Good luck guys!

Shame, shame on you, Mr. Fuller. You got me all excited for your movie when Mr. Haley and Mr. Bayer got involved. Then you rounded out the cast with some terribly uninspired and untalented casting. The only party with exception is Mr. Dekker. I've been a fan of Platinum Dunes, but you've lost me on this one.

I can't wait till the pics and news start rolling in!

AH! I want to find you guys! I live in Roselle which isn't far at all.

Good luck with the movie, Mr. Fuller. I'm really counting on this being a great 'Nightmare' movie. Please impress me. Bring back the scary Freddy of the original movie and not the silly clown of many of the sequels.

Can't wait either for pics and more news from the set. Damn I'm so excited! Great cast btw.

Sam Bayer is an incredible director I hope he does this film on a 1:85 like the previous films. I trust Bayer wants freddy to be like Nosferatu (just like that shot in Wes Craven's New Nightmare). But yeah The Birthday Massacre - Blue, imo is perfect for like the main song or theme.

Amidst all the blah blah blah, the only bit of relevant information that stands out is that things were removed from the script that people hated...yet, your example is measly pod-casting? That aspect isn't anywhere near as concerning as the rest of the abominable script. Despite the line-up of marketing tools for actors, fans want to know if you actually rewrote these characters so that they are actually relatable and not stereotypical, cannon fodder douchebags that come off as hateable. Not to mention, the ridiculous focus on Freddy's back story as a driving force that indirectly forces you to dislike these characters. Are you guys actually attempting to show an understanding of the original franchise with these script changes or are you still gutting out what made the original film smart and still stuffing it full of mainstream formula? Jackie Earle Haley isn't enough to forgive what's already heading in the wrong direction. That tactic may work on naive kids that will pay for anything, but disrespecting the fans that made this film successful enough for you to cash in on it is unacceptable.

ugh the script is horrible

Is it still too late to recommend no cigs or pot please and if any nudity make it male frontal, lol. I am very excited for this movie and will be reading the blog everyday, thanks for the info!

coolest image so far

This movie is going suck even worse then friday the 13th and the two halloween movies put together.This one is DOA, If i were you guys i would just drop the next sequel to the reboot of friday the 13th and start doing freddy vs jason 2 in it place instead. Then after that! Do a prequel with jason's mom back as the killer again, to finish off the original series.

The biggest thing a lot of people worry about is if Freddy is going to be that nasty piece of shit again or the clown. The majority of the fans want the nasty mean dark Freddy back. Give him back to us and keep this movies creepy again. Freddy is the main concern here. I am equally as excited as I am worried about this movie. As we all loved Robert Englund as Freddy, we are getting a new one and I really hope he does a great job. I really hope we are all fooled like with The Dark Knight and Heath Ledger as the Joker. That's what I want to see here. I really hope this stays true to the original movie. Nightmares and all - at the same time we need some new creepy stuff to give us these nightmares again. I'm over the fact that this is a remake, so please satisfy these needs.

You are not listening to the fans or you would know that replacing Robert Englund as Freddy Krueger was the biggest mistake you could have ever made. This movie is a disgrace to the whole Nightmare on Elm Street franchise and it will be a total failure. Jackie Earle Haley is no Robert Englund and Jackie Earle Haley is no Freddy Krueger. This movie needs to be stopped right now. Over 1,300 people agree that this movie is a huge mistake and spit in the face of the original Nightmare on Elm Street.

A sequel to Freddy vs. Jason, are you kidding me. That movie was a complete joke in my eyes. Enough with the Robert Englund being replaced. Jackie is the new Freddy, so accept it. If you can't, then just simply move on.

I have a few things: KILL QUINTIN OFF! What made the original so strong was Nancy losing all her friends and family, and she faced Krueger on her own. Her family life should also be WAY more difficult. Have the mother an alcoholic. It's way more affective, and we root for Nancy more.

Jackie Earle Haley will never be Freddy Krueger in the eyes of the true fans of the Nightmare on Elm Street films. Robert Englund is the one and only true Freddy Krueger. This movie is just a complete disgrace to the true fans of the Nightmare on Elm Street series and to the Nightmare on Elm Street series itself.

Yes, kill Q. off. That would be nice.

If the script isn't getting a major rewrite, I'd suggest killing off everybody. It would be almost a relief to see these bland stereptypes wiped out rather than watching some lame shovel-weilding showdown with an eye-roller one-liner ending. Take a hint from where Halloween: Resurrection went wrong: if you're going to have a terrible script with annoying, cannon fodder characters, just give up and have the killer destroy everybody in the movie.

Good luck with filming Brad. I know you catch enough shit on here, and not enough positive messages. To each their own. You can't please everyone. I'm glad this franchise is getting the reset button! It def. needed it!!!!

yeah, Q. should be killed off. Nancy should not bring up Crystal Lake in conversation and should not be listening to ipods at parties. Just don't have Nancy at the party if she's not social. There's no reason you need to have all the teens in the opening scene. And all the teens shouldn't have been molested by Freddy only to repress it. What about older siblings to the main characters being victims to Krueger that are no longer alive? And why can't he be a molestor AND a killer?! No shovel fights. No this is for this person, and this person as Nancy hits freddy. There are so many smart and imaginative things that could be done with this reboot and the script that is out there is not smart or imaginative. "I can assure you there are easier films to make with less downside and far less scrutiny" Oh, boo-hoo. There are easier movies but why make those when you have a brand name like F13 and NOES and masses of ignorant youth that will throw down their money to see these classic villans again on the big screen.

GOOD LUCK Brad and everyone involved, I sincerely hope this goes very well and I for one am looking forward to seeing freddy return, scarier, darker and more evil than he ever has! As i've said before, even though part 2 is universally bashed (god knows why as I think it is an awesome film), most people agree fred is at his most sinister in that film, something i really hope to see here. i really hope we do not get fully lit close-ups, it takes the fear out of it. in the shadows is the way to go, the less we see and hear, the scarier he becomes. not being able to see, identify or understand what threatens us is FAR scarier than any special effect could ever hope to create. I have not read the script (do not want to ruin anything before i am sat in the cinema), however I do stress some concern from what i've heard that this will just be another flashy hollywood film with an attractive cast of stereotypical teens. I'd MUCH rather fully rounded, fleshed out 3 dimensional characters who are NORMAL).i it's very boring and tiresome when every major horror film falls foul of this constant pitfall. but I shall hold off on any negative thoughts until more details start to surface. I put my faith in you guys to make this the ultimate NOES film! I look forward to hearing more from elm street.

I am SOOOO excited for this remake! The cast looks great and the story sounds fantastic so far! While I do want Freddy to remain mysterious, I DO want to see him. Similarly to the original Part 1. You never saw him in bright light. There was enough light to still see what he looked like but still dark enough to render him scary. As a glove-maker, I CANNOT wait for the new glove! I REALLy hope it's similar to the original Part 1 glove. I don't want something fancy or flashy like the Versus glove... something simply yet deadly. the Original Hero glove is the ultimate Freddy weapon and I hope they keep it similar. I've been a Freddy fan for as long as I can remember and to hear what I've heard thus far... April 16, 2010 cannot come soon enough!

