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*

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!!!

    • Google Gemini co-lead Noam Shazeer is leaving for OpenAI

      By pradeepviswav · Posted

      Google Gemini co-lead Noam Shazeer is leaving for OpenAI by Pradeep Viswanathan Noam Shazeer is best known as one of the co-authors of the 2017 “Attention Is All You Need” paper, which introduced the Transformer architecture that now powers most large language models. He also worked on several major Google AI projects, including LaMDA, before leaving the company in 2021 to co-found Character.AI. He also authored the Sparsely-gated Mixture of Experts (2016) paper, which is popular among the AI community. After falling behind OpenAI and Anthropic a couple of years ago, Google brought Shazeer back in 2024 as part of a major deal with Character.AI. Through this deal, along with Noam, several other researchers returned to Google DeepMind. More recently, he was a vice president of engineering at Google and a technical co-lead for Gemini. Today, Noam Shazeer announced on X that he is leaving Google and joining OpenAI. In his post, Shazeer said it was a difficult decision to move on, adding that he was proud of the Google team and what it had built together. OpenAI CEO Sam Altman welcomed the move with a post of his own, saying Shazeer was one of the people he had most wanted to work with since OpenAI’s early days. Google has made strong progress with Gemini over the past year, closing the gap with OpenAI in several areas. But losing Noam Shazeer is a major talent setback for them, especially after bringing him back less than two years ago by spending a fortune. For OpenAI, the hire adds one of the industry’s most experienced language model researchers to a team that is already pushing ahead with ChatGPT, Codex, and its next generation of frontier models.
