The new Nightmare on Elm Street remake

[massacre man]

Well, shit!

The director of one of my favorite music videos and an actor I like. If Michael Bay's name weren't attached I'd be excited!

[Dude Guadalupe]

As awesome as that sounds, I have to admit that I still have my doubts.

The guy looks like he could work the role - kinda creepy demeanor going on...

Cinemagoers are set to experience an entirely new Nightmare on Elm Street, with Warner Bros. today hiring a scribe to pen a remake of the horror classic.

Wesley Strick, who knows a thing or two about scares having written Arachnophobia, Cape Fear and Wolf in the early 1990s, has been charged with the task of re-imagining the scare-fest for a new generation.

According to Variety, Strick's re-boot will retain the original's high school setting, but delve deeper into the psychology of the razor-gloved serial killer Freddy Krueger.

Warner hopes to have the film in cinemas in 2009, to coincide with the original's 25th anniversary.

i hope it turns out good, fan's like me would have expectations, i wonder who will play freddy, robert englund better!

[Phalanx]

Maybe do some reading 'fore you talk next, eh?

[Zero]

i think robert de niro are going to play freddie and maybe meryl striepe will be his mother

[Clockwork Black]

That would be cool.

[Doc Faustus]

Pretty cool. But it'd be cooler if that dude from Watchmen and Little Children were Freddy. That'd be awesome.

I have never been a fan of remakes or "reimagining" but for some reason im looking forward to this one. Perhaps its because Jackie Earle Haley will make a great freddy. His role in little children made me feel this way. In that movie he plays a ex child molester much like freddy. Not to mention he was extremely good in that movie.

I think he'll add some revenant anguish to the character that Englund's sort of missing.