These are some comments I'd like to make about possible changes in the script that fans have commented to me... assuming Brad reads the comments on here: The "Guitar Hero scene". MANY fans want that scene removed. Reason: It dates the film. In 10-15 years... Guitar Hero may be a thing of the past and this film should try to remain timeless like the original. Could we replace it with a pool table/ping pong table or something? I've been told that at the funeral scene of the first victim, the Priest says "eternal dream". I've heard some people say that too many "dream" references where they usually aren't brought up might be overkilling the dream subject. (Who says "eternal dream" to describe the deceased?) Could we say "eternal rest" or "that eternal realm" or something like that instead? I hate to make criticisms but it seems to me that the creators of this film also welcome input from fans so I'm passing some on.

I am really excited tomorrow is the first day on the set for the movie! I am celebrating with a “kick-off” party at my house. I am so excited you guys are doing this project! I know without a doubt that Krueger is in good hands. This team is going to be phenomenal at recreating what I consider my favorite iconic legend. Keep us up to date!

Freddy Krueger is in the wrong hands, they are ruining Freddy Krueger, Jackie Earle Haley is a hack, he is no Robert Englund and Jackie Earle Haley is no Freddy Krueger. This movie is a disgrace. I hope they have bad weather in Chicago tomorrow just so they can't film. They are killing the Nightmare on Elm Street franchise.

I posted some thoughts earlier today on the comments for the last blog-I'll repost here. So I just started reading the script...can someone please tell me WHY THE FUCK IS NANCY A 'CREEPY GOTH GIRL'? (that is an actual quote from character 'Jesse' for those who haven't read it yet). I guess a detail like this is what PD defines as their 're-imagining' of the story. This piece of shit is going to be exactly that-just what I expected. Jackie Earle Haley isn't gonna save this script...'Remember me? We used to play'...BARF It's no wonder they are using some of the lines from the original. R.I.P. NOES And OF COURSE these geniuses also figured out a way to throw in an UNDERGROUND TUNNEL. (in a Kris dream sequence) JEEEESUSSSSS H. MOTHERRRRR FUCKKKING CHRRRRRIISSSTTTT! It just wouldn't be a PD remake without a good old fashioned underground tunnel. This news now has me excited for the overblown sepia tone this film (like all other PD remakes) will have. PLATINUM DUNES PLEASE JUST FUCKING STOP ALREADY ENOUGH IS ENOUGH-IF YOU WANT TO MAXIMIZE YOUR PROFITS TRASH THE SCRIPT AND THE CAST AND START FRESH AND GET THE REAL MOTHERFUCKING FREDDY YOU TALENTLESS FUCKING HACKS

RageofStreets and Deepred, I am with you 100%. And everyone, PLEASE, stop bringing up Heath Ledger as the Joker. I'm not going to get into it again but it is NOT a fair comparison. Cry me a river Brad Fuller, of course you COULD have chosen to remake a lesser known film than NOES-but honestly, why the FUCK would you do that? YOU KNOW this is going to be a home run at the box office, this is in fact the BIGGEST MONEY MAKING FRANCHISE IN HORROR HISTORY! For the record I haven't trusted a thing you've said since you guys swore up and down that Robert Englund didn't want to reprise the role-WE KNOW YOU'RE FULL OF SHIT. You should know many of us are savvy enough to realize you never wanted Englund for 'your' NOES. There is an interview with Englund right after the reboot was announced. I posted a link to it in a previous blog. He said HE WOULD DO IT. Stop bullshitting and come clean-tell the fans the truth, you didn't want Englund, and he is now doing what is known as 'bowing out gracefully'.

same old same old when it comes to myers23, we get it dude u don't like the idea...GET OVER IT BRO, IT'S REALLY STARTING TO GET FUCKING ANNOYING!!!

I am glad it is getting annoying but it is going to get a lot worse before it gets better. This movie is going to be pure trash.

This movie is absolutely in the wrong hands and it is being destroyed. They replaced Robert Englund as Freddy Krueger, biggest mistake they could have ever made, from what I am reading on here they are trying to make Nancy goth, another huge mistake. They are just completely killing this movie and making it pure trash. Jackie Earle Haley is nothing compared to Robert Englund. This movie will be dead on arrival to the theaters if it gets made but I hope they smarten up and trash this project, either that or give Jackie Earle Haley the boot and bring in the real Freddy Krueger Robert Englund.

I can't wait to see this movie. It sounds like Samuel Bayer has a great vision for it so I'm really looking forward to seeing that vision. Good luck with the shoot and everything else.

Good luck! I'll be checking in to watch this unfold for sure. I love this series, my favourite since childhood. Can't wait for this film, make it a ball tearer for us! Cheers and godspeed.

Good, I hope you listen not to sound like a jerk. Good luck with my beloved Freddy. Do us proud!

People complaining about Robert Englund being replaced piss me off. For GOD sake...relax! It was exactly the same when Michael Keaton was cast as Batman and when Daniel Craig got the Bond gig. The pissy fan boys wet their pants screaming foul! And what happened...the actors knocked it outta the damn park. In the real world, actors get old and move on from roles. Remember Dracula? We have BelaLugosi, GeorgeHamilton, Gary Oldman and Christopher Lee each having a stab at it and bringing their own unique take on the character. I love Englund as much as the next guy, but geeze, let go and move on. Move forward. Embrace the fact that there is a new Freddy movie coming. Quit the hate until after you view the movie AND THEN form an opinion on what you've seen. Not what you imagine.

blah blah blah we listen to our fans. What a wank ! You guys must be the first bunch of producers EVER in hollywood history to listen to fans.Yeah right. STOP BULLSHITTING US!!! Just make a decent horror movie for once, like MBV 3D which pissed all over F13.

lmao..he really did hint at my last comment,he does read these things! lmao ahh well..Im gonna miss the real freddy..but I guess its too late to be sad over it now..

I'm glad this is happening I just want them to realize that "Freddy" is much much more then another movie or just some character this is apart of someones childhood freddy was just as much apart of my family than any uncle or cousin he was my 90's as a little boy,the endless nightmares,the filled notebooks of my childhood drawings of him,me begging my mom and granny for $2.00 just to go to the video store to rent a freddy movie,all the Halloween's dressed as freddy.The excitement I felt when I saw the ad on tv for wes craven's new nightmare..Mr.fuller realize this is far from just another stab in the dark at another movie..Freddy is my generation's Dracula..I want you guy's to be in this for the long run not just 1 or 2 movies every 6 or so years..I PROMISE!! this will blow friday the 13th out the park as far as the money just by the "Nightmare on elm street name" alone that's gonna bring in HELLA money,freddy had 2 show's 3 video game's countless dolls and action figures,8 song's about it,as of 2008 the films alone made $339,706,250..the crossover success alone of freddy is huge in the white,black,latino and asian communities..I hope you guys and most important mr.haley know's the weight on your shoulder's the weight of an entire generation's childhood..Dont just crank out another pretty,teen filled,tits and blood covered movie "noes" was faaaaaaaaar from that,it was not a horror movie it was a psychological thriller just the idea of a child molestor/killer that was killed by angry parents and returned in their childrens dream to punish them for the sins of their parents is amazing he's not some average thoughtless zombie or knife,chainsaw,machete wielding killer.This man Knows everything about you,all your fear's everything you love and care about he knows because he's in you.Its not like jason or michael or chucky where you can just run from him and hide,or run and get help or show proof that he was there.If you sleep you die,you dont sleep you die either way he wins,I hope rooney can convey that,the nancy of the original knew she was alone in this,all her friends were dead,her mom was a drunk and her dad was to busy everyone thought she was crazy and soon she thought she was to,she made you feel for her.see what I'm saying? freddy knew what he was doing when he killed her friends 1st and left her last he likes to have fun with his victims not just stab them in the head and go on to the next he tried to drive nancy crazy by taking everything from her.this sick twisted evil bastard was smart,he had a sense of humor,he thought his things out,he's not a hunter like the new jason,he's not like leatherface needing to be lead by the sheriff..God how I wish I could be there with you to give you a true to life fans take on what your doing..good luck guys I'm really glad that you are atleast giving this a chance and bringing freddy back I'm a huge fan of your work so far and I wish you nothing but the best!! -Darrell steele

MAJOR concern: Freddy absoutely must be a serial child murderer before his death. A character who kills children just to kill them is somehow much more scary than a little pervert who is primarily concerned with satisfying his pathetic sexual desires. I also feel that Freddy as a child molester will really turn off the public. I'd like to see the "Freddy mania" of the 80's come back but I think the molester thing will make it less likely to happen. Wes wisely took that aspect out of the original script.

