And they probably won't use Doug Bradley. It will be some snot nosed new actor, which will totally ruin the fucking film.

So, here's the first teaser pic...pretty minimal, but at least we get to see the sweater, hate and gloves are still intact:



I like the overall feel of the pic...seems reminiscent of the original, which is good.

Supposedly a 2nd pic was supposed to be released today as well, but I haven't been able to dig it up yet...

I think this might turn out to be very good. I won't hold high hopes though.

The folks over at Platinum Dunes unveiled a brief Comic-Con trailer today for the upcoming remake of A Nightmare on Elm Street.

The trailer, no more than two or three minutes in length, demonstrates a clear return to the dark, terrifying roots of the series and a clear relationship to the tone of the original.


(***SPOILERS ALERT***)




After a brief depiction of the burning of the iconic character in which Freddy Krueger is show being chased through an industrial part of town toward the boiler room which will hold his fate -- all the while screaming, "What do you think I did?" -- Jackie Earle Haley is shown as the Freddy that fans remember -- brutal and relentless.

The tone of the nightmares is decidedly surreal and creepy -- featuring some first-rate imagery and a great throwback to the first film's bodybag sequence.




(***END OF SPOILERS***)



While the make-up isn't shown in tremendous detail, the posture, voice and performance all indicate that fans should be very pleased with the casting when the film releases next April.

Anywho, The Child's Play remake is up next.

Yeah but Child's Play was stupid to begin with. I never understood how it was even remotely thrilling.

John Mayer will be playing Pinhead.

I'm actually O.K. with this remake. The franchise needs less jokes and more violence. Freddy is a killer not a comedian. Here's the official site.....http://nightmareonelmstreet.com/

Yeah, I had no idea that child molesters acted like Jim Carrey in the Mask.

Did you not pay attention to The Mask? Jim Carrey being a child molester was a MAJOR plotpoint.
