Red Carpet Rundown - A Nightmare on Elm Street 2010

Freddy Krueger is on a hot streak again. First he was burned by angry lynch mob, then he was thrust into the spotlight in 1984 when director Wes Craven brought him to life in sort of a baptism by fire, unleashing him on an unsuspecting audience of teens. Now, still seared into our brains, Krueger is back in fine form in the form of Academy Award nominated actor Jackie Earle Haley. He was on-hand (and fortunately clawless) for the "black carpet" premiere, as were many of his friends, costars, and the filmmakers behind the reboot.
I was there to do some interviews (I already saw the movie last weekend), and give you the lowdown, so here we go!
= = =
One of the first folks on the carpet was Arlen Escarpeta, who was a victim in another Platinum Dunes produced remake, 2009's Friday the 13th
Next up was "Jason Voorhees" himself, Derek Mears. Derek will next be seen starring alongside Adrien Brody in Predators
We also got a chance to talk to some of the alum from former Nightmare installments, such as Ken Saoges from A Nightmare on Elm Street Pt 4: Dream Master
One of my favorite interviews of the evening was with the iracible and utterly charming Clancy Brown, who weighed the pros and cons of playing a movie character whose name is so dangerously close to "Alan Smithee"
Screenwriter Wesley Strick and Clancy Brown - Strick was mum on the moniker
Sunglasses were really popular on the carpet that night. "...Future's so bright, Jackie's gotta wear shades!"
Here's director Samuel Bayer, probably worriedly wondering what Kendra and Hank will think of his movie!
Here's star Thomas Dekker (who horror fans know from his work in Laid to Rest, while scifi fans liked him in Sarah Conner Chronicles), along with Platinum Dunes producers Andrew Form and Brad Fuller
Kyle Gallner claws the air with Freddy-flair
The ethereal Rooney Mara told us what it was like to play the new Nancy (right after she told TV-Guide Channel), while her onscreen "mom", Connie Britton stands by
What is it, up in the sky? A bird? A plane? A flying Freddy?
Nope! It's just a spooky, cloud-enshrouded full moon: the perfect ambiance for sweet dreams after A Nightmare on Elm Street

| Jason Voorhees won’t appear if you say his name in front of the mirror 3 times? But he did it in all the movies.:confused: | |

| watching scary movies on friday the 13th night.. | |
| I'm a fan of horror movies ever since. I really enjoy watching it. but I invited a friend of mine to watch a horror movie on a friday the 13th night and she freaked out. Then i learned that she is a Friggatriskaidekaphobic. Every now and again, a Friday happens to be day 13 of any given month. Even though there isn’t any reason to be worried about this, many get scared and it’s called Friggatriskaidekaphobia. Black cats are not scary since things they do shed and maybe scratch a kid or two. You will find a lot of individuals who sincerely believe in many superstitions. You are a Friggatriskaidekaphobia if you have a fear of the [URL="http://personalmoneystore.com/moneyblog/2010/08/13/friggatriskaidekaphobia-friday-the-13th/"]Figure out if you’re a Friggatriskaidekaphobia?[/URL] Fear of Friday the 13th. Jason Voorhees won’t appear, even if you say the word within the mirror three times. But anyways I really find horror movies still the best.. It makes my heart pump faster. | |