Another thing, if you people loved these franchises as much as you say you do on your blogs - you would have at least had the respect to approach Wes Craven and received his blessing. Hell, showing him the script and getting his input wouldn't have been a bad idea either since it was HIS idea to begin with.

DAKAZA is correct. He must be a child killer. But I do respect you for listening to fans and changing anything, even the podcasting. That is cool. Gotta give credit.

He mustn't be anything. He should be and will be what they make him to be. How can you say that a child killer is much more scarier than a child molester? Did you experience that as a kid? This movie is different, the way it's suppose to be. And another thing, "Wes Craven doesn’t have any rights to the Nightmare on Elm Street franchise, even though he created it, because he sold it WAY BACK in the day (in 1984) when he was a struggling artist. After directing the first film, he sold all rights to Freddy Krueger."

Whether he sold the rights or not, it would be respectful to get his blessing. Especially if they are such horror fans themselves at Platinum.

Brad, just wanted to let you know I'm a supporter of this flick and am really excited to see the final product. I must agree with some of the naysayers on here though on a few points. Please don't do anything to date this film by having popular trends of this decade being part of this script (Unless you were to set it in the 80's, i think such a move would really bring the NOES feel back). Glad to hear the podcasting is gone, but the Guitar Hero bit also needs to go if it is in fact in there. It is already a dying fade. I also do not see Nancy as a goth girl... you can have a character as an outsider and not have her as such an obvious stereotype. Though I must say i am impressed with the casting thus far though (with exception of Kellan Lutz, the dude looks like he's 30 yrs old). You actually managed to round up a group of relative unknowns (to most of the general public) with talent. Also hoping you plan on using the same style house in the film as we all know that the house in the films was a character in and of itself.

I will never quit the hate and I refuse to accept that hack Jackie Earle Haley as the new Freddy Krueger. There is only one Freddy Krueger and his name is Robert Englund. This movie needs to be stopped right now because they are destroying it.

u can bitch & scream all u want myers23, it's happening..lol.

I wanted this movie to be great but the script is really bad.Changing Freddy to child molester and making the glove a gardening tool are a bad idea.Freddy needs to have killed 20 kids in the neighbourhood before his death and thats the purpose of his glove,not hedge trimming.Last chance to change it before you fuck this up real bad.

Wow, I honestly don't care at all for the people who hate the idea of this movie. I think it will be a great dedication to the rest of the franchise. Plus, you can't have a remake with Robert Englund as Freddy, that's absurd. Why not make yet again another sequel? I'm excited for this film in all ways possible. For the fact that many fans of this film will go and see the other movies they either haven't seen or haven't seen in a while. I was impressed with all of the other re-imaginations that Platinum Dunes has done, so I'm sure I'll be just as impressed with this one as well. Haha, I was just thinking... first there was Freddy Vs. Jason... Then there was a comic book Jason Vs. Leatherface... Will we be seeing that anytime soon? That would be god awfully amazing!

hey good luck brad.. i wish i could be there to watch you guys film just to say i was there! hopefully i can find out. hahahaheheheh

Having a remake with Robert Englund is not absurd, Robert Englund is Freddy Krueger, not that wannabe, hack of an actor Jackie Earle Haley. This movie is going to be pure trash and this movie is spitting in the faces of all those involved in making the original and it is spitting in the faces of all those who love the Original Nightmare on Elm Street. All those looking forward to this are in for a huge disappointment because this is not a true Nightmare on Elm Street movie, this has a fake Freddy, Jackie Earle Haley, instead of the real Freddy Krueger, Robert Englund. Jackie Earle Haley is stealing the role of Freddy Kruger from Robert Englund. Only Robert Englund can play Freddy Krueger. This movie is doomed to fail because they are just screwing it up left and right.

I'm just so happy and excited for this movie. I love all the films PD makes. I need to see pics.

brooklynpsycho, do you have any idea how robotic you sound? That paycheck from PD must not be so great if they don't expect you to come up with convincing hype.

Um, whoever said I work for PD? I sure didn't. If it upsets you that I love their films and am excited to see the new NOES, then that's too bad for you.

Gee, that sure didn't take you long to retort. Upset that you love their films? More like baffled that somebody could be this obsessed and desperate that they need to flood the blog with robotic comments like a forum troll. If it upsets you to get called out on your ridiculous blog activity, then it's too bad for you. Think of something more productive to contribute.

So it's ok for someone that hates this film, not even out yet, to flood this blog with robotic comments of hate. Give me a break. I'm the happy one, you're not. Simple as that. So...moving on. Can't wait to see a pic of the new Freddy and a teaser poster. And Nancy's house of course.

I hope they make the poster as memorable as the old ones are.

I strongly agree with birkhill slasher. The glove is an iconic part of horror film history. Please don't change its origin or function. It was the product of his twisted mind which was bent on frightening and killing children. The idea of it being some kind of a gardening tool is totally absurd. I better not even see Freddy anywhere near a garden! The design of the glove doesn't even make sense structurally for such a purpose. Why would you even consider changing him into a “serial molester?” I hope you’re not intending to have Jackie portray him sympathetically as an ill child molesting, gardener who was the victim of vigilante justice. He should be (as Craven said) “the most evil human being imaginable” with absolutely no sympathetic traits. He preys on children because he’s evil incarnate, not because he’s a pervert who’s horney for little boys and then regrets his actions later. I realize that child molesters are evil too but it’s just not the same. How will the boiler room/ abandoned power plant setting fit into this? Is that where he took the kids to rape them? No, it’s where he killed kids with his glove and then burned/hid their bodies. By the way, I’m not trying to hate. I loved your remakes so far. I actually can’t wait for this movie to come out. I just want it to be awesome.

I agree DAKAZA, the glove needs to be there, without it it's not really Freddy. It's like Jason without the machete, and Michael without the butcher knife. Even Leatherface without the chainsaw, well, you get my point.

As for the child molesting thing, not sure how I feel about that yet. Will it make the movie bad or good, who knows. Lets just wait and see.

Brooklynpsycho, that wasn't part of my agrument. They're definitely going to use the glove in the movie.

Oh ok, my bad, I guess I read it wrong. I just thought that you read it somewhere.

I just hope the house looks very similar to the classic one.

