Ahhhh its Freddy!!!
*2010 Freddy Krueger above*
So we have all heard about the remake of "A Nightmare on Elm Street" that comes out April 30th but what comparison does it really have to the original? I don't know about anyone else but "Friday the 13th" and "Halloween" was not to my horror movie taste. Although Rob Zombie's vision of "Halloween" has the widest release of any Halloween film it didn't stop movie attendance from dropping 72% in its second week of show. With such a young, sexy cast of one hit wonders starring in both films what was really expected?... Sex...check! Nudity...check! Dying while naked and having sex...CHECK! There was more focus on boobs then there was on the serial killers...but hey people have to make there money somehow.
But that is neither here nor there. Lets get down to the basics. Who will be playing the new Freddy? Jackie Earle Haley? You mean Rorschach from "Watchmen"?!...hmmm that's interesting. I think I might have just got a little excited about this film. It seems that I'm not the only person who sees this as a plus against all odds. Robert Englund himself (the original Freddy), after seeing Haley's casting film from "Watchmen", he agreed with the casting of Haley for the part. So what about the role previously played by Johnny Depp (Glen Lantz) in the 1984 film, is the new cast-ee worthy? Ive read rumors that there have been some role switches so Depp's character might be replaced by a character with a different name and different role? The main character now known as Nancy Halbrook (2010) instead of Nancy Thompson (1984) has also been another change in the remake of character and role.
SN: Kellan Lutz aka Emmett Cullen will be playing Dean...just to let Twilight fans know.
Well heres the argument on many of the movies official blogs...is this for the "slasher movie" fans or are movie studios running out of ideas? What do you think? Comments welcomed :]
Tired of Freddy already!
