Thinking of joining the Springwood Police Department...
2:05pm, May 18, 2009

So last night was one that I won't forget. We've been shooting in Chicago for two weeks and I've got some great stories to tell, but last night was the first time we filmed Freddy - the first time that we saw Jackie with all his wardrobe and make-up.

It was insane.

Jackie is playing to role with incredible intensity. His Freddy doesn't tell jokes, he is simply terrifying. His make-up is so awesome - obviously there will be elements that you all know so well, but there have been advances in make-up and he truly looks like a burn victim.

It is challenging to have a normal conversation with him because he looks so scary. And if that's not enough, he talks with his hands a lot and at one point he pointed to me with the glove and it was terrifying.

Today we are shooting in a prison. It's not my first time in a prison, but fortunately every time I've been in one it is because we are shooting there. It's always weird though.

The picture you see below is of one of our Springwood police cars and was taken on Friday night when we were shooting a scene when a couple police cars converge on a house.

More later.

Cool! The picture looks like the police photo of Friday the 13th.

CampBlood1980 4:32pm, May 18, 2009

Thanks for pic Brad, it is just like the 1st Friday pic he posted.

CornStalker515 4:57pm, May 18, 2009

Great news Brad..now all we need is a picture of Freddy himself!! hint hint ;)

OBrien18 6:05pm, May 18, 2009

I'm really excited to see Thomas in this movie. Keep bringing us news from the set:]

keenan2009 8:28pm, May 18, 2009

SWEET btw thank you form the bottom of my horror heart for remaking this movie just please do it well i been a fan since the 1st movie

gerantgerant 12:00am, May 19, 2009

I love being able to drop in on this blog and see the production coming along. Thanks for keeping us all in the loop. CAN'T WAIT TO FINALLY SEE OUR NEW FREDDY!

Dunes Fan 12:37am, May 19, 2009

I agree with Cornstalker, we need to see a pic of Freddy, even if it's just a small part(not to give him away) that would be great.

Bloodcitydemon 3:18am, May 19, 2009

As long as Freddy is horrifying I'm glad..hope you guys make a great film on par with or better than the Friday the 13th remake (which I loved)!

deanbarry 4:20am, May 19, 2009

Can't wait to see Freddy all done up. Hope we get a pic soon Brad. Thankyou for all the great flicks too man. I know you guys cop some flack for your reimaginings. But most of us really appreciate seeing these beloved characters revitalised and updated for a new generation. I'm an old school horror guy. I grew up watching the fridays, nightmares and massacres on good old VHS. Just keep treating the characters with love and respect...and I'll be there.

brooklynpsycho 9:04am, May 19, 2009

I'm so damn excited, it's driving me crazy. Love the pic. You guys ROCK!

Iliveonelmstreet 9:12am, May 19, 2009

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(mr.haley as well) 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 12 Novels 2 video game's countless dolls,comic book's and action figures,countless song's based on it(rap,and rock),as of 2008 the films alone made $52 Million..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(by the way please dont let freddy just be a molester that takes away from the mystic of him) that was killed by angry parents and returned in their children's 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,she was down to the wire and didnt have a choice but to face freddy.see what I'm saying? freddy knew what he was doing when he killed her friends 1st and left her last,he could have easily killed her in the school dream,the tub dream,any of them but 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 thriving off of his mommy,he's not like leatherface needing to be lead by the sheriff,he's not like michael an empty soul looking or his lil sis Those killer's were turned evil by chance,or lead by someone freddy is and always has been pure evil incarnate,wes craven said that he meant for freddy to be seen as the most evil human to walk earth...do you get that?? how big that is?? the most evil human on earth??..over hitler dahmer,gein,gacy,ramirez,etc,so there can be no question in this movie about that!! ..God how I wish I could be there with you to give you a true to life fans take on what your doing..But I'm behind you guys 100% I want this to succeed more then anything.you guys are talented and I know that you can crank out a legend,so good luck fellas..dont let us down.When my kids,kids,kids see this..give them something to still have nightmare's about Sincerly,Darrell Steele

zigystardust83 1:41pm, May 19, 2009

I really love this blog and you keeping us updated but at the same time not telling us to much. PLEASE DON'T SHOW US FREDDY!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! It's the only surprise worth waiting for i don't want to see what he looks like at least not until the movie. This is a way that you can make sure you earn bucks for your work. If you show freddy then it will ruin the surprise.

