I think he means even in a cameo Englund would add SO much to the movie. And I agree actually. They have to squeeze him in someplace. He IS Freddy, forever.

EXACTLY.. I mean come on.. I grew up watching Englund as Krueger, it's going to be weird seeing someone place play such an iconic role..

Well, the kid from Bad News Bears certainly grew up to be a weird ass looking guy, so sure he can play Freddy! lol

And god, did I love Englund in New Nightmare. He was soooo spooky (as both Demon Freddy and himself).

"Hey Dillion, ever play....skin the cat?" lol awesome. Then he proceeds to kill that poor babysitter chick. Awwww the kid got sad. Then ran across a freeway with one of the best scenes ever (and the most awesome music ever) for a Nightmare scene lol

Way to be an *******.

Sorry, but if he will be in this movie as a cameo then his performance doesn't matter at all.

A good script and a good director makes the movie, not so much for the actors. Countless of times we have seen mediocre actors doing timeless performances because the director's handling.

Another point: Krueger's character was a mix between makeup, special effects, lighting effects and sound editing, not so much because Englund's acting. Since Jackie Earle Haley is ten times the actor Englung never was I'm sure that if the script is decent and the special effects and make up departments are efficient this new Freddy will be just as good if not a lot better.

What other *BIG* thing did Robert Englund do? He seem to be happy to play in low-quality low-budget movies, that's all.

The only other place I remember Englung was in "V".... My god, I feel old just now....

Teaser Details!

We're reporting live from the San Diego Comic Con where Warner Bros. Pictures just showed the first ever footage from New Line Cinema and Platinum Dunes' reboot of A Nightmare on Elm Street, which now arrives in theaters April 30, 2010. We're gonna pop up the Q+A when it shows up online, but until then, read on for the footage description.

The clip opens in an exterior shot of an old abandoned factory where Freddy Krueger (as a man) is being chased by a mob to the building. Clancy Brown's character lights a bottle with fire, Freddy yells, "What do you think I did?"

He gets lit up, lights on fire, runs outside screaming.

Cut to the twins, one with a slash in her clothes.

Shot of Freddy's hat.

Back to twins jump roping.

Close-up of Freddy's glove scratching steel.

Freddy's hat agan on a box, silence, Freddy's eyes appear behind them.

They show the girl in a blood body bag in the school.

Close-up of scratchhhhhhh, sparks.

Rooney Mara (Nancy) is in the boiler room. It's dark Freddy is there, walking towards her.

Flashes begin, we see all sorts of imagery ranging from Tina floating to the ceiling, slashes and then LOGO. Bam.

"Ready or not, here I come." - Jackie Earle Hely as your new Freddy Krueger.

Scrrrrratttcchhhhh....

[bloody disgusting]

That sounds amazing!

The few things I was hoping they kept from the original are Tina's death and Glen's death. Hopefully they'll be based on how they looked in the original before they got cut to shreds.

For anyone who doesn't know, Tina's death was originally A LOT more bloody and Glen came OUT of the bed after the blood shot up through it. You can find a small snippet of Glen coming out of the bed on YouTube I think and I don't think Wes Craven was able to shoot Tina's death they way he original thought of it. He described it as a large bubble of blood forming between Tina and the bed as she's on the ceiling and that's what she fell into as she drops from the ceiling. The MPAA whined about the amount of blood and this is why there's such a quick cut from her falling onto the bed and the shot of Rod getting blood splattered on his face.

The only part that got on my nerves about Tina's death is when Freddy first cuts her stomach and she reaches for it, you can see the stomach appliance :laugh: . That and when Freddy jumps out from behind the tree and his glove is on his left hand. Still surprised how many people never notice that :laugh:

Here are some other details that were revealed about the film during the panel:

>Despite the glimpse of how Freddy got his scars in the footage we were shown, the makers of the film emphasized, “This certainly isn’t an origin story. We’re creating our own mythology based on Wes Craven’s story. There’s a little bit of it, but I wouldn’t say we’re bogged down in it.”

>Robert Englund is NOT going to make a cameo in this film, although he does support it.

>One member from the audience remarked that there is a great deal of nudity and weed in these producers’ movies, and asked how much to expect in this film. The response? “This movie has the smallest amount of weed of all of our movies, but there is a little bit of it in there. We try to take a look at what’s important to our story, and we try to maintain a few of those elements, like weed”

>There was a sequence in the footage we were shown that looked like the bedroom scene in the original Nightmare on Elm Street. Despite some similarities, this will not be a remake. According to one of the producers, “I think [Director Samuel Bayer] wanted to tell a different story. Things will be familiar, but I don’t think people will feel like it’s the same story at all.”

>Andrew Clement designed the new Freddy. According to Jackie Earle Haley, “I always felt like if I tried to go out in the world wearing the make-up [without the costume]…I think people would have thought it was real. I think it’s scarier, I think it’s more disconcerting and alarming.”

