God everytime I see him without makeup in any way, I just think of that kid from Bad News Bears lol (someone yelled that at him there and he was like yeah!)

Someone should have asked if he'd be willing to do a new Bad News Bears movie as the coach or something heh (I think that would rock btw, he's perfect for it now)

Enjoy all the news while you can because A Nightmare on Elm Street is going away for a bit. Thanks to the San Diego Comic Con Warner Bros. was forced to tease Freddy Krueger in the first image and share with the world a teaser poster, but what about the Comic Con trailer? Platinum Dunes Producer Brad Fuller has updated his official blog with sad news that we won't be seeing the trailer online and that it's going to be a bit before the real hype begins. Enjoy what you got and put it behind ya'. In other news, that image of Freddy floating around the web with boils is a fake Photoshop job, so spread the good word. We'll be movin' into Elm Street on April 30th, 2010.

i dont know. certain movies should be left alone.

Is robert in this? sorry i havent seen any trailers or info on it yet.

Robert Englund was the one to make the Freddy villain the horror icon that he is today. without him, the movie just loses its magic, and imo, interest.

its easier for michael myers and jason remakes, those guys hide behind a mask.

Edit: ok, no Englund. Just took a peek at the trailer as well. Wasn't impressed. The original looked better. (im too ol'skool i guess :p)

Enough remakes/reboots/re's alltogether.

Looks good, perhaps it might do it some justice, but i still think hollywood needs to stop with all these remakes....

Hollywood has lost touch with creativity and originality a long while ago. But it's also for a new generation, I was a teen when I first saw Nightmare, now I'm 35, what I consider a "classic" is considered "old" for younger viewers. So they make a fresh one out of it, and with all sense of morale going down each year, they are allowed to make each remake even more gorier with more nudity and increased violence.

Hey, the remake will look better in HD on Blu-Ray than the original... It's progress in some way...

Ohh yes, their will be blood.....

I love the casting choice, love the children/Freddy song they use, and definitely like the dark look of the film. What i really do not like is the way Freddy looks. The makeup looks horrible. It is completely missing that menacing look that was brought to Robert Englund. I also really hope they don't try to write Freddy as someone who was innocent of killing children (keep in mind Wes Craven originally wrote him as a molester, and had to change him to a child murderer because of real world issues at the time) I think doing so would completely betray how evil the character is supposed to be.

One thing I am happy about: That Rob Zombie is in no way, shape or form involved with this movie. That alone deserves celebration.

OK, that trailer sent chills down my spine. I love the fact they are using the original song, and many of the original story points. Not so hot about Freddy's voice, but I guess it's because it isn't Robert E. I have to get used to him now. Either way, it looks awesome! Way better than any horror remake lately for sure, and depending on how it turns out, could be one of the better remakes we've seen yet.

April 2010 can't come soon enough now.

If it doesn't have England in it, this movie will suck truckloads of balls.

Englund.

Sorry :p

And I have to say ... I think it will be a good movie in the same way that Friday was ... I don't expect it to dethrone Nightmare On Elm Street (80's), but I do think it has a chance to be better than any of the sequels. In my opinion, Nightmare 1, 3, 4 were badass ... 1 being top ... 3 and 4 being on a different league but still cool ... the rest ... I love Freddy and the whole Nightmare on Elm Street series but I do have to admit, it did go downhill. This new remake could be kick ass in some ways.

Let's give it a chance ... I grew up obsessed by Freddy and even had posters on my wall of him when I was a kid ... so I should wanna hate this remake ... but I'm willing to think of it as a different movie.

Btw ... the new Tina replacement is HOT!

:D

I still say Wes Craven's New Nightmare was the best NMoES movie. Amazingly deep movie for a "horror sequel". Heh.

I can see this being a big disappointment.

Don't understand why they didn't go with Rober Englund again.

He ain't that old.

Because they need him for Freddy vs. Jason 2 whenever they make it.

    • EA Sports UFC 6 review: Brutal, satisfying, and surprisingly accessible to newcomers

      By Steven P. · Posted

      EA reached out to our reporter that mainly does gaming content and reviewed loads of other games, why would this be shocking to anyone? I admit maybe we were considered this time around because of the extra coverage UFC was getting and they wanted a broader audience for this release? IDK. I can tell you that we aren't paid to do the reviews, the fun part of it is (mostly) being able to keep what we review and giving an honest opinion on what we're reviewing.