magnaderalpha 2:00pm, May 19, 2009

Wow, that pics from Friday night? You must have awesome lighting techs, cause it looks like the freakin DAY! LOL!

the birkhill slasher 2:48pm, May 19, 2009

Wow, so much ass kissing going on i feel sick. Never mind the fact the script is fucked. Freddy is no longer "The Springwood Slasher", he's a kiddie fiddler. His glove is no longer an ingenious weapon of death, its the worst gardening tool ever. The Elm Street parents werent vigilanties, they just set him on fire BY MISTAKE. There's a map of the dream world ? Really awsome.Cant wait.Really.

disanti 3:17pm, May 19, 2009

Hahaha, that's pretty funny that you took the same "1st pic" as Friday. Other than that, I'll reserve my comments for when some news pops up. Get back to work!

turtlenipple 4:04pm, May 19, 2009

I'm pretty excited for this, Jackie is THE BEST pick possible by far and I'm so happy he made the cut. Like you said, there really isn't a working name that would work better. People are naysaying the script yet he's saying that its changing and gets better everyday..? leave the dude alone and make a movie of your own, write a script of your own, its hard work. Anyway, it sounds fuckin' excellent and I can't wait to see a NOES with some amazing make-up and dream sequences.

ttop33 4:13pm, May 19, 2009

Platinum Dunes are talentless leaches. Their filmography tells all about what these fcks are doing in hollywood. Leaching off other peoples originality and talent. Isn't it funny that with a perfect story and characters they still manage to make crappy films. Maybe it's because they don't give a fck about the originals. They hire a cheap writer, a flashy director, some cw actors and hope for a trailer to con in the masses. These guys make Ed Wood look like James Cameron.

CMYKid 4:30pm, May 19, 2009

Does SAME LAME ASS PIC = SAME LAME ASS MOVIE? You do the math.

MyBlueNovember 4:44pm, May 19, 2009

I am very excited to see what Freddy looks like now!

Freddy_onElmSt 5:17pm, May 19, 2009

TTOP33 is a troll, don't pay attention to his pathetic ass. TTOP33 U ARE A FUCKING TROLL, SO FUCK OFF. anyways I can't wait for this movie. That police car looks amazing

Freddy_onElmSt 5:17pm, May 19, 2009

I know what scene they are shooting with the police car I bet...JESSE'S ESCAPE SCENE AFTER KRISTEN'S DEATH.

Freddy_onElmSt 5:20pm, May 19, 2009

The Jail scene is with Jesse(THOMAS DEKKER). I can't wait for this movie, it is going to be EPIC.

Deathbat 5:30pm, May 19, 2009

I really believe this is going to be a damn good movie. I have issues with the fact you stole Thomas Dekker from the con I was at earlier this year though but I'll get over it. I am really psyched though, really intrigued by what you've done with Freddy. It'll be nice to see him being scary again, not just a lame joke.

No Heart 6:08pm, May 19, 2009

If anyone can pull-off Freddy, it's Jackie Earl Haley. I just really, really hope Platinum Dunes starts pumping SOME of this remake money into developing original scripts.

DJ Kos 6:50pm, May 19, 2009

Not showing us Freddy till the movie would be great! That would be great to be surprised in the theatre. I am a huge fan of the first Elm Street and its one of my favorite movies of all time. I sure hope you guys can pull this off. If anyone can do it, you can Brad. BTW, if you happen to need a on screen dj for any part of the movie I would be willing to pay for all my expenses and come and do it. Sounds crazy but its just an idea. Here is my website in case you wanted to see what I look like. www.djkos.com I can tell you that I have done crazy things in my years of djing. One being lighting my record on fire with a Michael Myers mask on. I actually have pictures of me spinning with a freddy mask and glove on. LOL Anyway, keep us up to date as I will be waiting for an update everyday if thats possible for your crew to do. Can not wait for this movie!!!!!!!!!!!

ANTiSocial 6:54pm, May 19, 2009

Oh, Jesus. Deja vu. At least release a pic of something as little as Brad wearing Freddy's hat! I don't mean to speak for everyone, but I don't think people want to see you guys leaning against a cop car. No offense.

jasonlives1986 8:01pm, May 19, 2009

little deja vu with the pic, but there was nothing wrong with the way freddy looked, if the new freddy looks like a real burnt victim then he will look almost human, which isnt what freddy should look like. but ill wait until i see what he does look like before i complain about it for real.

