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.

    • Microsoft Paint used to be my favorite Windows app as a kid, and it's still pretty good

      What I like about Paint is using it almost exclusively for cropping and resizing images I get elsewhere--it's quick, easy and cheap... I keep it glued to my taskbar, in fact.

      I still remember it fondly today. It was so cool to work in 64-color Half Bright mode and 4.096-color HAM mode (interlaced) when x86 was still in 4-color CGA or 16-color EGA low res. C= never realized what it had until it was far too late--the failure of C= was the failure of its top management. The C= Amiga was 20 years ahead of its time, I always thought. It didn't hurt that in only 512k of chip memory, the Amiga could preemptively multitask when Apple was still doing gray scale graphics on tiny screens and along with everyone else was doing cooperative multitasking (running more than one app at a time in resident memory, but you could only run one of them at a time--had to manually switch between them.) I had a ball with AREXX scripting running between programs that had AREXX ports so that when you sent other applications data and instructions, those running applications could process the same in real time to output!

      I'm not sure about that, but it at least "does" a version of 7.1 that this brand new card doesn't....

    • Microsoft confirms Windows 11 26H2 to finally get one of the most requested features

      By WaltC · Posted

      I can barely recall getting web results from a file search... I must've turned it off long ago. 26H2 is Insider's Preview build 26300.8697, which I am running, atm. It is not available for people running the standard commercial builds of Windows--only for the beta test Insider's group. But anyway, as mentioned in the thread, this feature has been around for a long time...
