I'm still really hoping for the best on this one.

I don't think anyone is arguing the phenominal credit Robert Englund deserves for his portrayal of the character.

But at the same time, until I watched the new Batman movie... I would have argued Jack Nickolson was THE Joker.

As far as the current spew of remakes goes, this is looking like one i will actually watch.

I was hoping for a more 'back story' approach, but judging by the trailer and the nods toward classic scenes, seems we wont be getting it.

I think it's a brilliant choice of actor to play Freddy, yes i'm with most people on the whole "Robert Englund IS Freddy' but he himself said he is through playing Freddy and with the correct casting (which seems to have happened) there is no reason why the character can't be as strong.

I do hope they keep all the smart arse quips and comments that made Freddy scary in the first place, nothing scarier than knowing your friendly local serial killer is also intelligent :o

I'll be keeping a close eye on this, i still remember when i saw the first one *shudder*

Actually, just the girls! :p

Man, look at ALL these young stars in this movie - This Kyle Gallner is in all these movies :) Come back to this Awesome season of Smallville, Speedy Punk! j/k (Inside joke about his role in Jennifer's Body) :laugh:

Seriously, this remake may not get good critical reviews, but I love who they have casted to be in this and hopefully these actors make it GOOD enough!!!

One other note, the composer for the music of this movie is the SAME dude who did the music for Transformers/Friday The 13th - I WANT to hear the music now.

I LIKE him!!!

    • Surprise! We still can't get it right. With the current state of AI, the crappy software, the huge mega-corporations that back all of these idiot things, I think we are a very long way away from SAE Level 5. I, for one, will never get in one.
    • Nice. September/October GA?! I'll keep following it, but won't install any preview or beta versions.
    • Wow, that could have been dangerous, certainly not ready for these things. They have to be 100% or pretty well close to it. Not that I will see one i doubt, never mind ride in one, they may have them in London, but I doubt they will come to where I live.
    • Nothing kills CMF Phone 2 Pro's successor due to rising memory prices by Hamid Ganji Storage and RAM prices have been rising over the past year, leading to a significant increase in the cost of electronics for customers around the world. Many companies are now revising their plans for upcoming devices due to higher component costs and overall production expenses. CMF is the latest company to cancel the successor to one of its best-selling phones due to rising memory prices. CMF is a sub-brand of Nothing and focuses on making budget smartphones for growing markets. The brand launched the CMF Phone 2 Pro last year with some eye-catching specifications and an affordable price. While many customers may have been waiting for a successor this year, one of the company’s executives has announced that CMF will not release a new smartphone this year. And AI is to blame. As Nothing co-founder Akis Evangelidis announced on X, the company has been working on a successor to the CMF Phone 2 Pro, but with current memory prices, it cannot “build a phone that feels like a genuine step forward at a price that makes sense for CMF.” So, no new CMF phone will be launched this year. Meanwhile, Evangelidis said the company still has several new products in the pipeline, including some in entirely new categories. He added that the Nothing brand will also continue launching new products through 2026. Budget smartphones are among the first victims of the surge in RAM and memory prices, as they have become more expensive to build. The sharp increase in memory costs could also reshape the traditional price ranges associated with budget phones. Apple CEO Tim Cook also recently said that price increases for some of the company’s products are unavoidable because RAM and memory have become significantly more expensive this year. Analysts estimate that the base price of the upcoming iPhone 18 Pro could rise to $1,399 due to current market shortages.
    • Nudge me when they bring back hardware audio acceleration so I can get my EAX 5 back. We've evolved graphics to real-time path tracing, but regressed audio some 15 years back in time with this stupid software audio stack.
