Really looking forward to this one. Hope it's up to par with the new TCM, Halloween, and Friday the 13th.

So will this blend no. 2 with no.1. I don't really remember Jesse in part 1 but it has been a while since i saw it. I thought he was the slightly gay one in no. 2

thomas dekker is so hot...im glad he looks kinda gay...the only thing i dont like about this remake is that therre changing all the names of the characters...but the jesse in nightmare on elm street freddy's revenge did seem gay.

I'm very happy with this casting news as Dekker really is very good in SCC and from what I've read online, they've changed all the names of the characters apart from Nancy and Krueger, so i'm guessing this is just a coincidence that his character has the same name as the protaganist in Freddy's Revenge. Looking back on that sequel, it really was beyond it's time... the makers stated they never knew about the gay subtext throughout the film, but come on it is so blatantly in your face that how could they not. Plus, it was rare to see a male protaganist in a horror movie back then. Freddy's Revenge is without a doubt one of the best in the franchise (and probably the last time Freddy was truly scary IMO!)

Jesse resembles the character of Rob from the original. Kris resembles Tina, and Kris and Jesse are the always-breaking-up couple. I think the characters' names are just homages to the sequels.

haha Thomas says he is final talks and BD writes "He WILL JOIN the cast...." You don`t even know if he will actually be in the movie. he has not even signed yet. Talk about rushing to conclusions.

It actually WASN'T that great of a script. It was barely a remake, they should of just made it into a sequel or prequel. but, it seems that dude is right for playing Freddy. We'll see.

Ahh, I am getting way too excited for this. It's like waiting for Friday the 13th all over again!!!

I don’t know why but what Lewistonspecial scares me a little. Hey Lewistonspecial, have you seen a script? And has anyone heard anything about the character of Nancy? Or is it going to be like a whole new character set up, except for the possibility of Jesse.

Can't wait! great cast so far.

So far so good.

ENOUGH WITH THE REMAKES FOR FUCK SAKES....If this is a prequel showing how Freddy became Freddy, than awesome, but nobody can't come up with their own ideas these days and they're remaking timeless classics that should not be touched.

Why the hell would you need a prequel of Freddy becoming Freddy when you have the entire series to tell you what happened before the original? The only way I would see a prequel to Nightmare is if they had the Elm Street kid's (Nancy, Rod, Glen, Tina, etc.)older siblings who died prior to the events of the original. I think this was mentioned in a deleted scene when Marge explains to Nancy about who Freddy was. Anywho, I'm looking forward to the remake. It seems to have an amazing cast so far, and I'm dying to know who will be playing Nancy and Kris!

hmmm. I'll let you know what I think of this in 362 days...

I hope they dont fuck this up like Friday the 13th.

wow another good casting choice. they may just pull this off

eh

"If this is a prequel showing how Freddy became Freddy" - They already showed how freddy became freddy in part 5. lol, wtf

hey bile and they show how fred became fred in jason goes to hell also. WTF also I hope Terminator comes on for one last season. Thats I all i ask. I never ask for much. And one last thing if they ruin this movie I will hunt them down and make them into doggy food.

I remember seeing this kid on House, and was like..WhyTF does he look so familiar. he was the main blonde kid in Village of the Damned remake.. the one that was good..but not..or whatever.