The original franchise had varying personalities and unique characters that played off different walks of life. Even the textbook "attractive" teens have dynamic personalities that down-play them as attractive. Most importantly, the original movie doesn't rely on "sexy" to describe any character. Tina, Glen and Nancy are all average, everyday teens that happen to be suffering the same affliction while dealing with individual home issues. Tina's mom is a semi-neglecting divorcee with more attention for her disconcerned boyfriend. Nancy is dealing with parental divorce, an alcoholic mom and an absent father. All of this comes into play when developing both the main characters and the entire overbearing situation. The reboot just has a sexy bitch, her annoying ex-boyfriend, her new douchebag boyfriend, a quiet/weirdo loner, and the quiet/weirdo loner's quiet loner love interest. Additionally, unlike the original, these characters are virtually disconnected from any parental involvement in their development. If Craven was able to create a classic with average, every day teens that can't be described with just a quick stereotyped word (minus Rod for the most part), why can't the reboot do the same? How hard is it for Hollywood mainstream horror to create relatable characters rather than the standard, rich douchebags? A Nightmare On Elm Street is not Friday the 13th. It deserves better in the character department.

How does anyone know for sure that PD hasn't spoke with Wes Craven? In Friday the 13th Sean Cunningham is listed as an Exec. Producer....Texas Chainsaw Massacre, Tobe Hooper is listed as an Exec. Producer. Tell me that isn't a tip of the cap to the originals. The first Nightmare was classic....Parts 2 & 3....great films....after that....not so much. Freddy became a "One-Lining" sideshow. It's not like Robert England can't find work or anything. He admits, he's too old for Freddy. Hell even Wes Craven snuck in a little pun in Scream....joking how the 1st Nightmare was great, but the rest of them sucked.

So RageOfStreets are you saying Johnny Depp isn't a "heart-throb"? And you're pretty much dissing on Friday the 13th's characters? Yes, after Part 4 Friday the 13th got cheesy, but so did Nightmare after Part 3.

Nintendo Power Glove anyone?

CampBlood1980, Wes made a statement that he wasn't approached. As for F13, I'm referring to the remake, not the original franchise. In actuality, the cannon fodder characters in the original franchise were likable compared to the remake. What does Johnny Depp being a heart-throb have anything to do with the characterizations I was talking about? His character is not meant to be the "heart throb" and he didn't become one as an actor until 21 Jump Street. With the exception of Rod, the three leads weren't defined by flat, stereotyped perceptions...especially not the ridiculous stereotypes in this pending remake. All three represented everyday teens.

PLEASE USE THE ORIGINAL THEME MUSIC!

myers23. you are an idiot. for starters robert englund doesnt want to play freddy any more hes too old now. this was what he wanted, for somebody else to come in and do the role. so if you have any problems why dont you go on his website and give him grief because i can assure you no one on this forum gives a $hit what you think. stop crying and repeating yourself over and over.

If Robert Englund is to old to play Freddy Krueger then the series should be ended because no and I mean no one will do Freddy Krueger justice because no one except for Robert Englund can play Freddy Krueger, over 1,360 agree to that fact. This movie is doomed to fail without Robert Englund has Freddy Krueger. I seen that interview with Robert Englund and he never said he was he didn't want to play Freddy, he said he could do it, just that they would have to use CGI or have a stunt double for the action scenes.

"Hell even Wes Craven snuck in a little pun in Scream....joking how the 1st Nightmare was great, but the rest of them sucked." Actually, Kevin Williamson wrote that in the script before Wes Craven even signed on.

Kevin did write it, but remember, Wes was the director. He could have easily changed that line.

He still didn't sneak it in.

Please Keep the scene where Nancy is in her panties, listening to her ipod, dancing, in her room. PLEASE KEEP THAT SCENE!!!

PLATINUM DUNES ONLY MAKES THESE FILMS FOR THE MONEY. Look at their filmography, they're just a remake machine. People say films a business so they should only care about money. But I know plenty of businesses that also care about putting out a quality product. These guys are hacks, posers, wannabes. If they were real filmmakers they'd come up with their own ideas. It takes no talent to steal someone elses ideas and make them worse because you dont understand them. No one is remembered for being talentless and never creating anything original.

Once again, (if you do use the sweater) GET THE SWEATER RIGHT THIS TIME! The original "Freddy" sweater doesn't have stripes on the sleeves.

Ok you guys, enough is enough. crying over whether this movie should or should not be made isn't going to do anything to help it. it's already in production. We can only have a little bit of faith that they do a good job. I'm a huge freddy fan. HUGE! i have his autograph up in my room. I was always hoping they'd do a prequel with robert but they waited far to long and obviously couldn't find a good script. So i guess a remake or reimagining is the next best thing right. If robert doesn't want to do it then fine. Hopefully Jackie will do a great job. I mean look at jack nicholson and heath ledger. I was a little weary about heath not playing the part as the joker very well but he did a better job then jack nicholson. Heath played a DARKER joker, and jack played a silly one. So everyone is saying they want a dark freddy again. lets give this guy a chance. hopefully it will work out. Although i have to say the friday the 13th remake was horribly and hopefully this movie will be better. who knows. lets just be supportive.

I'm glad this is finally getting underway. I don't really hate remakes all that much and I'm really interested to see what can be done to bring Freddy back and hopefully make him scary again. I really liked the Friday the 13th remake a lot (in fact, I like that Jason better than the other Jasons) and I think that, even though I can't really picture what he'll look like at the moment, Jackie Earle Haley was a wise choice to play Freddy. I hope this movie doesn't disappoint. And since it's Nightmare on Elm Street, I doubt it will (for me anyway). Good luck, Platinum Dunes.

This one should be interesting. Sure, I'll wish you guys all the best on this, I hope it turns out terrifying, compelling and interesting. But at this point I haven't been swayed to say it'll be great or awful. Do your very best and we'll see.

Please try to make a good MOVIE. Not just a good "slasher" movie. Thank you.

I think there are gonna remake all the first four films just like they did with friday the 13th.

Saying Robert Englund is the only actor who could play Freddy, is like saying Bela Lugosi is the only actor who could play Dracula. Clearly not the case. It's a classic performance that with live forever. As will Englund's. To dimiss another actor assuming the role is unreasonable.

Actually, they did a remake of F13 Part 4, not the first three, and gutted what made that film good. The script for ANOES reads the same way. It looks like they took Part 4, gutted what made that good...and the rest of the franchise for that matter..and just stuffed it full of base formula. The overbearing molester "mystery" just bogs it down even more. Also, the actor replacing Englund is irrelevant. It's not enough to make a convincing case.

It is clearly the case that Robert Englund is the only actor that can play Freddy Krueger. Freddy Krueger is Robert Englund's role. Jackie Earle Haley will never be Freddy Krueger as will no body else no matter who they are. Robert Englund is the one and only Freddy Krueger. They need to kill this movie right now because they are trashing Freddy Krueger. I hope the real Freddy Krueger Robert Englund shows up in their dreams and gives them some nightmares.

how old r u myers23? grow up bro...i've read this blog from top to bottom just to read ur entries, and u know what i noticed...THEY ALL SAY THE SAME DAMN THING!!!, "Jackie Earl Haley can't play Freddy, 'cause that's Robert Englunds role"...c'mon man

I am old enough to know that Platinum Dunes are destroying this movie and destroying the role of Freddy Krueger by replacing Robert Englund with a no talent hack, Jackie Earle Haley.

remember Jackie earle haley was nominated for best supporting actor.

it would be cool if Nancy's father was the alchoholic because of his guilt surrounding not only his daughter's molestion from freddy, but the other kid's as well with the result of him and her mother getting divorced. who could be dead from a car accident or he must've quit his police job and left town. I mean he is only metioned in one scene of the script.

