Now that New Line Cinema has unleashed the first trailer for their reboot of A Nightmare on Elm Street, Platinum Dunes producer Brad Fuller has updated his official blog with some details on what took so long for it to be released, while also answering a few of your questions about Mr. Freddy Krueger (played by Jackie Earle Haley). In addition, Fuller also makes a very interesting remark that should get you excited, basically he drops the hint that he's aware that the next Friday the 13th film is the 13th movie in the franchise. A Nightmare on Elm Street arrives in theaters April 30, 2010.

It's nice to hear what Fuller has to say. He really does sound passionate about this and seems to have a good idea of Freddy fans crave.

"Thats right people, don't bitch about the trailer we put out. We havn't finished yet!" OK then why did you put it out? Everything that you put out is fair game to be bitched about.

Tricky title, MrDisgusting. But I hardly think they're pulling a "Part 13" on us. "Part 2" sounds much better.

as i predicted he doesn't have the stance or the look he doesn't even come close.this movie is setup for failure oh but go ahead and defend him wait till it comes out and see this horrible remake it's nothing but copycat scenes of the original.i really liked when puss dunes said they were going to make it there own they couldn't even come up with a original idea they stole scenes from wes's version and casted a person that doesn't come close to robert's freddy.this movie is nothing more than stirred fried shit.

I can't wait till NOES comes out and I am excited for Friday the 13th part 2 the most.

Roberts Freddy sucked past part 2. In fact the whole series sucked past part 2. Freddy became Beetle-Juice. I like all of the NOES movies, I even kinda liked 'Freddy's nightmares' the TV series, but man they sucked. "I am the Wizard Master!!", give me a fucking break.

Another unnesessary remake? Come on! Obviously it won't be as good as the original. I remember seeing the first one years ago when I was a little kid--it scared the shit out of me! I doubt this version will do the same.

LOL Beetlejuice. He was like Beetlejuice. He wasnt even scarry anymore. Hopefully this movie will make him scary again. Not so silly.

The Platinum Dunes films have been well made amd more importantly, well intentioned. It's pretty obvious that Bay, Fuller, and the rest are fans with a great deal of respect for the properties they remake. Not every aspect of every movie will pkease every fan, but they're committed to making the best films possible. If you don't think so, look no further than the remakes of The Fog, Prom Night,He Knows You're Alone, Halloween and so many others for examples of remakes by hacks who don't care what they put out, as long as a pretty trailer guarantees a good opening weekend.

i think you all need to stop bitchin and throwing out your harsh opinions of what you see in the trailers of all remakes. i only say this because i like how people judge a movie that hasnt come out yet but when it does it changes and you all think differently than what you saw in the trailer! Robert Englund=The Master of Freddy but Jackie is the best he fits him so much & he literally scares me!! so watch the movie before you speak & talk negative about a film that hasn't even shown you more..its just getting started

&& might i add Friday the 13th how about sticking to the original for the second installment & show Pamela Voorhees

Roberts Freddy did not suck at all. First 3 nightmare on elm street movies were awesome, 4th one was ok, the last 2 I'll agree were more like comedy spoofs but I still enjoyed them. And he was also great in New Nightmare. Robert's Freddy was awesome too proved that he could play a serious and none serious role at the same time yet still make the movies enjoyable. Jackie is just a wannabe Freddy who can't act worth a good villain let alone to Englund any justice. So fuck you GI. Dan, you obviously don't know nothing about good horror movies. this remake can just die.

I know nothing about good horror movies? You just said Nightmare 3 was awesome. OK wizard master.


DreamWave
7:24pm, October 1, 2009

Nightmare 3 was an awesome film, but 80 percent of the time, Englund looked crappy and lame in it. the make up was weak, and he looked goofy in it at times...especially near the end in that boiler room, what a joke.lol the movie was a blast though, but since 3 the makeup and his performance has been goof-afied. Haley's main problem is that he's short...they say the make up and voice isn't final, thank god because it looked unimpressive...

I'm already dying to see it. You can be sure this'll be on all of my calendars within an hour!! Fuck yeah!


GI.Dan
7:34pm, October 1, 2009

oh yeah and New Nightmare sucked too. "REEEEX" god I fucking hated that kid. And Wes Craven was such an asshole in that movie, talking about "Freddy as an entity" or whatever the fuck. The whole movie was about how Wes thought he made such an evil character that Satan himself would find Freddy so cool and menacing that he would want to stop being satan and become Freddy? Only a self mastabatory fuck would write a story like that about a character he created. How come no one in the movie thought to kill Wes Craven? I mean it was his fucking "nightmare/visions" that were making all that shit happen. Or was it satan? dun-dun-duuuuu

OK 'EnglundFTW',and 'DreamWave', I will admit that I liked Patricia Arquette, Jennifer Rubin, and Larwence Fishburn's preformances in 3. I like all of those movies, but I know they ain't quality.

Dear Brad Fuller: people who hate your remake (cos itīs just a remake, itīs not even a movie) hate it not for being good or bad, they hate the fact of the remake itself. Nightmare On Elm Street should remain untouched. There are millions of fans all over the world and all of them hate you for doing this. Itīs so disrespectful. If you want to remake something, remake Hollywood, cos itīs over man. How can you sleep at night?

People are tired of remakes. They all suck.

GIDan....3 cant compare to 1 obviously, but you cant deny how entertaining 3 was, sure it has its faults but it's still a fun ride and probably the best Nightmare sequal period if you can look past the fact that freddy started to look and act goofier, was in the light and get past the cheese, than it's a fantastic time. And I hated New Nightmare, had to of been the worst out of the sequals. 1,3 and 2 are the best. And freddy's Dead was a blast, as horrible as it was lol 4 and 5 were mediocre, especially 5.


DreamWave
7:49pm, October 1, 2009

Freddy vs jason is another example of an entertaining and fun movie, but it's totaly mediocre and could of been sooo much better.

even though i was (and still am a little) angry at Fuller for his hyperbole regarding the FRIDAY movie and DVD, he DOES sound like a nice guy. i hope that F13pt2 turns out great! (although it seems like another rush job...like H2 was).

8:01pm, October 1, 2009

alright legends ive just become a member of bloody disgusting because im tired of hearing people say that the new nightmare on elmstreet actually looks good when i heard about it i got angry when i saw the trailer and the new design of freddy i nearly punched my laptop what the fuck have they done to the horror icon to the legend why did they have to do this the fuckers i hope wes sues them for ruining his masterpiece and i hope the real freddy krueger aka ROBERT ENGLUND puts the glove that originally belongs to him on and shove them blades through brad fullers chest quotting theres only one springwood slasher BITCH


djblack1313
8:02pm, October 1, 2009

and GI. DAN you said "Roberts Freddy sucked past part 2.." i TOTALLY agree. Jackie will be an EXCELLENT Freddy and just may make me like this franchise again. i haven't liked them since part 1 (and most of part 3).
