The remake of A Nightmare on Elm Street will be released April 2010, and promises to be twice as frightening than the original. Normally I dislike remakes, but at least Michael Bay is attempting this one, and not Rob Zombie.

The Scoop
The original “Nightmare” was written and directed by Wes Craven and released in 1984. The new project will keep the high school setting and delve deeper in the psychology of nightmares and Freddy Krueger himself.
A re-imagining of the horror icon Freddy Krueger, a serial-killer who wields a glove with four blades embedded in the fingers and kills people in their dreams, resulting in their real death in reality.
Jackie Earle Haley is the new/old Freddy Krueger , you know him as Walter Kovacs/Rorschach from Watchmen, but us older folk know him as ‘Kelly Leak’ from The Bad News Bears (1977). Kyle Gallner ( The Haunting in Connecticut ) plays lead teen, Quentin who is also Rooney Mara’s boyfriend in the film.
This time around, we learn about the death of Freddy, how he was killed, and a new round of killings by the awesome Jackie Earle Haley, instead of Robert Englund playing Krueger. I like this, I like it a lot. This franchise needed a new direction and a new lead character to play Fred Krueger.
Release Date
April 30th 2010,
Starring
Update : Jackie Earle Haley (Freddy Krueger), Kyle Gallner (Quentin) and Thomas Dekker (Jesse) and Rooney Mara (Urban Legends: Bloody Mary) is in final negotiations to star as the teen hero. Katie Cassidy and Kellan Lutz are also in the film.
Reminds me of
A Nightmare on Elm Street (lol)
Interesting Fact
I was 13 when the original A Nightmare on Elm Street came out, and when the legendary album 1984 by Van Halen arrived. Sucks to be you, young blood.
The Good
Michael Bay is producing the film, Freddy Krueger, Gloves with blades, screaming teen girls, Nightmares, Nostalgia, Wes Craven. Katie Cassidy is an incredible babe, and Jackie Earle Haley is going to do wonders for the role of Kreuger.
The Bad
Fear of having a childhood favorite ruined. I think Bay will do this remake properly, and avoid the mistakes Rob Zombie seems to constantly do when remaking classic movies.
