‘A Nightmare on Elm Street’ Trailer Hits 1.6m Views, Slows BD
Sunday at midnight MySpace revealed the first trailer for New Line Cinema’s A Nightmare on Elm Street, which featured your first look at the Platinum Dunes produced remake arriving in theaters April 30. Since then, the trailer has received 1.6 million views on MySpace, making it one of the top videos ever on the social networking site. In fact, the trailer was so popular here on Bloody Disgusting it slowed the site to a screeching halt (you may have noticed the slow performance all day yesterday) and forced us to make some changes to our comment section. You can check out the trailer again below or click here to join the conversation. What did YOU think of the footage? The films’ premise centers on Freddy Krueger (Jackie Earle Haley), a serial child molester murdered by angry parents, who returns with a burnt face and a razor glove to terrorize teens in their dreams.

Filming is underway on The Invisible Man director Leigh Whannell’s Wolf Man for Universal and Blumhouse, which will be howling its way into theaters on January 17, 2025.
Deadline reports that Matilda Firth (Disenchanted) is the latest actor to sign on, joining Christopher Abbott (Poor Things), Julia Garner (The Royal Hotel), and Sam Jaeger.
The project will mark Whannell’s second monster movie and fourth directing collaboration with Blumhouse Productions (The Invisible Man, Upgrade, Insidious: Chapter 3).
Wolf Man stars Christopher Abbott as a man whose family is being terrorized by a lethal predator.
Writers include Whannell & Corbett Tuck as well as Lauren Schuker Blum & Rebecca Angelo.
Jason Blum is producing the film. Ryan Gosling, Ken Kao, Bea Sequeira, Mel Turner and Whannell are executive producers. Wolf Man is a Blumhouse and Motel Movies production.
In the wake of the failed Dark Universe, Leigh Whannell’s The Invisible Man has been the only real success story for the Universal Monsters brand, which has been struggling with recent box office flops including the comedic Renfield and period horror movie The Last Voyage of the Demeter. Giving him the keys to the castle once more seems like a wise idea, to say the least.
