Interested in how everything is coming along on the set of the new film remake of ‘A Nightmare on Elm Street’? I have to say as much as I was against this remake when I first heard about it, I am starting to warm up to the idea and give it chance. There are two things that I like about this movie:
- They are going more in depth with the back story of Freddy Krueger and how he was a child molester. Freddy’s Teen victims are not just being punished for his death that is brought on by the victims parents, but these are the kids that told on him in the first place.

- I also liked that Jackie Earl Haley was cast as Freddy Krueger. If anyone can pull it off he can.
The director of the film Brad Fuller who was a music video director prior to this movie gave an update on his blog about the first shooting day with Jackie Earl Haley as 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.
I really am looking forward see what he looks like. There is a little bit of excitement building to know that Freddy Krueger is coming back to life. For me to accept this movie though it has toi be better than the original. If it does that hen it was worth it. If it ends up being like the ‘Texas Chainsaw Massacre’ or ‘Friday the 13th’ then it has failed. What are you hoping to see from this movie?

This looks amazing. I mean, normally I'm hesitant to accept a remake of a movie, especially one that I love so much, but I think that Jackie Earle Haley will be brilliant as Freddy. can't wait to see how this will turn out,.
I like where they are going with it…more dark, more horror….thats what we wants
lol. your comments are pretty awesome
I can't WAIT.
The fact they're going to make Freddy scary again has made me ridiculously happy. The whole idea of Freddy Krueger is terrifying – not safe even in your dreams, how scary is that? I can't wait to see what Jackie Earle Haley does with the role.
I REALLY DON'T LIKE REMAKE'S BUT SINCE FREDDY IS COMING BACK….OMG!!! AS A CHILD I CAN REMEMBER ALL OF THE NIGHTMARE'S I HAD THANKS TO FREDDY. FORGET ABOUT JASON BORGES…THIS IS THE REAL FREDDY MOVIE I HAVE BEEN WAITING FOR ALL OF MY LIFE…AND I'M SORRY I'M WRITING EVERYTHING IN CAPITOL LETTER'S BUT I HAVE MUSIC PLAYING REALLY LOUD SO ITS KINDA HARD TO HEAR……
making freddy scary again is needed, but these days new directors think scary means gory. they haven't a fuckin' clue. and the back story…i mean that takes away some of the mystique. like when alice cooper played freddy's dad. maybe flashbacks, but the story should concentrate on the kids of elm street and the horror of a demon who can kill you in your dreams. not the freddy krueger show. the fear and horror comes from being the one in the water with the shark, not being the shark. and i'm a huge nightmare on elm street fan. they're probably going to try and horrify us by showing him more with children before he dies, killing them to go into his back story. i wish i could write this thing. haley can't save a shit script. if it's anything like the one i read online, holy fuck.
My GOD. I can't say I was exactly excited when I first heard there was going to be a remake of NOES, but jeez am I being proven wrong. Jackie Earle Haley as Freddy? FUCK. YES. And if he's scaring the shit out of the director when they're not even filming, well….
However, I agree with Headphones. Hopefully it's not 90% gore and 10% crap. Recent horror movies are absolute shit compared to the "classics". Still, can't wait till it comes out.