What is your point? The man is no Robert Englund and the man cannot play Freddy Krueger. Only Robert Englund can play Freddy Krueger because Freddy Krueger is Robert Englund's role. All these people making this movie in Chicago need to have their faces spit on for disgracing a classic. They are ruining this movie. This will never be a true Nightmare on Elm Street film. I hope they experience some bad weather to prevent them from filming anymore. I hope they fall asleep and the real Freddy Krueger Robert Englund shows up in their dreams and terrorizes them for disgracing such a classic movie. They all suck, especially Jackie Earle Haley for stealing Robert Englund's role.

"This reboot will have you wondering if he really was a child molestor, or is he getting his revenge due to false accusations that cost him his life? The original just always assumed he was always evil, but maybe the false accusations MADE him evil." I haven´t read the script but if this is the premise it´s pretty stupid. How do they justify the glove if supposedly he didn´t even molest kids, much less murder them?

Myers23 who the hell are you to try to assume who a "True" Nightmare fan is? Everybody bitching about Freddy being a child molester prob. loved Freddy Vs. Jason....Which at the beginning, in Freddy's interlude, with him licking the picture of the little girl, isn't that something a child molester would do? And who played Freddy in that movie? Wait, it was Robert England! Sooo many people on here act like some bogus script found online is set in stone. Do you really think it's the real deal? Im a doubtin' it!

So damn true CampBlood1980, he did lick that picture of a little girl. Was going to mention that, but you beat me to it. Did anyone complain, nope. It's just contradiction left and right.

Who am I? I seem to be the only guy concerned that they are ruining this classic by replacing Robert Englund with some no talent hack that could never be Freddy Krueger, that being Jackie Earle Haley. Like the last couple of you said who played Freddy Krueger in Freddy vs Jason? Who else, the real Freddy Krueger of course, Robert Englund. New Line didn't let Platinum Dunes mess that one up like they are allowing them to do with this piece of trash. This will never be a true Nightmare on Elm Street film because they are using a fake Freddy Krueger, Jackie Earle Haley, instead of the real Freddy Krueger, Robert Englund. They have stolen Robert Englund's role and given to Jackie Earle Haley.

I agree CMYKid, the entire focus on whether or not Freddy did it is unbelievably ridiculous and just makes the main characters unlikable by default. Nobody wants to sympathize or wonder if he did it. It's baffling that they couldn't come up with something smarter for this reboot.

I haven't read the script but I'm getting really worried. If they portray freddy sympathetically, in any way, they are way off the mark! He must be a purely evil child murderer before being killed. Otherwise, people will be confused as to who to sympathize with and Freddy won't be nearly as scary. Afterall, this is FREDDY KRUEGER we're talking about. We don't want to feel sorry for him. We want to be afraid of him!

If they wanted to do the molestation angle - they could have at least done it with some depth and psychological accuracy. Is nightmare freddy real or just part of a repressed post traumatic disorder from the abuse the kids endured before he was burned alive? That would be a more interesing mystery than did the school gardener penetrate us with his gardening tools or not. They could keep Nancy's character withdrawn and could have made Kris promiscuous as that seems to be the other extreme for survivors. Maybe Kris has some odd fetish to cut herself (or others) while fornicating. Is freddy back or is it a "Nightmare" on "High Tension"? And will Nancy have the strenth to overcome it all? LOL I'm kinda kidding towards the end there but that would probably be better than what they cooked up.

This movie will "make it or break it" for me. Friday the 13th was ok. If you ruin Nightmare on Elm Street many fans will stop going to Platinum Dunes' movies. DONT F IT UP!

They already messed it up by replacing Robert Englund as Freddy Krueger. They stole Robert Englund's role and gave it to a man who will never be Freddy Krueger, Jackie Earle Haley. This movie will suck and it will never be considered a true Nightmare on Elm Street film without the real Freddy Krueger, Robert Englund in it as Freddy Krueger.

jesus ... you sound like a broken record

I agree deepred09 myers23 does sound like a broken record, dude! move on.

I created an account just to leave comments on this page hahaha. So anyways, I've been really excited about this since they first announced it. Ive always liked the NOES movies and pretty much grew up watching them. the first movie scared me a lot but thats probably cause i was really young when i saw it, (yeah my parents were crazy letting me watch that stuff), but i know for a fact that none of the other ones scared me even though i was young when i watched those as well. I love robert englund as freddy but i dont think he can ever be scary as freddy anymore. Wasn't new nightmare supposed to be the return of the "scary" freddy??? that didnt work. i loved the movie but it didnt scare me one bit. and freddy vs jason??? i liked it but i dont get why people are so obsessed with it. id welcome a freddy vs jason 2 but id much rather see a completely new NOES. new movie, new freddy, new teens, im all for it. whats this i keep reading about no glove??? thats one thing i do definatly want, is the glove. oh yeah, and all the posts about 1360 people agreeing that there cant be another freddy???? thats just their opinion, they havent even seen anyone else try. and enough with the whole, "the original had nothing but average teens and the new ones are too pretty.", i know a few of the new kids look like a lot of friends i know so watching them will make it "more real" FOR ME. i think its gonna be a great movie =) but thats just my opinion. thats all.

If you think this movie with that no talent hack of an actor Jackie Earle Haley as Freddy Krueger is going to be great then you are out of your freaking mind. Jackie Earle Haley sucks and he stole Robert Englund's role of Freddy Krueger. Robert Englund will always be the only real Freddy Krueger. They are destroying this movie and by the way I intend to keep posting on here with the same message. This movie will suck and is doomed to fail. They have spit in the faces of all those involved with the Original Nightmare on Elm Street and in all of the true fans of the Original Nightmare On Elm Street.

ive never seen a jackie earle haley movie, actually ive never seen any of the actors' previous work, with the exception of that katie cassidey chick. if it sucks, then it sucks, its not the end of the world, we still have our nightmare dvd collections right? better luck next time for whoever decides to remake a classic. i never expected them to use england in the remake, just like they picked new actors for meyers and jason in their respective movie remakes. i dont have crazy high expectations for any movie these days, but i really think this one will be a pleasant surprise. i think its awesome that you have such a strong opinion about the original series, but thats not what this is, its a new movie. just cause theyre making a movie based on that series isnt gonna ruin the original series for you. it certainly wont for me.

Well this little damage-control stunt to try and appease the unexpected outcry certainly backfired. Now PD looks even worse than it did before, when it tried to get "Fan Support" on IGN.

Dead on salvador. Just like I've mentioned before, this movie will not ruin the original serious. Either you add it to your collection or you don't, simple as that.

I really suspect that the majority of Sam Bayer's excitement is this is his first chance to direct an actual film. Which is worrying. The script is attrocious. It would take a proven master to be able to produce gold from straw. Especially if the straw is soiled. Sam Bayer is just too green for me to trust him.

by ChippedTooth "Well this little damage-control stunt to try and appease the unexpected outcry certainly backfired. Now PD looks even worse than it did before, when it tried to get "Fan Support" on IGN." Well said.

PLEASE BRAD GET RID OF FREDDY AS A CHILD MOLESTER!!!

I passionately agree with magahmon. Freddy was a child killer (the Springwood Slasher) and built the glove for that reason!

...BUT KEEP THE NIGHTMARE THEME...HEHEHE

everyone just stop talking to myers23, that's all he wants...no matter what we say he comes back with the same damn comment every f***in' time.

I have to say that I fully support the casting of Jackie Earle Haley. If you do read these comments, Brad, you and the gang at Platinum Dunes have my full support on this project and every one to come. I haven't seen the series, but will try to rent them very soon. Actually, Brad, do you mind if I make a serious suggestion of a film you could tackle next at Platinum? I would really like to see you do a remake of Basket Case. Keep up the great work on your films and I'll see you in the comments section.

