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.

A Nightmare on Elm Street remake trailer is coming...
 

October 2nd!

I'm stoked. Can't wait to see this

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.

I wish Hollywood would get over this remake phase. Its getting pretty ridiculous. Its one thing to remake April Fools Day, but to remake Halloween and When a Stranger Calls, the Omen, jesus next year theyll be remaking Suspiria with Natalie Portman... and trying to make an authentic remake is just about as bad as making any remake at all...

So, what your saying is alright to remake movies you dont like? Who the fuck do you think you are? Just because you like something alot its a sin to remake it? Its not just you. All you raging anti-remake folk have the same mind set. "I like that movie, so its sacred". So what if its remade? If your not into it, dont watch it. If a movie being remade has that big of an impact on you get professinal help, or a life.

By the way. So what if they remake Suspiria? Who gives a shit.

Or how about they remake it and put an actual ending on it? Jesus... Suspiria was a decent film with a great idea and a killer soundtrack, but people really overhype it sometimes. A great film finishes with a great ending, and Suspiria just cuts out.

Its a classic... and any classic movie that survives decades should be left the way it is. Remaking a movie like the Godfather would be stupid. Films have success because of lots of elements. Suspiria is one of those films that without the director, cant be done. Dario Argentos movies have campy acting because he doesnt put focus on that or storyline. His movies are about making you feel eerie inside, and he does the most superb job at that. From scene to scene you are engaged in beautiful works of art, unique cinematography, and then the brutal macabre deaths. Its like when they remade Texas Chainsaw Massacre. What a terrible idea that was....

Remakes suck.

Suspiria is the first in Argentos trilogy about the Three Mothers. Inferno, and Mother of Tears are Suspiria's sequels. When you watch those movies you watch them for the authentic view and expression of that director. Argento is very rare in that hes given freedom to truly express those ideas unlike many American producers. His giallos are works of art. I thought the ending to Suspiria was great.

America also tries to explain EVERYTHING with their remakes. Trying to put a good story to a Dario Argento film is a failed idea. You cant explain the crazyness that goes on in his movies because thats what its meant to be. A terrible nightmare he is trying to share with you.

And the score from GOBLIN that was used in Suspiria also was used with great success and worked beautifully in that movie.

Here's the scoop, the movie is left exactly the way it is, not a thing changes. There just happens to be another movie with a similar plot and the same title.

EDIT: And there is such a thing as an edit button, which I've just used in order to display it's functionality!

It will be left the way it is. If they do reamke Suspiria, and Im sure somebody probley will. The orginal version will still play the same as it did. Some people cant get thier mind around that. The orginal will still be there. No matter how many times its remade, no matter how bad said remakes are, THEY DONT EARSE THE ORGINAL.



So......in your past coupla posts youve said theres campy acting and bad storylines. No offense, but what I took from what youve said "its good because of all the purdy colors". Im taking some of it out of context I know, but alot of what youve typed seems like an endorsment for a remake.



Personally, Ive always found Suspiria extremely overated.

[QUOTE=Clockwork Black;830244]-EDIT-Gonna edit this before the overobsessed pricks go nuts on me for it.

[QUOTE=Clockwork Black;830244]Amen to that. Suspiria is good because of all the purdy colors. Argento films are like a gory lava lamp that's read The White Goddess and a bit of Lovecraft. Some of his films would be very good remake fodder. I still maintain Deep Red would be good in the hands of someone who can write a coherent script. And as for Suspiria, I'm pretty sure there's someone in Hollywood that understands GREEN. Movies are looking paler and greyer, I must admit, but I don't think green is completely beyond people's comprehension.

[QUOTE=Doc Faustus;830347]And David Gordon GREEN is directing it! What a hoot and a holler!

That's too ironic. I refuse to think about this now.

It's finally here!

Wow. That looks terrible. I think I'm gonna skip it.

Looks pretty good to me, I'll probably be checking it out... Can't see it comparing to the original though.

That didnt look too bad to be honest but didnt think too much about how Freddys burnt face looked. That could be a bit of an issue if he doesnt look right.

The trailer kinda killed it for me... I was ok with the idea of this remake, but that just looks pointless.

I brought my dad in to watch it. He's not a big movie fan or anything, but he likes Freddy and Michael. He stood up the second it was over "No..." and walked out of the room. :p

The trailer looked okay, but it's weird seeing some of the same scenes as in the original (but with different actors) - that kinda makes it look like a"Scary movie"-parody. My 2 cents.

Meh......Might check it out.

Blechh - trailer killed my anticipation outright.

I was actually somewhat looking forward to this one just to see what they'd do...looks like its going to have a lot of the same sequences, only with even worse actors (which is a bit of a feat) and horrendous dialogue, plus a Freddy with a Godawful accent and lame looking scars. Might have some interesting visuals from the looks of things, but otherwise...

Count me out thanks.

I'll wait for DVD.

were all gonna end up watching it. I think freddy has no lips in the previews, I think it still has a chance if they do the history of freddy Kruger and his reasoning for the burning.

I thought the trailer looked sweet up until I heard this new guys voice... Is it just me or does he sound like a total puss? I feel like I could be a more intimidating freddy. I was kinda hoping it was a joke.

man i saw the trailer for that and it looks lame, i think he had no nose,and well i know he was burned and all but well that guy just looks nothing like freddy but idk:confused:

just saw the trailer http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=wY53IlNKdqw

meh......it looks ok. nothing special

I'm trying not to judge before I see this remake but it's so hard since I'm a longtime fan of the series (except 2 and vs. ...those were just awful). After seeing the trailer a piece of me died just a bit lol. I mean, Freddy believing he's innocent? Um....no...just, no. And the whole Superman shirt opening bit? -hangs head in shame-

It's most likely that I'll make plans to see this in the theater, run out of money, get it from the library eight months later and then say "wow, I'm so glad I didn't pay for that piece of crap!"

I liked the trailer. I don't think you should under-estimate Jackie Earle Haley. My only gripe would be that it looks like a straight reproduction of the original movie. What the hell is up with that? They can't come up with new and creative ways of killing teenage girls?