LukeGenton 8:37pm, May 19, 2009

I was curious if anyone knows when this shoot will be wrapped? I'm going to be in Chicago in August

Freddyisking 10:01pm, May 19, 2009

Oh this brings back memories of when you gave us that same pic for F13 and that seemed so far away. I imagine the next pic we get in the blog will be a teasing pic of the glove the same way you guys did the mask for Friday. Anyway, this lifelong Freddy fan is anxiously waiting. And just to keep hope alive, please, PLEASE, incorporate Charles Bernstein's original Nightmare theme.

Spymunk 2:09am, May 20, 2009

DON'T SHOW PICTURES OF FREDDY! Brad, seriously - I can't stress enough that you've GOT TO KEEP FREDDY A SECRET until the movie. He's a nightmare creature - keep him that way. Make the audience wonder what the HELL he is.

rusted31 2:15am, May 20, 2009

Big fucking deal a police car !!! A car does not make a good film. Cant believe people are excited about this cause of one lame photo of a fucking police car. I'll start getting excited when we are shown some real photos

Freddy_onElmSt 3:13am, May 20, 2009

uhhh the police car is kinda of a big deal because its big in the big CHASE scene with Jesse. They probably filming Jesse's chase scene after Kristen is killed by Freddy.

ANTiSocial 3:24am, May 20, 2009

I couldn't agree with you more, Spymunk. DO NOT SHOW US PICS OF FREDDY!

brooklynpsycho 8:21am, May 20, 2009

I also want to be surprised.

RageOfStreets 9:33am, May 20, 2009

I'm going to agree with rusted31. It's a car. Also, the blog entry sounds like a completely generalized robotic statement.

TheMadMime 9:55am, May 20, 2009

No jokes? You and your crew obviously don't "get" Freddy. Also, changing his makeup to look more burn-victim-esque. Ever seen The Burning? While Tom Savini made it work in that movie, if Freddy wanders around being "scary" without eyelids and skin melted together on his face, I will laugh my ass off. Seriously. Freddy wasn't a mere "burn victim". He is, essentially, a ghost. But of course, the important thing for this movie is podcasts and all things hip and trendy. Hurry and finish this, so we can all forget about it and move on. I am sure there are plenty of other classics out there that you guys can screw up. I don't know how you guys sleep at night, I really don't. Oh, that's right... on huge piles of cash. My bad.

gore nut 10:03am, May 20, 2009

im with most other people! showing us freddy would be a bit of a spoiler but holy fuck dude i cant wait! we need a teaser!

TheMadMime 10:15am, May 20, 2009

And seriously... the glove as a gardening tool? WHY DO YOU NEED TO EXPLAIN EVERYTHING? Why couldn't have just built it because he's demented and wanted a unique weapon to kill with? Let me guess, when you guys remake Saw five years down the road, you'll try to say that Jigsaw designed the puppet as a present for his wife...oh wait, I guess they already did that. Can't wait to see what flashy silliness Platinum Dunes comes up with for the inevitable Saw remake, though. Still a shame about Rosemary's Baby falling through. Guess you guys couldn't figure out how to fit the crane for all the swooping shots into the set of a tiny apartment.

DevilNeverCry81 11:06am, May 20, 2009

I'll say it again... Don't hold back the way you guys did on the "F13" remake. IMO the best remake you guys have done was the "TCM" remake since it was well paced, had good kills, and had a lot of action. "F13" while entertaining, lacked some sort of passion and merely played like a KidzBop version of "Jason's Greatest Hits". With the advent of the internet and sites like Xtube, we can get our dose of tits online. I'd gladly sacrifice seeing several racks in a film if it will allow for more inventive and brutal kills. Please go all out with this movie and make the fans proud. If it's as good as even "A Nightmare on Elm Street 4: The Dream Master", then you guys will be successful. But if it's all tame and watered down, forget about it. Bring it all the way this time or leave the remakes alone. Also, for the F13 sequel, let's at least try for brutality on the level of parts 2,3, and 4. Nothing in the remake even topped Andy getting split in half while walking on his hands in part 3. If you are going to crib from the deaths of the past, at least take some good ones.

