This isn't another sequel to the "A Nightmare on Elm Street" series. This film is another reboot of a classic horror film, just like the remade "Halloween" and "Friday the 13th."
What is next? A reboot of "Hellraiser?" Now that I said it...it will probably happen.
EDIT: Turns out they are making a "Hellraiser" reboot and it is supposed to come out later this year. So yes, all classic horror movies will be remade.
According to Latino Review, "Michael Bay's Platinum Dunes and New Line have hired a director for the reboot of "Nightmare on Elm Street," bringing on Samuel Bayer to direct the reimagining of the Wes Craven classic.
Bayer, for the uninitiated, is a sought-after director whose best-known work is in commercials and music videos; he's won best director at MTV's VMAs and is responsible for a host of iconic videos, including Nirvana's 'Smells Like Teen Spirit' and Blind Melon's video for 'No Rain,' featuring the famous girl in a bumblebee costume."
Wait...a music video director will be directing this horror remake? We have to check this out.
Nirvana - "Smells Like Teen Spirit"
Blind Melon - "No Rain"
As long as Freddy doesn't do any song and dance numbers it might be okay.
Latino Review also claims that Platinum Dunes No. 1 choice to play Freddy is Jackie Earle Haley, who plays Rorschach in the upcoming film "Watchmen."
I think he would make a great sadistic villain since Rorschach is pretty much insane too.
More news to come! Catch ya' later!
