    Producer Talks More "Nightmare on Elm Street" Remake

    Producer Brad Fuller has been talking to sites like IGN and Fango recently, revealing various little tidbits on the film. They've got the script and hope to begin filming sometime in May, but of course they still need to attach a director.

    Fuller was quoted saying they are looking for a "visual director who can blow people away." He then added, "seamless transitions are the key, where the audience truly has no idea if it's a dream or not until it's too late you realize you've been duped for the last 30, 40, 90 seconds and the person's been dreaming the whole time."

    Fuller also hinted that they may change Freddy's backstory a bit, "the concept of the original A Nightmare on Elm Street wouldn't work. The concept of the movie is the kids discovering what happened, and the kids paying the price for their parent's sins. What we're struggling with is how we have his crimes in a way where the kids can't just type in 'Freddy Krueger' [into Google] and come up with his arrest record."

    As far as casting Freddy goes, Fuller reveals that Robert Englund is apparently not interested in reprising his role, but if he did they would consider it, "it’s a discussion we’ve had. We’d have to talk further about it."

    One of the biggest issues right now is who is right for the role, saying, "there are amazing actors out there who we would love to have in the role. I don’t think you want someone in the part where people can’t see Freddy. You have to have somebody who is so good that they can become Freddy, or someone nobody’s heard of who can really pull off that character."

    I agree why they dropped the prequel idea is beyond me. FVJ 2 wouldn't have been a bad choice either. They are only doing a remake because the other remakes have been so successful for Platinum Dunes.

    Yes this really can be bad, I think they need to take their time and come up with a much bigger vision.

    Woah, woah, woah....what the hell are these guys talking about? They should like shit-for-brain producers who've never seen A Nightmare on Elm Street. Changing Freddy's backstory? Freddy not being a child killer? What is it with these guys, they need to give horror movies bigger balls not cut them off!

    And I didn't understand what they were talking about the google thing...

    Wow...I apologize, but I mean wow...

    I'll watch it but I won't like it. How about some originality? Is that too much to ask from these douchebag writers who are pounding away at the keyboard hashing out one terrible remake after another? we have not a had a big horror movie release that wasn't a sequel to an established franchise or a rewrite of a foreign film for years now (With the exception of Mirrors).

    First Blog on UHM

    What a relief it is to hear that Robert Englund is considering not doing it. That's a shocker. I'm glad New Line asked him to reprise the role and he turned them down. I'd much rather have him choose not to do it then New Line just not offering it to him.

    I heard they were considering Billy Bob Thorton. To me that would be perfect casting BUT I'd rather them pick an unknown actor who would be willing to come back for the sequels.

    As for the Nancy Thompson that's a challenge. It seems to me that all horror movies these days have characters that you don't really care about. In the Massacre remake, both of them for that matter, did anybody really care if the teenagers were killed off? I didn't.

    Now back to Freddy. I want the Freddy that Wes Craven created. No jokes or wise cracks. I wan't a Freddy that gets pleasure out of fear/torture and a glove that looks like it could be made in a boiler room. No long shiny blades. I want semi rusty razor sharp knives.

    There's a reason he was voted one of the scariest horror movies villains of all time. Hopefully they'll get him back to that.

    Robert Knepper is the only person who would be perfect for the role but he has already stated that he doesn't want to play scumbag villains anymore. Playing T-Bag on Prison Break has gotten him sneers in real life because he's such a despicable character. He doesn't want to be type-casted.

    Thornton would be a good choice if they want star power, or Knepper if they want to go with a relatively unknown actor. I would be O.K. with either but again, enough with the remakes already!

    Part of the first movie was that the kids only knew of Freddy through the nursery rhyme.

    I believe even Freddy vs Jason had a scene in which the kids used the Internet to research their villains.

    If the story of Fred Krueger is a matter of public record in the remake then Nancy in 2009 only needs to flip open her cell phone, type "FREDDY MURDERER SPRINGWOOD" as a text message to 46645 -- and get all the information she needs.

    Rewriting the back story will probably require forcing the original events underground. No botched trial, no official records, and next to no information to go by.

    It does make sense.

    I'm not coming out in support of the remake -- or in disgust, even. The Nightmare on Elm Street movies and Fred Krueger in general are a large reason for my love of horror. I really can't stand the idea of Billy Bob as Freddy, either. If it is going to be done, then I at least like seeing signs that it may be done correctly.

    dont forget about it all depends on who will direct the movie. hopefully some no name actors to. they will fuck it up just like every other remake that has come out.

    Enough with Remakes???

    First off I'd just like to say that I'm not exactly Pro-Remake BUT..

    The last horror movie I enjoyed was My Bloody Valentine 3D and to be honest I don't think anybody will be packing the theatres to see 'The Unwanted'. Consider the horror movies in recent years. With the exception of Jigsaw in the first 2 saw movies no horror movie character has shown any longevity and even those movies were just gore porn.

    I had a friend that considered movies made in the late 90s as OLD movies. WTF? Remakes are a good way to start fresh and introduce a whole new audience to a classic character.

    Speaking of 'The Unwanted' the studios really need to come up with some better titles. How many movies have come out with the word 'The' (Insert word here) as the title. The Unwanted, The Unborn, The Messengers, The Eye.. Ugh

    Nobody can portray Freddy like Englund. Maybe New Line can talk him into doing it.

    Thanks for answering my question. And yeah, originality is officially dead in many places of the film world now and it can't be bought up anymore, unless we had GOOD MOVIE LOVERS taking those higherups' places in the chairs and we can get guys who care a bit about profit but would care more about a film to be a good picture. And Freddy is one of my biggest horror idols that also got me into horror movies in the first place, and I'd just hate for a remake to be made because we all know it's just going to over-exaggerate everything and it's going to think it'll be better than the original Nightmare, I would've paid to see a prequel.
