I prefer to think of remakes as covers to movies. For example, I love Pink Floyd's "Wish you were here", but I also really enjoy Radiohead's cover of it. It's a new artist's interpretation of a classic. The same can be said about Halloween and TCM.

id love to see Freddy come out of the wall at me...that would be kick ass

No and No.

Even though, i am not behind this remake because A nightmare on elm st is the few Classics that should not be remade but what can we do, they are remaking the Classic wes craven's movie. Michael Bay is not going to listen to us but whatever to him...

This is is MY DREAM CASTING FOR Nancy. This probably the fan of me talking but I think the amazing Sophia Bush, who is best known for her role of Brooke Davis on the hit CW series ONE TREE HILL, would be perfect for the role of Nancy. Even though Sophia would have to do something to elavate her performance as Nancy like Heather Langenchamp did in the original. This is probably just the Sophia fan talking inside me but i would love to see Sophia in the remake portraying Nancy. She can do it, she is a great actress and she was the only i liked the remake of the Hitcher(2007).

I know the remake will never be as good as the remake but at least They would have an AMAZING actress like Sophia Bush in it, but i know it is a long shot and I know Sophia will be busy filming the 7th season of One Tree Hill in the 2009/2010 season but she was the star in movies before in 2007, 2006.

I know it is just a long shot but even though I AM AGAINST THIS REMAKE, having one of my favorite actresses involved would make it tolerable for me. I did read Michael Bay is reinventing both the friday the 13th and Nightmare series, so reinvent the character of Nancy too...Sophia would knock the role out of the park---she is a great actress--but this is just the Sophia fan in me hoping she would be cast as Nancy. I can hope can't I

I'm completely against her playing Nancy - she (or those working on her behalf) stoops too low to be taken seriously.

One of FEW classics that should NOT be remade?

I couldn't disagree with you more. Most classics should be left the hell alone.


Hollywood has shown again and again that nothing good comes out of remaking good movies. I just don't see the purpose.

I completely agree but Hollywood won't listen to the fans, if they went and made a remake to, texas chainsaw massicre, Friday the 13th, Halloween. It was matter of time until they remade a Nightmare.

Brad Fuller and Andrew Form, the brains behind Platinum Dunes - who produced The Texas Chainsaw Massacre and upcoming Friday the 13th remake - have been speaking to chud.com about their next project - a Nightmare on Elm Street reboot.

Form revealed that - as with Chainsaw's Leatherface and Friday's Jason - they would firstly be keeping Freddy Krueger's look, with the jumper and the iconic bladed glove all present and correct.

Fuller also said they hadn't decided on a helmer, but were looking for a "visual director who can blow people away." It seems the dream sequences are all important: "Seamless transitions are the key, where the audience truly has no idea if it's a dream or not until it's too late you realize you've been duped for the last 30, 40, 90 seconds and the person's been dreaming the whole time."

They hinted however that they may change the character's back-story, with the original Freddy's gruesome origins revolving around him victimizing the children of Elm Street, which lead the neighbourhood's parents to gang up and burn him alive.

Said Fuller: "The concept of the original A Nightmare on Elm Street wouldn't work. The concept of the movie is the kids discovering what happened, and the kids paying the price for their parent's sins. What we're struggling with is how we have his crimes in a way where the kids can't just type in 'Freddy Krueger' [into Google] and come up with his arrest record."

The film is set to begin shooting in Chicago this spring.

This is just sickening. :( My all time favorite movie is going to be ruined with a remake.

And changing all of the actors after like 8 movies is a HORRIBLE idea.

No one can be freddy except Robert Englund. He just IS freddy.

And a new Nancy...god My life is over.
