was the direction Wes Craven originally intended for the villain. Platinum Dunes scores some early points for this Craven nod. However, they may just lose any good favor if one of El Mayimbe's assertions proves to be true - that the new version is devoid of Freddy's creepy whit and, in fact, that he has few lines overall. I'm personally really going to miss that. There's also word that it's not going to have even a hint of comedy.

Apparently the film will spend a significant amount of time on Freddy Krueger's back story. Latino Review describes this element as "one of the script's strongest points." And as for the chance that Robert Englund might have a role in the new film, it's speculated that he could portray the minor role of therapist Dr. James Brit. Head on over to Latino Review for the full run-down and be sure to let us know what you think!

This movie is going to be a huge failure.

No Robert Englund as Freddie? Why even bother then?

I agree, Robert England, and the Freddy character made this series. To take his whitty one liners away is a HUGE mistake, you might as well give him a stub instead of the glove knife finger thing. This is going to suck big time!

Screw this type of Horror movies! I am sorta SICK of them!

If they are good like Batman: The Dark Knight then it's good, but how do we know, right?

Make the Hit game Diablo a Movie, or more Silent Hill, Fallout VIDEO GAME movies instead!

You know I am talking about the level of QUALITY!

Oh right yeah sorry I thought you were comparing horrors there :p

You are never going to find a really well thought out horror except for maybe the first couple of Saw's.

All these video games I talked about are really really Well-thought out, Unfortunately Hollywood there are so ignorant or hate Video games based movies or something!!!

EVERY damn video game movie turns out much worse than VG itself, Why Hollywood?

And, there we go with more Rehash of something already great... I hope they have at least Hot chicks in it!!!

Back in February the boys over at Latino Review had broke the news first that Jackie Earle Haley was in fact locked down as your new Freddy Krueger. While at the time they were wrong in the fact that it was a done deal, this afternoon Bloody-Disgusting learned exclusively that Haley is now in final talks to pull over that grimy red and green sweater, strap on the infamous razor glove and tip his fedora as the brand-spanking-new Freddy Krueger! Expect an official announcement as early as next week. Shooting begins under the watch of Samuel Bayer at the end of the month in Chicago on A Nightmare on Elm Street, New Line Cinema's reboot of the infamous franchise created by Wes Craven that followed Krueger, a serial child killer murdered by angry parents, who returns with a burnt face and a razor glove to terrorize teens in their dreams. Don't fall asleep on April 16, 2010.

decent casting of freddy but i think this movie will tank, no one can replace robert england. i think 2007-2010 will go down in history as the years of the remakes when hollywood ran out of original ideas.

      Maybe it's just my old-school soul talking, but I’ve always felt that games aren't 'real' games until they hit the PC. Leaving the PC community out at launch just doesn't sit right with me. That being said, I'm probably going to buy the PS5 just for the fun of trying it out.

    • Rockstar confirms Grand Theft Auto VI pre-orders begin next week, unveils cover art

      Rockstar confirms Grand Theft Auto VI pre-orders begin next week, unveils cover art by Pulasthi Ariyasinghe The release date of Grand Theft Auto VI has moved quite a lot since its original announcement in 2023, but it finally looks like the game has found its final launch slot. Rockstar today had a new video upload on its YouTube channel, and while it wasn't a new trailer for the game, the company revealed two things. This was the pre-order kickoff date for Grand Theft Auto VI as well as the game's official cover art. The company revealed that June 25 is when fans of the series will be able to pre-order their copy of Grand Theft Auto VI. Pre-orders will be available both digitally and in retail stores. The newly unveiled cover art shows off the two new protagonists, as well as a few more characters that are probably vital to the campaign storyline. Shots of vehicles players can use like a light helicopter, motorcycle, sports car, and speed boat are also seen here, alongside a shot of a crocodile. "Jason and Lucia have always known the deck is stacked against them," says Rockstar describing the campaign's protagonist duo. "But when an easy score goes wrong, they find themselves on the darkest side of the sunniest place in America, in the middle of a conspiracy stretching across the state of Leonida — forced to rely on each other more than ever if they want to make it out alive." Grand Theft Auto VI is coming to Xbox Series X|S and PlayStation 5 on November 19, 2026. A PC version has not been confirmed yet, though it's expected by many to land after the console release. When asked about this, the Take-Two CEO says it considers the core audience for the Grand Theft Auto franchise to be on consoles.