Jimmy_D_ 12:09pm, May 20, 2009

Brilliant I really cannot wait for this movie I think it could be the best thing Platinum Dunes has ever done and to everyone bitching about remakes I just think it is great that these movie's are being released to a new audience, a new generation. I hate these pretentious horror fans that blast every remake that has ever been made, well we all can't share your artistic, superior outlook but in my opinion it is nice that a whole new younger generation will get to see Freddy Krueger and it is from these remakes that the new batch of horror fans will manifest, that will be influenced to go out and see the originals and make a contribution to the horror community so I just want to say cheers Platinum Dunes, keep up the great work and don't let the arrogance of the minority bother you, if you know it alls are so great, step up and show us what you can offer the world of horror with your blazing originality...or else sit behind your computer and critique everyone else for being excited about a great movie...that's constructive...best of luck with the movie guys!

DevilNeverCry81 12:36pm, May 20, 2009

There are people who outright hate ANY remake, and then there are people like me who think that if you aren't going to fucking BRING IT, don't bother. F13 was tame as fuck. Sorry, it could have been retitled "10 ways to repetitively kill people with a machete". It was just lacking any sort of excitement. And the finale was already done in "Wrong Turn 2". Not that I can write a better script, but damn, the deaths left so much to be desired. Wade's death could have been more brutal. Amanda could have actually burned up instead of looking like she was scalded. A screwdriver should also never be used as a weapon ever. Bree should have been flung out the window Final Chapter style. And Trent should have gotten a fate worse than what happened. Also, if they were killing off Jenna, make it memorable so people can actually give a fuck. I know I never thought I'd see the day that I'd be referencing "I Know What You Did Last Summer" but when Sarah Michelle Gellar died after going through a lot, you felt bad for her. Jenna died so quick it was like oh ok. So my problem isn't remakes. It's the lack of any sort of shot of adrenaline to make them better. You can't make them scary, but you can make inventive kills and chase sequences. I just want to see these folks go ALL OUT... You are remaking Freddy, do it well. Don't be tame.

Francisco 7:44am, May 21, 2009

hello, mies before, good job in this remake, with the task to please all fans will be guaranteed at all! I hope! I am a achitect and Interior Designer, you can see my work in www.franciscoplacido.com How can I work with a team of scenarios for your movies? i always love the ambient works of your movies, very very very good photography! a hug and "Sweet dreams" ;) Francisco Plácido

when will we get a picture of freddy? cant wait to see it.

brooklynpsycho 11:48am, May 21, 2009

Connie Britton is the latest cast member. Maybe Nancy's mother, not sure.

Jason2009 5:49pm, May 21, 2009

That police car looks WAY to stylized (the font).It looks liek a car from Transformers or something. Look at the police cars from Friday 2009 and Halloween 2007 and H2 2009. They look way better than this one. At least more fitting for a Horror movie. This police car looks like its from Metropolis. Sometimes keeping it simple is the better way to go. Hope they didnt go overboard like that on the Freddy makeup and outfit.

Freddyisking 11:44pm, May 21, 2009

megalodonbite 3:47pm, May 22, 2009

Brad, thank you for listening to us and making Freddy what we all want, as you are one of the few that actually listens to fans. No jokes, no clowns... a simply terrifying Freddy is what is going to make this film a true success. Although this may piss others off, I think you should refrain from showing us any pictures of Freddy before the film and keep it a surprise. It will be one more thing to keep in suspense and blow us all away. Keep up the good work as you always do!

massdeath 2:25pm, May 23, 2009

Nice symmetry with the photo.

HorrorFan10 9:51pm, May 23, 2009

This remake is truly exciting for me. Freddy was a character I truly feared growing up in the 80's. This remake makes me a bit nervous because to recreate the original classic and go more depth with it, it truly has to seem as though it's realistic and convincing. Other horror remakes in my opinion never lived up to the originals, although the Chainsaw remakes were very good. I truly hope everyone involved in this remake of Nightmare on Elm Street understands the importance of making it convincing and as real as possible...it will be the only way to win over past, present, and future Nightmare fans.

Dunes Fan 3:51am, May 25, 2009

would anybody by any chance know when "The Last House On The Left (2009)" is coming out on DVD?..just asking.

and/or if it's coming out on Blu-Ray?

