"Nightmare on Elm Street" Remake


Recommended Posts

Poor Robert Englund, he was stuck in that role forever. What else of importance did he do? Bit parts in some cheap horror movies.... Played in TV series "V"...

Yeah I think he was in this b movie horror called hatchet.

I'm amazed to see all the comments on movie forums about Bayer not being a good choice because he's a 90's music video director. Well, last time I checked, that's how David Fincher and a few other good directors started out. I have no problem giving him a chance. (Y)

Fincher, Michel Gondry, Spinke Jonze, Cunningham, Jarsmuch.

You know, only most of the best directors today started as music video directors.

So, in nutshell, I agree.

Some script ideas!

Platinum Dunes' recent reboot of the Friday the 13th franchise wasn't a completely horrible trip back to one of the genre's classic scares. But what's in store for the studio's similar attempt at a modern A Nightmare on Elm Street? Well, Latino Review has a wonderful wrap-up of El Mayimbe's recent look at the script-in-progress (authored by Wesley Strick of Cape Fear, and, um, Doom), which appears to suggest a similar glossy, blockbuster makeover as with Friday the 13th. It sounds like a decent enough approach, but I'd obviously prefer something a bit more humble and disturbing than this. Read on for the early plot details.

The plot, as it stands now, is tweaked a bit from the original 1984 film, but in a surprisingly noble way. Instead of being a child murdered, Freddy is actually portrayed as a child molester, which was the direction Wes Craven originally intended for the villain. Platinum Dunes scores some early points for this Craven nod. However, they may just lose any good favor if one of El Mayimbe's assertions proves to be true - that the new version is devoid of Freddy's creepy whit and, in fact, that he has few lines overall. I'm personally really going to miss that. There's also word that it's not going to have even a hint of comedy.

Apparently the film will spend a significant amount of time on Freddy Krueger's back story. Latino Review describes this element as "one of the script's strongest points." And as for the chance that Robert Englund might have a role in the new film, it's speculated that he could portray the minor role of therapist Dr. James Brit. Head on over to Latino Review for the full run-down and be sure to let us know what you think!

This movie is going to be a huge failure.

No Robert Englund as Freddie? Why even bother then?

I agree, Robert England, and the Freddy character made this series. To take his whitty one liners away is a HUGE mistake, you might as well give him a stub instead of the glove knife finger thing. This is going to suck big time!

Screw this type of Horror movies! I am sorta SICK of them!

If they are good like Batman: The Dark Knight then it's good, but how do we know, right?

Make the Hit game Diablo a Movie, or more Silent Hill, Fallout VIDEO GAME movies instead!

Was Dark Knight a Horror?

You know I am talking about the level of QUALITY!

Oh right yeah sorry I thought you were comparing horrors there :p

You are never going to find a really well thought out horror except for maybe the first couple of Saw's.

All these video games I talked about are really really Well-thought out, Unfortunately Hollywood there are so ignorant or hate Video games based movies or something!!!

EVERY damn video game movie turns out much worse than VG itself, Why Hollywood?

And, there we go with more Rehash of something already great... I hope they have at least Hot chicks in it!!!

Back in February the boys over at Latino Review had broke the news first that Jackie Earle Haley was in fact locked down as your new Freddy Krueger. While at the time they were wrong in the fact that it was a done deal, this afternoon Bloody-Disgusting learned exclusively that Haley is now in final talks to pull over that grimy red and green sweater, strap on the infamous razor glove and tip his fedora as the brand-spanking-new Freddy Krueger! Expect an official announcement as early as next week. Shooting begins under the watch of Samuel Bayer at the end of the month in Chicago on A Nightmare on Elm Street, New Line Cinema's reboot of the infamous franchise created by Wes Craven that followed Krueger, a serial child killer murdered by angry parents, who returns with a burnt face and a razor glove to terrorize teens in their dreams. Don't fall asleep on April 16, 2010.

decent casting of freddy but i think this movie will tank, no one can replace robert england. i think 2007-2010 will go down in history as the years of the remakes when hollywood ran out of original ideas.

    • Ocenaudio 3.19.3 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.