What is Basket Case? I have never heard of that movie?

Oh man, the last two comments are unbelievable. And to think PD takes advice from people here.

Jackie Earle Haley won't be the joking around Freddy that Englund was in the sequels. He will be more like Freddy was in the first; scary. In the first Nightmare, Freddy wasn't the wise cracking killer he was in the sequels. If someone besides Englund played Freddy in the first, you would barely be able to notice. Not trying to dis Robert Englund, by the way. Good luck PD.

Gool luck PD. I believe Haley is a great choice as Freddy. Keep up the good work.

Myers23: I'm a HUGE Robert Englund fan but I have a feeling that Jackie will kick ass. People used to think there could be no other Dracula other than Bela Lugosi. Similarly, Freddy Krueger is a classic horror character that will likely be in the movies much longer than any one actor's lifetime (as long as PD doesn't turn him into a child molester which will turn off the public Brad!). It's time for someone else to put on the glove and Jackie is an honorable choice.

I don't know why people are so worried about this remake- i love the original Nightmare on Elm Street but I think it is going to be nice to see how evil Freddy can be in this one. Hoping Freddy is just sadistic, cruel and jsut plain nasty and I have faith in this one, I love the original Friday the 13th too but the remake for me was perfection, at least Jason was a more developed character and the kills were sweet not to mention the progress of special effects- thanks for posting on this too Brad I think its a rarity that people connect with their fans on this level and at the end of the day we are all here for one reason only- our love of horror movies. Good luck in Chicago guys!

Thanks Jimmy_D_, great comment. I too did love The Friday the 13th remake, reboot, whatever they call it. And am really looking forward to see how evil Freddy turns out to be. A child killer or a child molester, it doesn't really matter to me. He's still going to be Freddy, a sadistic, scary killer.

I have high hopes, so best of luck.

Although I did like how they did with the characters, I just they make them more believeable and sympatheic. Making us auidence care for them.

myers23 said "What is Basket Case? I have never heard of that movie?" Dude are you kidding me? and you call your self a horror fan.

haha, what horror fan doesn't know Basket Case.

So its fine to sacrifice the character development of an entire cast just so we're a little more sympathetic to someone we should be AFRAID of? Geeze, some people will buy into anything the media feeds them, won't they? Anyone who supports this movie needs to go read the script and get a reality check. Or a lobotomy if that hasn't changed their mind. As for the nutcase who suggested Basket Case? Remaking that movie utterly defeats its purpose as a bottom-of-barrel-budget masterpiece. It is a perfect example that high horror doesn't require a high price tag.

ChippedTooth, how do you know that's the actual script? fans have made trailers and posters, what's to stop them from making a bogus script? I won't believe it until someone official says so.

Also while Freddy vs. Jason was being filmed there was a bogus script floating around online.

Know your history. That was an EARLY draft, not a bogus script. With all the news filtering out, this script is legit. All the characters are accounted for, as are locations. One of the schools was specifically choosen for its swimming pool, which was a vital part of the script. So yah, this script is legit. And its piss poor.

As I said, until I hear it from an official, I won't believe it.

well like he said it was an early draft, who knows what theyll change

It's really depressing how much blind faith and denial plagues this blog. Wake up people.

You know RageOFStreets, telling us we're blind and in denial basically says our opinions don't matter, we are all individuals and are entitled to our own opinion, I know not everyone on this forum is keen on the idea of an Elm street reboot, don't shoot us down for being on the positive side of the idea.

hey RageOfStreets, im just curious, what exactly are people in denial about? i do see a lot of blind faith but im confused as to what people would be denying.

uhm... it´s one thing to be positive and another to be totally unrealistic. what your denying is the fact that PD makes shitty remakes and exploits classic horror purely for profit. you´re all entitled to your own opinion... you´re also entitled to be fools if you think this remake will be any better than their previous efforts. and lastly, for those who actually like the PD remakes... there really is no accounting for taste.

taste? since when is horror supposed to be tasteful lol. i have enjoyed the PD remakes so far so i guess i have bad taste. but anyways, like it or not, this remake will probably be their most successful and makes tons of money.

i did say you´re entitled to be a fool, right?

I bet CMYKid liked Freddy's dead and Freddy vs. Jason.

and i bet u have a single digit IQ.

For all of u who keep saying the "clown" Krueger was stupid, Guess what it wasn't. that's what most fans liked about the NOES films. It wasn't like Michael or Jason! Freddy actually had a personality. & so what if he made jokes. That was the best of all! Like welcome to prime time bitch. Freddy had so many good 1 liners. Sad the movie is being remade though. That's all we're seeing nowdays is remakes!! Please can anyone come up with their own good horror movies? I guess you guys are kinda out of movie ideas. & does there have to be so much sex & drug scenes in these remakes? Long live the originals!!

fools are people that get all upset and bitch just because someone is excited about a movie they arent gonna like

actually fools are people who lack the mental capacity to know they are being used.

myers23 has went all quiet ever since being embarrassed about not knowing what basket case is haha. gl with this film PD. cant wait for the next blog entry and hopefully a peak at the new costume

Can't wait to see the new look of the glove.

Does anyone actually think that they will be revamping these characters to make them relatable rather than hateable? The original franchise had varying personalities and unique characters that played off different walks of life. Even the textbook "attractive" teens have dynamic personalities that down-play them as attractive. Most importantly, the original movie doesn't rely on "sexy" to describe any character. Tina, Glen and Nancy are all average, everyday teens that happen to be suffering the same affliction while dealing with individual home issues. Tina's mom is a semi-neglecting divorcee with more attention for her disconcerned boyfriend. Nancy is dealing with parental divorce, an alcoholic mom and an absent father. All of this comes into play when developing both the main characters and the entire overbearing situation. The reboot just has a sexy bitch, her annoying ex-boyfriend, her new douchebag boyfriend, a quiet/weirdo loner, and the quiet/weirdo loner's quiet loner love interest. Additionally, unlike the original, these characters are virtually disconnected from any parental involvement in their development. If Craven was able to create a classic with average, every day teens that can't be described with just a quick stereotyped word (minus Rod for the most part), why can't the reboot do the same? How hard is it to create relatable characters rather than the standard, rich douchebags?

http://www.youtube.com/user/ElmStreetTeaser This is a pretty cool vision of what a new freddy could look like - it has nothing to do with PD. I kind of like the camera they used too - it has a documentary feel to it that makes it more real - think Dancer in the Dark - I'm sure PD's version will be so glossy it will never be actually creepy.

DAMN MAN, i am tired of all the bitchyness about this movie... i just want one thing, i want to see Jackie Earle Haley In Costume!!!, not maby a quarter of you guys would think im mad about it and why, its because three things, i want to see if he shares any equall measures to Robert Englunds look on freddy krueger, i want to see if they kept everything about freddy as freddy (Considering from what rumours im hearing about he's gonna have a "New" look, and that worries me) and not only that but i want to see if JEH can actually hack it as freddy as we all know no one does not like him as Freddy, but if he can bring down to the core...what can i say, i just hope HE keeps the freddy as we all know on the first (Not 2nd not 3rd not 4th) the first one, and if anyone has seen freddy in the first one you will know what i mean, so please, anyone or even PLATINUM DUNES We want pictures of JEH in freddy form ENOUGH WAITING you'r production started 8 days ago does it really take you that long to take a snap shot of JEH as freddy, at least Post Productions pictures shit.