...i really wanna see the new freddy..but at tha same time i dont i wanna be shocked when i see the film....if you do show us...have him in the shadows so u cant see his face that must just a little bit..god i cant wait for this film!

TheDuke24 11:45am, June 2, 2009

I think its great what you guys are doing and I cant wait for this film. I've been a Krueger fan since the 1st time I watched the 1st Nightmare and pissed my pants while sleeping. I woke up and knew I love this sick bastard. I read a couple of character reviews and Jackie is great for the film but I have a few ideas I think you guys should put on him. Freddy was a child murderer right? And he stalked his prey after death and before it. I saw that you guys have a scene where he's chasing kids around with a garden tool. Thats cool but you should make him more sedistic. Make him sniff bike seats and smell the kids hair and things like that. It give Freddy more of a sick edge rather than him just chasing the kids around. Another thing don't show a pic of him just yet, build the suspense around seeing Freddy, make us want more and more each time we check back with you guys to know the progress of the film. Back to the scene with the kids, as part of chasing them around make him seem as if he's got an erection from the thoughts of killing off kids or making them suffer. Freddy in the past was a sick S.O.B but lets make our new Freddy an even worse sick bastard by giving him more edge. The past Freddy had good punch lines and he joked alot...we shouldnt take to much swagger away from the character but I think Jackie might make it look really good. No jokes or punchlines could scare the crap out of people...make people think twice about messin with Freddy this time around. The less he communicates the better he'll kill people off. No monologue is good for Freddy but still he has to have some swagger just not a jokey joke kinda thing anymore thats Robert Englund's Freddy and Rob is and always will be the original KING FREDDY no doubt about it. I'm hoping the best for this film...I'm praying it makes people shut the hell up and then reply after the movie: "Oh my GOD these guys freakin rock for making this film the greatest film of 2010". Keep it coming guys and don't let people's words stear you guys from recreating a horro legend and remember unlike Mike, Chuck, Jason, Leather Face, Hell Raiser and every one else Freddy had a reason to become a sick son of a bitch...He was more real life than those guys...way more real life than those guys and he can never ever die...He's like bacteria and roaches they can only pass away if you nuke the entire world.

TheDuke24 11:54am, June 2, 2009

And another thing...The glove isn't a garden tool for all of you who think that. The Dunes aren't stupid they know what makes Freddy Freddy. That glove is apart of Freddy the garden tool is only for the scene when he's chasing kids not the entire movie. Why in the blue hell would they make a movie such as this remake and have the king of slashing walk around killing off teens with a got damn garden tool? Whoever thinks he's gonna go the whole film with a garden tool...Freakin idiots man I swear.

ttop33 9:08pm, June 2, 2009

Talentless fcks cant come up with their own ideas because they aren't creative or good filmmakers so they take good movies and remake them into something crappier because they cant understand the underlying concepts of horror or basically anything. Well except how to make a quick buck off someone elses talent.

marunde666 4:13pm, June 3, 2009

From reading the script, it is disappointing that Quinn's death is not the iconic geyser of blood as in the original film. It seems the best and most memoriable scenes from the original ANOES are missing. many of these changes are equivalent to taking Jesus out of the Last Supper or changing the Mona Lisa to a painting of a man. I hope someone at PD is actually reading these posts!

ANTiSocial 12:06am, June 9, 2009

Hey, Duke, it IS a gardening tool. And, Marunde, apparently Brad Fuller "reads everything", but he doesn't give a shit. I agree with you Marunde.

Platinum Dunes Fan! 1:38am, June 17, 2009

I love all the films produced by Platinum Dunes… all these classic horror films are revised with crisp production quality. It seems as though most people complain simply to provoke. Freddy Krueger was my all time favorite horror character and I can’t wait to see him updated – when you bring fear back into the Freddy name. I do respect Wes Craven (knowing that Freddy Krueger is his most beloved creation). His movies were by far the best… he brought “A Nightmare on Elm Street” to life Keep up the great work Brad Fuller. Looking forward to seeing new pictures.

