Dammit, I'm just about to go to bed.

[Slumbag]

That actually looks kinda good.

[SHANEFROMGA]

looks good but i don't like his voice. not "freddieish" enough. oh well remakes ahoy.

I might go as a fan of the original series but this movie looks like it is simply an update. Many moments in the trailer looked like they were straight out of the earlier films.
Now we'll know what these scenes look like on newer film!! No more 80's quality film viewing for us!!

the advantage that remakes have is that they will be able to tell more of the backstory of what happened.

if i remember, something happened and the parents burned him in a furnace or something along those lines. i thought the parents chasing him through the factory was awesome.

much like the halloween remake by RZ. the beginning of the movie up to where michael breaks out of the nut hut was remarkable. i turned it off at that point cause i had to go to sleep. the original mentioned it, but briefly.

Seemed to me to be the same story. Krueger was an accused pedo or simply a child murderer (?) in the original. The parents of the town burned him alive because he wasn't in prison where he belonged. He got his revenge by preying on the children in their sleep.

The scene of Krueger running for his life was good stuff anyway.

Note to filmmakers: please stop overexplaining the things we enjoy.

This is all George Lucas' fault.

looks good but the voice sounds too much like rorsach playing kruger

[grlNIN]

This did not need to be remade.

[Drunky McBetidont]

This did not need to be remade.

exactly, it was shitty enough the first time (although johnny dep was hot)

[Kublakhan61]

This did not need to be remade.

Has any remake been necessary? (serious question)

[grlNIN]

Depends on who is remaking it and what angle they're pursuing.

The Cape Fear remake was great.

[HBox]

I actually watched the original Nightmare on Elm Street this weekend and holy shit does that not hold up. The effects were silly and the whole plot of the movie falls apart at the end to the point where I had no idea what was happening. Which is not to say that they should have remade it. It looks like any generic slasher film that is released today, except with Freddy Krueger.

[instrument]

All franchises need a restart, just liike comics.

Good for them.

yeah thats about right.

[topless_mike]

plus, katie cassidy is in it. maybe we'll see some boobage.

[Flea_Man]

Agreed. (btw, can't believe there's another La Coka Nostra fan on the board besides me. Awesome.)



And I can't wait for this. Looks great.

James Caan looks terrible.

[Contra]

As much as I want to hate this the trailer look kind of good.

[razorboy]

Produced by Michael Bay AND directed by a music video director? Talk about your fail proof formula for movie magic.

[Penelope]

I am looking forward to this.

[KingGeno]

Same here. I am just looking forward to some new horror sequels/remakes. I will always have the originals to watch, but aanother spin of classic characters ain't bad.