I'm not sure how you expect him to be like Freddy in the first movie, this reboot has nothing to do with the original film short of the glove.

i can see that...but who would not want to see JEH in freddy look, for some, a HUGE laugh, for me, to be sure that they have not changed anything that freddy looks because of a huge rumour, im just curious is all? i mean you can't say that it just makes you think of what he looks like as freddy instead of robert, i want to see it, and i just hope they don't change nothing about it is all

It does not matter whether the re-make is good or bad. We will always have the original series and that will never change.

Actually, it does matter. If you're going to cash in on someone else's success, then it needs to be worth audiences throwing money.

Yes I call myself a horror fan, just you know I catch the actual mainstream horror movies, Friday The 13ths, Halloweens, Nightmare on Elm Streets, Screams, I Know What You Did Last Summer, Child's Play, movies like that. As for being embarrassed, I am not embarrassed, and just because I have not seen one movie does not mean that I am not a horror fan. They are destroying this movie and changing everything that made the original what it was. They replaced Robert Englund as Freddy, they are changing the characters, and they are even changing the story, they are completely messing this movie up. They need to have their faces spit in.

And by the way, the reason I have never heard of Basket Case is because it came out two years before I was born.

that movie was made way before i was bore too and i havent even seen it but i know what it is lol. i dont think it matters that you dont know what it is. just like that maniac movie. i havent seen it, and it looks boring to me. and since thats the case for me, im not gonna spam those movies' boards and talk about how i dont like them. it boggles my mind why people waste their time doing stuff like that.

You're kind of missing the point. There's a difference between spamming an original movie you have no interest in seeing and spamming a cash cow remake of a movie you have fan attachment to. There's a difference. However, while myers23 has the right to be upset, most of his arguments miss the more important detrimental aspects of the remake that even supporters should be able to understand and appreciate whether or not they agree. There's a lot of blind complaining here on both sides of the fence.

you know what i totally agree with you. some of my spamming is cause people are kind of rude to me cause im excited about the project, so of course i feel like responding. whats so wrong about wanting to see how the project shapes up, know what i mean? i realize it MIGHT suck and that i will be soooo disappointed if it does. while the friday remake wasnt SUPER AMAZING or anything i still enjoyed it. my friend works at the movie theater and hooked me up with tickets, on valentines day weekend, thats the movie i chose to watch, and i thought, cool, the movie was exactly what i expected, more of the same, i was never a huge fan of the originals. and yeah i liked the remake. i know the nightmare remake wont be ANYWHERE near the original,it just CANT BE for me. the first movie was something completely new, and scary and just CRAZY to watch. i watched it again recently not too long ago and it gave me goosebumps. i didnt see the hitcher remake, or unborn, or any of that, the TCM remake was good in my opinion, certainly WAY WAY WAY better than any of the tcm sequals. im hoping ill like it, thats all. i dont already love the movie cause of course i havent seen it. im just super excited about it cause the last nightmare movie we got was in like 1994 with new nightmare, i dont count freddy vs jason, i mean, he only really killed ONE person in that, which to me was sooo lame. if they can pull it off ill be happy, if they fuck up, ill be sad. im just not hardcore like a lot of people on the boards, maybe thats why the prospect of a remake just doesnt bother me

Hey everyone, check out some pics at: (http://nightmareonelmstreetfilms.com/forum/viewtopic.php?t =3064) The pool reminds me a lot of the pool in Nightmare 5.

the website said the pics dosen't even exist

http://nightmareonelmstreetfilms.com/blog/

"Professional Remakers." LOL. Busted!

Cool pics brooklynpsycho, thanks for the link.

yeah way cool pics. I can't wait to see the movie pics.

Hey, salvador. The concept of a remake doesn't bother me either, what bothers me is that it's not a remake. Essentially it's just a subpar ripoff cashing in on the title of a previous success. The entire point of a remake is to make improvements on the original. This reboot is the equivalent of a subpar sequel. That's unacceptable and it's nothing to look forward to.

maybe not for you Rage, but maybe for other people.

You might enjoy lazy, throw-away low-end sequel caliber reboots, DunesFan, but not everybody does.

No problem Campblood1980 & jonmcneail. If only I was there, I would take so many pics and share. I really want to see Nancy's house.

IMO i wont go see this peice of trash.. the original is one of my favorite movies and because this company is behind it just means how much of a mess this film/remake is gonna be. I liked the TCM 03, but they seriously fucked up Friday the 13th... these guys cant make original films because they got no real ideas they only go for franchise movies because thats where the big bucks are at these guys arent real horror fans...remaking every horror franchise just shows how creative these guys are. Fuck these guys..be creative and original and make your own horror film for fucks sake..whats next? a remake to childs play?

i WAS WONDERING WHAT THE GLOVE LOOKS LIKE SINCE I CREATE THE GLOVES FROM THE MOVIES I WAS WONDERING WHERE YOU WERE GOING WITH THE GLOVE DESIGN?

I can't wait for another Nightmare. I've been a fan for a very long time and I can't wait to see what you guys bring to the table. Don't worry about the people that love to complain about what you are doing. These people usually complain about everything and anything because they have nothing better to do! To everyone that is upset with England not being in the movie...I have an idea for you...don't see the movie! Hey, problem solved, you won't see a Nightmare without the original Freddy!

What a relief there won't be pod-casting in it, ya know, the least imoportant flaw in this pile of shit re-make. Platinum Dung need to go get an original thought in their puny brains. Michael Bay, you're a disgrace to the horror genre - this is WES CRAVEN'S STORY, HIS CHARACTERS, HIS IDEA!! You shouldn't be touching it with your shit re-makes. You're nothing but a pile of filthy thieves. And the reason people like to tell you that is because it's the truth. You're tainting the original movies names, you don't even have the respect to call it 'Platinum Dunes NOES' - you even steal the fucking names! I don't care who plays Kruguer - it really doesn't matter, I just hope that Robert Englund isn't involved in this shit at all. No cameo, no nothing. It's a complete insult to TRUE fans of the original and the franchise. The shit you guys keep putting out - don't you have any shame at all? What about all the original writers with original scripts? I havn't met one person who isn't pissed off that you're re-making this movie and will be BOYCOTTING it. And they don't even know the shitty script you've got going. Horror genre fans are fed up with re-makes, I hope this flops so fucking bad. I know it'll get slated by the critics - because they slate everything you do, because it's shit. I'm really glad you're reading these posts - but ya know what, I wont be giving you any fuckin feedback on how to make your pile of shit rip-off a better movie. Make your pile of shit. I'm sure plenty of idiots will go and see it, some nice enough to give it a chance - but most of them will HATE IT. Mostly, because it'll probably be shit and deserve the hate, but secondly because you've stolen a real artists work and are making money from it. The original Nightmare became SO huge because ppl loved it, fans spread the word and it became huge. Your pile of shit will be a success for a lousy two minutes in the box office, everyone will say they wasted their money and it'll be forgotten. Jackie will look back on it with shame probably - I just hope you all know that true horror fans despise the very blood in your stealing, cheating body. Hopefully though, when you see the box office responce - it'll be YOU that wakes up screaming, or better still - maybe you wont wake up at all.