the nightmare franchise is in my mind the greatest movie franchise in history and no matter what people think im glad they are remaking it i miss seeing freddy i own all of the films and you can only watch them a few times before they get boring so a new look on freddy is perfect so what robert englund aint in it he is a great actor and in my eyes the only person who should play freddy but u dnt see me moaning tht he dint get the part hes too old now and anyway its a remake so its only right to get a new actor otherwize it would be a sequel and i cnt stand another campy sequel i mean come on who was scared of freddy in 4 onwards i laugthed wats so scary about a guy who makes u laugth people grow up if u dnt like the new take on it go watch the old movies go learn it word for word i dnt care i dnt have time for people who bitch about the new movie just because rob aint in it or they changed it its a remake there not gonna do the complete same film wats the point i like the fact there changing it and yh the unborn ws shit n friday could have been better but tcm was amasing so i trust these guys and if they screw up which is likely after seeing the script at least they have brought scary freddy back

Update Brad??

froog 11:51am, June 21, 2009

theres not much updates happening pd

Bill2 5:10pm, June 21, 2009

I'm a little late, but thank you for this update, Brad. I wish you and everyone the best. And, real quickly, I mentioned that you could possibly do a remake of Basket Case, and one person on here called me a nutcase for suggesting that. I just want to say to that person: Thanks for that. It was just an innocent suggestion. Don't get excited. Another one of your upcoming projects that I am really quite looking forward to is your remake of The Birds. I had suspisions that a remake was eventually going to be made, and I'm happy to see it finally coming to fruition.

Iliveonelmstreet 10:42am, June 22, 2009

I understand about keeping some stuff under wraps but you guy's are going to far,no new's,no interview's no new pics,no set report's,and in a few week's you guy's will jump on here and say that you were to busy focusing on trying to make a great movie and didn't have time to do anything else BUT I believe you can hire people to update the fan's on the process of the movie...we are losing interest here guy's!! damn throw us a freakin bone!! give us something 2 get us excited about this movie,a picture of the glove,the sweater,a victim,the dream world,a pic of freddy'd nostril! SHIT GIVE ME SOMETHING to throw in the hater's face and atleast give me some faith that this movie is going to be awesome.....you couldn't keep your ass's from telling us what was going on with jason's big ass!!(no offense 2 jason lover's Im a fan of mr.vorhees as well)...now I'm a huge fan of you guy's but if rob zombie had this movie it would be news and posters and shit everyday..now granted freddy krueger would have been some white trash trailer park hick who said fuck every minute and Sheri Moon Zombie would probably be nancy we still would have some new's!!...now come on guy's give ur fans what we want and need..u forget final destination is coming out the same day and they are updating left and right!!...who is in charge of marketing for this flick?!

Dunes Fan 6:09pm, June 22, 2009

I THINK IT'S TIME FOR SOME NEW INFO ON THE MOVIE!!!

chip85 9:11pm, June 22, 2009

Have a feeling they are not going to update until comic con, WHICH SUX, cant believe all we have is a picture of a cop car and all the other pics are from people who have been lucky enough to be at the sets. They are doing a better job updating us then the people who are actually making the movie. Least Jackie was a little considerate and gave us a teaser on his twitter page

Deidara Tonks 12:48am, June 23, 2009

Hi Brad! I'm a huge fan of Fred Kruger, I'm following the shots... I such a HUGE fan, that I'm brazilian, and I'm intending to go to USA just to follow closely the shots... and I was wondering if you guys will be filming it still in July, and if you are, where will you be filming it? PLEASE, if you can answer me, I'd be very thankful.

gerantgerant 11:26pm, June 24, 2009

What's been going on??? Update please!

froog 6:17pm, June 26, 2009

so much for keeping us posted on here, what happening? us hardcore fans need some more info on this movie

Dunes Fan 6:22pm, June 28, 2009

SERIOUSLY...C'MON GUYS..LOL...NEED THE INFO.

chip85 9:14pm, June 28, 2009

may as well give up coming to this site, they obviously dont care so why should we

Iliveonelmstreet 10:20am, June 29, 2009

They are honestly about to lose a LONG time fan here.Every time I look at all the info and updates and teaser's from Halloween 2,Final destination,etc I ge pissed because here we are stuck with nothing but a lousy pic of 2 guys leaning against a car..How could they not think enough of the fan's to at least keep us posted on something we have invested alot of time and money into over the years something that has played a major part of our live's...I feel like a family member/Loved one is in the hospital,In surgery and were not allowed to go back and see how the doctor's our fixing and working on her and no nurses or dr's or anyone is coming out and updating us on what is going with out precious family member who we love so much!!..DONT DO THIS US!! HAVE MORE RESPECT!!..I actually take up for you guy's and this movie and this is how you repay me??..

