Like the original it has a pretty unknown cast and will be very loosely based on the original movie with name changes and by the looks of it a very diff rent looking cast
Previous actors such as Robert Englund (Krueger) and Heather Langenkamp (Nancy) will now be played by Jackie Earle Haley and Rooney Mara who for some reason has been renamed Nancy Holbrook instead of Nancy Thompson.....pointless name change in my opinion...change is overrated,especially when it comes to remakes of already brilliant movies
The original was written and directed by Wes Craven who had previously directed Last house on the left (1972) and The hills have eyes (1977) both of which have gone on to be remade,Craven also dircted a few other movies in this time.
NOW
New line cinema have chosen Samuel Bayer to direct the remake,Bayer has previously had a successful career in directing music videos and promotional videos for the american government....hopefully he will do this movie justice as most of the videos he has directed have been for bands and artists such as greenday and marylin manson
Hopefully the movie will be as good as the last few nightmares
my personal favourite was the comedy horror 3D extravaganza FREDDYS DEAD!It came out the year i was born (1991) and is brilliant!
Part of me wants him to keep coming back and ruining teenagers lives but also part of me wants the story to end somewhere so as not to milk the nightmare on elm st franchise and just turn it into a complete farce like they did with JASON X! (fail)
So yeah......I'm looking forward to watching this baby!