    • Ocenaudio 3.19.4

      By Copernic · Posted

      Ocenaudio 3.19.4 by Razvan Serea  Ocenaudio is a full featured, fast and easy to use audio and music editor. It is the ideal software for people who need to edit and analyze audio files without complications. Ocenaudio also has powerful features that will please more advanced users. To assist ocenaudio development, a powerful toolset of audio editing, analysis and manipulation called Ocen Framework was created. ocenaudio is also based on Qt framework, a well known library for cross-platform development. Cross-platform support ocenaudio is available for all major operating systems: Microsoft Windows, Mac OS X and Linux. Native applications are generated for each platform from a common source, in order to achieve excelent performance and seamless integration with the operating system. All versions of ocenaudio have a uniform set of features and the same graphical interface, so the skills you learn in one platform can be used in the others. VST plugins support Ocenaudio supports VST (Virtual Studio Technology) plugins, giving its users access to numerous effects. Like the native effects, VST effects can use real-time preview to aide configuration. Real-time preview of effects Applying effects such as EQ, gain and filtering is an important part of audio editing. However, it is very tricky to get the desired result by adjusting the controls configuration alone: you must listen the processed audio. To ease the configuration of audio effects, ocenaudio has a real time preview feature: you hear the processed signal while adjusting the controls. The effect configuration window also includes a miniature view of the selected audio signal. You can navigate on this miniature view in the same way as you do on the main interface, selecting parts that interest you and listening to the effect result in real time. Multiselection for delicate editions To speed up complex audio files editing, ocenaudio includes multi-selection. With this amazing tool, you can simultaneously select different portions of an audio file and listen, edit or even apply an effect to them. For example, if you want to normalize only the excerpts of an interview where the interviewee is talking, just select them and apply the effect. Eficient edition of large files With ocenaudio, there is no limit to the length or the quantity of the audio files you can edit. Using an advanced memory management system, the application keeps your files open without wasting any of your computer's memory. Even in files several hours long, common editing operations such as copy, cut or paste happen almost instantly. Fully featured spectrogram Besides offering an incredible waveform view of your audio files, ocenaudio has a powerful and complete spectrogram view. In this view, you can analyze the spectral content of your audio signal with maximum clarity. Advanced users will be surprised to find that the spectrogram settings are applied in real time. The display is updated immediately when altering features such as the number of frequency bands, window type and size and dynamic range of the display. Ocenaudio 3.19.4 changelog: Adds fallback fonts so every language and symbol displays correctly Improves autosave and session recovery stability Improves region navigation and display Fixes a crash when the level meter is used on displays with a scaling greater than 200% Fixes memory corruption when using the silence selection tools Fixes crashes when closing a file while effects are still being processed Fixes a freeze when applying effects to many files at once (macOS) Fixes crashes related to audio devices on Windows Fixes invalid file names when exporting regions whose label is used as the file name Other bug fixes and improvements Download: Ocenaudio 64-bit | Portable | ~40.0 MB (Freeware) Download: Ocenaudio for Linux and Mac OS View: Ocenaudio Homepage | Screenshot Get alerted to all of our Software updates on Twitter at @NeowinSoftware

    • Waymo recalls self-driving software after cars enter closed freeway work zones

      By ExecutiveFunction404 · Posted

      This got me thinking, would you rather a self driving car prioritise protecting its passengers or everyone else? I'd choose the one that keeps me and my kids safest. At some point, these cars have to make those choices already, don't they? Wonder if we have a way to find out what way they lean.

      The proportion (or number of iterations) has nothing to with this aspect of Copyright I am describing. In short, it doesn't matter how many times the manager tells you to change something or how. Your work product is always YOURS until and unless you then assign that to the person representing the client/company, usually for financial compensation -- either in salary or as a subcontract work for hire payment. if iterations determined copyright, then businesses would have learned to just keep making changes until they could claim they owned the copyright, without having to compensate the artist for their work. And that would be BAD. The only place where the amount of changes does have a role is in how much does a human modify a previous public domain work (from any source) before it is considered fair use or their own work, etc. For example, if a human makes substantial changes to a public domain (re: AI, by definition) work, then they can then claim that derivative work as their own...but NEVER the original version, of course. That's why anyone can make a movie about Dracula, for example, as long as it is based on the public domain novel, but not if they take new ideas from copyrighted movies made afterwards. As one of the people who personally advised the US Copyright Office on their recent ruling on these very issues, be assured that I specifically used the terminology precisely -- though I made it simple enough for laymen to understand it. If I made this confusing by doing so, I apologize. But, to be clear regarding your assumption that I would agree to your second statement that I quoted above -- the answer is NO. If AI does the work, no matter how much "direction" you give it, it cannot be copyrighted. All AI generated content is in the Public Domain and therefore the copyright cannot be assigned to ANYONE, even you -- until and unless substantial modifications are made to it BY A HUMAN BEING (yourself or a contracted artist/writer/etc.) and then that copyright on the derivative work is legally (in writing) transferred to you. This is a critical distinction. And it is important that people, especially AI sloppers, understand this. For example, YouTube is not paying AI slop generators for the copyright, etc. of their AI slop. What YouTube is doing is sharing AD REVENUE for permission to publish your AI slop. Copyright/ownership/rights never come into it. Importantly, that means that anyone can copy any AI slopware on YouTube, etc. and rehost it anywhere they want, even back on YouTube, and there is nothing legal that YouTube can do about it with regards to copyright protections, ownership, DMCA, etc. Anyone is legally free to use any AI slopware in any way they want. When this ruling was pending, I warned Disney legal of all of this before they did their OpenAI deal -- that it would literally dilute their entire IP portfolio forever. They ignored that warning for the PR and stock bump. But that is why, when the ruling came down last year, Disney quickly extricated themselves from that OpenAI deal, even eating the initial upfront fees -- followed closely by OpenAI ending their entire AI video generating business model. They adjusted their PR release dates to make this less obvious to shareholders, of course. Phew. I hope that this clears up the key distinctions for you and anyone reading. If you have any additional questions or even hypotheticals about AI and Copyright, please feel free to ask.