Bill2 11:27pm, June 29, 2009

Just be patient. To say that they don't care is really untrue and clearly not the case. If you're doing a film and going through filming, editing, makeup, cinematography, night shoots, etc., do you think you'd have time to update frequently? To say that you're never going to come back to the site is very immature. Moving on, I've found this interview with Robert Englund where he discusses the casting of Jackie and how he feels about the remake: http://www.fearnet.com/news/b15904_exclusive_rob ert_englund_on_jackie.html I like Robert's attitude. Whereas Wes Craven is very upset about the remake of this film (mostly because the filmmakers chose to not have him involved), Jackie is very supportive of the casting of Jackie and of Michael Bay. And I agree; you can obviously do things now that Wes could not have done, due to the advent of CG. I'm supporting the filmakers 100%.

Bill2 11:30pm, June 29, 2009

Oh, curse my fast fingers. I meant to say that Robert is supportive of the casting of Jackie and of Michael Bay.

Dunes Fan 2:05am, July 4, 2009

The Last House On The Left (2009) is coming out on Blu-Ray August 18th...and The Texas Chainsaw Massacre (2003) is coming to Blu-Ray September 8th...i'm getting pretty excited..lol.

francesco 6:07am, July 4, 2009

i still want F13th part 2! and yes..killers cut is far better than the theatrical ones.

Bill2 6:33am, July 4, 2009

It's been confirmed by the site (Bloody Disgusting) that Jackie is contracted for three films, the remake and two sequels.

Dunes Fan 7:06pm, July 4, 2009

that's pretty sweet...i'm pretty sure that F13th part 2 is not coming until 2011, that's what i saw. have any of u seen the H2 poster, it's pretty sweet.

ttop33 7:12pm, July 4, 2009

Ok I'm a fan of the original movies. But when I look at my DVD rack I don't say "These films suck I can do better." Isn't it interesting that all of their remakes suck and aren't as good as the originals. These people Brad Fuller, Bay, are talentless hacks. They aren't creative, they aren't't artists, they are looking for a quick buck. I wish beating the hell out of people was legal because these pussies need a good beating. To think that a studio exists to remake films is disturbing. They have no ideas of their own, they have no talent, and they're films wont be remembered.

voorhees213 9:05pm, July 6, 2009

Be patient. PD will do Freddy right. I just watched the killer cut of F13, and all I can say is "wow". It really is THAT good. Better than the theatrical version by a country mile. Fredheads relax, all will be well when ANOES gets released.

Dunes Fan 2:53am, July 8, 2009

here's a question for u guy's (totaly off topic..lol.) who do u think would win between Jason & Leatherface (now this question popped into my head only because these two films were made in the same place)

Dunes Fan 2:56am, July 8, 2009

lets see...Chainsaw-weilding fat-ass or machete-happy psycho (don't get me wrong i love both of these characters, i'm just making conversation)

Dunes Fan 2:58am, July 8, 2009

better yet, which of these two do u think is more hardcore?

voorhees213 5:22pm, July 8, 2009

I answer Jason to both questions!

Protecious 4:33am, July 9, 2009

Hey Brad & Andrew, here is the BEST possible idea for the "Friday the 13th" sequel...this is something that for some reason has NEVER even been touched yet with the franchise and that's the possibility of introducing Jason's FATHER "ELIAS VOORHEES" and here's why it's a good idea to do... First off as I mentioned this has NEVER been tapped into so really the field is wideeeeee open for ideas, you can have him either actually aiding Jason by dropping off supplies now and then OR you can have him be a character who helps the victims in the film, either way I really want to see this idea brought to life there is only so much you can do at Crystal Lake and this is something NOT YET DONE in 12 Friday the 13th Films. Seeing as how the sequel will make it officially the 13th Friday film I think it should be really special and this idea is special (IF DONE RIGHT!)

Dunes Fan 10:32pm, July 9, 2009

just out of curiosity "Protecious", what kind of supplies would he be dropping off?

jerryolsson 2:26pm, July 10, 2009

Wonder when the teaser trailer comes?

