Platinum Dunes Finally Onboard 'Nightmare on Elm Street'

All summer while Platinum Dunes was out promoting their remake of FRIDAY THE 13TH, word spread like wildfire that they had yet to be brought on to produce New Line Cinema's remake of A NIGHTMARE ON ELM STREET. SpookyDan just got off the phone with Dunes Producer Brad Fuller who explains that they are now finally involved. " We ARE doing the movie," Full tells Bloody-Disgusting. "We just closed the studio deal and we want to be filming by summer 2009. The script is being worked on now. We just came onto it so we are still figuring out what to do with the story." Watch for more on this as it comes in.

I know everyones gonna ***** and groin about this, but i think this is gonna be freaking sweet. They're gonna make freddy scary like they've done with Leatherface and Jason. and now Freddy!

I'm excited as you can tell.t:

Platinum Dunes is going to continue its working relationship with Warner Bros. and New Line for A Nightmare on Elm Street.
Since Comic-Con in July, it was unknown whether producers Michael Bay, Brad Fuller and Andrew Form were going to be involved in the reboot of the Freddy Krueger franchise. But today, Fuller and Form confirmed to ShockTillYouDrop.com that their deal is done. "It's our next movie," confirmed Form, "hopefully shooting this spring."
Over the summer, Wesley Strick (Cape Fear) was attached to pen the script which is intended to re-imagine the dream-hopping teen killer. "It's like what we're doing to Friday the 13th," says Fuller. "It's not Freddy cracking jokes. We want to make a horrifying movie. The concept is so scary, don't fall asleep or you'll die. This guy gets you when you're most vulnerable, in your sleep. We love that. That's the basis of the movie. It'll be most similar to the first one but in terms of kills and dreams we'll borrow from the entire series."
Fuller adds that Warner Bros.' positive response to Friday the 13th was very helpful in getting Nightmare off the ground. Test screenings for Jason Voorhees' latest outing have been great.
Addressing the great, incessant question: Will Robert Englund be back? Fuller and Form say they're seeking someone new to don the hat and red 'n green sweater, but they're hopeful Englund will be back for a part in the film.

I was wondering since the remake is a go, can we make a seperate thread for that? And just keep all other freddy stuff in there and just post stuff on the remake in this thread. Being casting, interviews,pics and eventually trailers?

If not that's cool. But if i mod will let me i'd maintain it myself with all the updates. Even not just delete then. Just trying to keep stuff organized for now

This is not good news for the Elm Street franchise.

[Spider-ManHero12]

^^ Yeah, I read that last night. It's all just starting to become BS, IMO.

 

[HighFivingMF]

And Ninja Turtles.

 

[Jackasscoley15]

Can't really say I care. We've got like what, 9 movies now? That's enough to feed my Freddy fix, so I'm good for now.

 

[SHADOWBAT69]

I just think that there is still more stories that can be told for this reimagining. Hell, I would be happy with a comic book series. Characters like Freddy and Jason are immortal. Im sure sooner or later there will be another movie. Im just hoping sooner.

 

[Nightmare]

I thought they were gonna do 3 movies atleast.

New Line only cares about pg-13 horror now? :

 

[Lunar_Wolf]

The Apatow Crew is back...Oh wait, **** you thread manager.

 

[Nightmare]

haha i saw that too, TAC posted today?! Then I noticed "banned user"

I never get tired of Freddy , it would of been cool to see where they went with sequel territory. My guess is they will wait a few years and try to bring it back some other way.

 

[Alchemyst]

I'm not really bothered by it, I wasn't too fond of the remake. It would probably be a good idea for them to take a hiatus on it and then come back with something fresh and new.

 

[GoblinWhirlwind]

Dammit, I was really hoping for a sequel to be in the epic 2012 lineup. They really need to get someone else on it.

 

[Eelectro 2]

this and friday the 13th need sequels. i loved both, i never liked the originals. the new ones and i felt like they had a better hold on the story and i prefer the way they were shot and presented instead of the 80s style.

besides that, i'd really only care for one more of each, i dont want a franchise like before, but one more each for me would be enjoyable to see where they take the new takes on the characters.

im a fan of the texas chainsaw remakes as well as rob zombies halloween movies. the 2nd halloween i only like because i made my own cut with the unrated being the preferred cut until the end, the theatrical ending was far more interesting.

but no boobs. im tired of the forced sex scenes in these films. i prefer quality over corny

 

[Eelectro 2]

i have a question for anybody that might know. in the special features for this film they showed a lot of scenes of something that obviously was filmed where freddy didnt have his hat and was cloaked and it looked like it could have been creepy. clearly a dream but i just didnt kno if it was ever explained that this was an alternate scene for somebody in the film or if it was simply just cut out. i relaly thought this film was going to have an unrated cut, maybe in the future?

 

[SHADOWBAT69]

That scene was supposed to be in a church with Quintin.

 

[Ipodman]

I didn't like the Friday the 13 remake, but I liked the ANOES remake, Jackie Earle Hayley was an awesome Freddy, sad to see that the sequel is dead... maybe some other studio wants to pick it up? (Like Terminator)

 

[steintym]

I liked both remakes and was hoping for more. I wish they'd sell the rights off to someone willing to go somewhere with these franchises (assuming there is someone).

 

[chamber-music]

So Rooney Mara has said recently she never wanted her role in the remake

In an interview with Entertainment Weekly she explains that she didn't want the role, and even tried to sabotage her chances.

"You kind of learn to self-sabotage with thing you don't want to get," she tells the magazine. "Sometimes you don't want to get something but you do a really good job and you get in anyway. That's kind of [what happened] with A Nightmare on Elm Street-I didn't even really want it. And then I went in [to audition] and I was like, [whispering] "F---. I definitely got that."

 

[bullets]

I understand her viewpoint but that was incredibly unprofessional. I read the director is difficult to work with and that might of attributed towards her attitude. It's still a disservice to anyone who worked hard on the film or tried to get an audition. It also might be a case of her not appreciating what she has because of her privileged background.

 

[kickass]

No one even knew who she was until Nightmare came along. I would like to believe it was Nightmare that got her Social Network, which in turn got her Dragon Tattoo.

I don't care for this lady anywho.

 

[CelticPredator]

All I know is, this movie molested me, and I tried to forget it, but now since it's back up, the horrible memories are pooring in.

And I think Roony Roomy Maray whatever is a horrible actress. Maybe she's better in Dragon Tattoo...but my god, she was awful.

as unoriginal and boring as this remake was.. dont even compare it to the horrid failure the friday was... i literally couldnt watch the whole film it was that bad, it made the previous horrible movies look oscar worthy lol
i put it up there with Dragonball Evolution of movies that shouldnt be considered movies.

 

[bullets]

I think she's a dull actress but hopefully I'll be surprised with TGWTDT


Also I enjoyed the remake , mainly because I love watching Freddy kill people.

 

[Project862006]

reviews say she is great not to mention she is working with malick next