Can you also, all stop advising these asholes to steal more things from the original movie!!! "Use the original score" "use the original sweater" - let them make their shitty re-make. Why would you want to help them make it better??? That's what they want you to do - why do you think they leaked the script? And another thing, Heath Ledger was a fantastic actor, but no FUCKING way was he better in the role of the Joker than Jack was. They have destroyed the Batman movies by making them dark, violent and completley different to the graphic novels. Jack played the Joker as he IS - The Joker isn't some moron who shoots people, he uses sick gadgets. His mouth wasn't slashed! He was dropped into chemicals so he had a false smile. Jack played THE JOKER. Heath Ledger played some warped, "lets try and make it dark and gritty" version- the only reason Hollywood and everyone else makes out it's so fantastic is because Ledger tragically died, plus that has no baring on Freddy. Fred Krueger was created in film by Robert Englund and Wes Craven, he was never in literature, comic books, or film before hand, which makes him, a complete stand alone horror character. He was created by Robert Englunds performance. Period. The entire point of his character is that he mocks his victims, the dark humour IS Freddy - taking it away makes him another boring killer. Plus, Wes Craven was not happy with the line in 'Scream' which was written by Kevin Williamson - he found it amusing and left it in. Dream Warriors is a brilliant film, as is Wes Cravens New Nightmare, so the line is incorrect anyway. Hopefully when Kevin and Wes come out with the next Scream trilogy, they'll be taking the fucking piss out of these arseholes and there theft of every original horror classic going that they can get their greedy hands on. If they want a re-boot as they keep claiming then why are they stealing names, death scenes and lines from the original movie?? Plus, there is no doubt this movie WILL suck, because it's a pale imitation of a classic, it steals f'ing scenes and lines! Plus, look at all these guys other movies, not that you can call them theirs, because they're all based on other ppl's ideas and storylines - they've all sucked ass. They've all been gory, contained stupid, boring characters and tarts who get their kit off for a bit of attention. They're even using pictures to promote "their" movie from NOES3 - they're fuckin disgusting. Brad Fuller is full of evil money grabbing shit - the lot of them just want to make a quick buck. A lot of directors have re-made a movie, they havn't made a career of re-makes, because there is no artistic integrity by doing that. They won't take chances on original material from original writers, why not? That's how you make a successful and admirable name for yourself in Hollywood. I have never hated and despised strangers as much as I do these people, their hearts must be made of stone. Hopefully they'll lose something they've loved and cared for in the movie industry, then they'll know how it feels. BOYCOTT THIS RE-MAKE! SPREAD THE WORD TO EVERYONE AND TELL THEM ABOUT THEIR THEFT OF CRAVEN'S WORK. Wes Craven might have sold the rights, but New Line, have ALWAYS in the past gone to him out of RESPECT because he created the damn thing and asked his views, if he wanted to direct, write or produce etc. Which shows you, that these bastards have said they don't want him involved, just as they did with Robert Englund. Brooklynpsycho - you obviously have no morals whatsoever if you think that how PD are treating Wes is correct. BOYCOTT THIS MOVIE. STOP PD BEFORE THEY RE-MAKE f'ing gone with the wind, Cassablanca and literally every horror they can get the rights to. They're just greedy evil thieves!

WES CRAVEN'S NIGHTMARE OVER RE-MAKE: UK, June 9, 2009 - Wes Craven isn't happy about the forthcoming Nightmare on Elm Street remake. IGN spoke to the horror legend -- who directed the original movie -- and he revealed that he has had "no contact" with Platinum Dunes about the project, and that he feels genuinely "hurt" by what's happened. He said: "Yes it does hurt, it does because its such an important film for me that, unfortunately, when I signed the original contract I gave up all rights to it and so there's nothing I can do about it. I was much happier with Last House on the Left that I could kind of shepherd it towards production and we found a really wonderful director." Craven went on: "I don't even know who's doing it and I'm not interested. It's actually really painful to think about it. It's the film of mine that I probably love the most, and which made the most money. The script went around Hollywood for three years and nobody touched it and I went through all my life savings and everything else to pay for it, so I had to make the deal I did. Frankly, at that time I thought it would be one movie and that's it. I never thought it would go on and on and on."

Mr.Fuller, I read where freddy is going to look like a real burn victim. is he going to look something like "Cropsy" from "The Burning"? now,HE looked scary!!!

* The following is reguarding the potential awesomeness of the Friday sequel, I know this was a posting on Freddy but im trying to put this message in alot of your guys' blog postings in hopes it will be read... Hey guys, i wrote already about how using some kind of storyline involving Jason's FATHER is a golden idea, one it's never done before in any of the 12 films... I ALSO thought of another great idea involving Jason's FATHER, and that is this: Ive noticed Jason isnt just "kinda retarded" he's obviously mangled in the face, but this too is also never explained and I think the PERFECT tied together explanation is that Jason's Father ELIAS is the one responsible for Jason's mangled face, because it's OBVIOUS Pamela Voorhees loved Jason too much to ever mangle his face in anyway, so how did it become so? Drowning isnt gonna cut away your face and make it look blistery like in the latest Jason, I liked the latest one, I honestly dont know why so many people complained, everybody wanted Jason to go back to crystal lake, you guys did that, everybody wanted to see young Jason and Pamela, you guys did that too, I can see how you guys really try your best to please the fans more than people appreciate. with that being said, from a huge fan of the franchise and im not against ANY of the 12 films in the franchise, they are all simply slasher films with fun, Id watch a Jason movie over the shitty Saw films anyday. So...to sum it up guys... For the Friday the 13th Sequel consider these ideas: *Include Jason's FATHER in this film some how some way for some reason, my suggested reason is to use a storyline explaining that his father Elias Voorhees was the one responsible for mangling his son Jason's face. *ALSO consider using the idea that perhaps Elias was actually having sex with a counseler while Jason "drowned" or "almost drowned" and that would be a pretty cool revelation as well. I just think there's got to be more to the mangled face idea because there's no reason or logical explanation ever really given. The original films kind of made Jason more grotesque with each film so it was a growing process, but in this remake/reboot he's already mangled as hell...but why? He wasnt mangled when he saw his mom killed just a bit inbred looking, you could even use something wacky like Elias was really like Pamela's brother or cousin to explain the retardation...but that storyline might not be too excepted well. but im just offering my two cents as a fan of this franchise. YOu could also easily insert some kind of idea mentioning that Elias was with the counseler and got caught but fled leaving the girl to defend for herself, and since Pamela is decapitated she never had a chance to go after him next, and so Elias disappeared for years and now has returned (for some reason youd have to make up) to crystal lake either to Help or Kill his boy. *And, although this following was NOT my idea, but from a user who posted it on here somewhere I saw a while back and their idea, which is awesome, is to actually do something involving snow for a damn change, I think it would be quite creepy to see Jason standing there as it is snowing and we pan in slowly all the way up into his eyes waht a awesome creepy moment that would be, but that doesnt mean it has to all take place in snow as I know the dick users are gonna be closed minded on that one, but most certainly it could be considered in the opening of the film and really catch people off guard with interest. I hope you guys consider my thoughts above, and this all was written specifically for Platinum Dunes to read and consider these ideas, I didnt write these for the users because there's always gonna be 1/4 who are closed minded dicks who get mad when they dont get their ba-ba. So, Brad and Andrew...if you guys like the suggestions above and want me to shell out more good ideas for a script writer to use, feel free to send me a message on here. im full of good ideas, im not educated in films at all but Ive certainly seen more movies than I probably should in my life, so I know a good idea because I have a pretty good idea of what ideas have been done or not done and what might be cool to do, to offer something a little extra for this special "13th" Friday the 13th sequel!!