Dunes Fan 4:19pm, July 10, 2009

i give it another couple of months "Jerryolsson" (maybe October, just guessing)...or maybe we could see it in the previews before "Halloween 2"

Platinum Dunes Fan! 12:35am, July 11, 2009

Just watched The Unborn in Blu-Ray and found the movie to be extremely entertaining. Watching it alone in the dark was awesome, I had chills throughout the entire movie. Very well done, as are all your movies... can't wait to see A Nightmare on Elm Street.

Platinum Dunes Fan! 12:59am, July 11, 2009

It's amazing when I read these comments that suggest Michael Bay, Andrew Form and Brad Fuller have no talent... it's beyond me to imagine that as so. When you follow the many sequels that spawned from each horror franchise, you'll find that Platinum Dunes can't be touched. In all cases their movies redefine that which we grew up with... giving us more depth to the field of horror.

GCk 6:35am, July 11, 2009

come on brad we need an update, us freddyacs ( freddy maniacs) need something new to throw in the faces of people who are trying to get us to boycot this film. looking forward to april 16th gonna be awesome hope the trailer is released soon

Protecious 10:12pm, July 11, 2009

* 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!! Ken (Protecious)

I know I'm a little late to the blog but as a mid-30's Nightmare fan, this remake is disgusting. You know, there seems to be a rash of these recently and I'm sure it has everything to do with catching the current generation of teens who will watch anything as long gore is involved. I'm willing to bet there will be no heart and soul to this film, unlike the original. It's nothing more than taking someone's art and rearranging it because you couldn't come up with your own. The original is a great film and shouldn't be ripped off my modern day copycats who care only about the dollar sign and care nothing about creativity. Why not just make a sequel? I know why, the kids wouldn't cram the seats like they will a remake. This is a disturbing trend in cinema. Reboots are OK if they are handled with care (Star Trek) or if the franchise had nowhere to go up to begin with (Friday the 13th) but the original Nightmare had substance and style and more than anything, it was creative. Don't even get me going on not casting Englund and not having Craven involved. It's a shame that this movie was made. It's even a bigger shame that it will - even though I hope not - make some profit. I'm sure the filmakers are patting themselves on the back for ripping off Craven and his vision while calling it theirs. I pray this film fails.

knightmare82 11:40pm, October 17, 2009

TO THE PRDUCERS OF a NIGHTMARE ON ELM STREET: im happy your remakeing this film. I like robert England but this is a remake and I want to actualy be freeked out! I like how skinny he is. I like the fact that he was not only a child murderer but a child molester. its creepy and makes hime more of a souless monster to me. hes not supos to tell jokes, even Wes Craven was pissed that thay started making Freddy tell stuped jokes. a small sick joke that is in no way funny but terrifing is ok but those old one went too far! and to the directors(( DONT SHOW FREDDY)) its vitel.. like the dark kniht movie, people are gonna pre judge and complain about him not dancing around like a jack ass and smiling wearing a DR'S SUIT OR A FOOT BALL SHIRT. lol ONE QUESTION...I HERD THE SCRIPT IS GOING TO MAKE Krueger out to be a victom....and the parents didnt mean to kill freddy just smoke him out..?? is this true?? please say no!! OTHERWISE FORGET THE CRAP TALKERS. YOUR MAKEING A MOVIE not them I LOVED WHAT WAS DONE WITH JASON IN Friday the 13th. PERFECT. NOW SHOW WHAT I HAD IN MY HEAD OF FREDDY AS I WATCHED THE FIRST 3 FILM 7 YEARS AGO WHEN I SMOKED WEED. IMAGINING WHAT IT COULD BE IF THAY STRIPED AWAY ALL THE CRAP A STUCK TO WHO THE CHRICTER REALY WAS MENT TO BE.this is a guy who know whats in your underwear drawr, this is a guy who knows what your afraid of, this is a guy who will exsploit all thos things in a sick way.

knightmare82 11:46pm, October 17, 2009

rember how people CRY BABIED OVER JACKNICKELSON NOT BEING THE JOKER IN THE DARK KNIGHT? AND HOW HEATH COULD NEVER PULL IT OFF? mark my words JEH's going to do something special with Freddy.
