Nightmare on Elm Street remake doesnt look terrible
Since it’s crazy slow around the gossip world today, I thought I’d show this totally jacked new trailer from the remake of Nightmare on Elm Street. I think I heard they were remaking this junk at some point last year, but I didn’t really pay attention to it. Anyway, the film comes out in April, and they just put out a longer theatrical trailer a few days ago. I have to admit something… this doesn’t look terrible. Yes, it looks very derivative of the old ones, and yes, some of the shots look totally unoriginal, but the remake has one very good thing going for it: Jackie Earle Haley is the new Freddy Krueger. And he’s f-cking terrifying.
Ever since I finally sat down and watch Haley’s Oscar-nominated performance in Little Children, I’ve been one of his biggest fans. As a former child star who had left Hollywood with a whimper rather than a bang, Haley made the most of his return to Hollywood, taking a series of supporting parts, like his part in the recent hit Shutter Island, or his brilliant turn in the ensemble Watchmen (where he played Rorschach, and you barely saw his face). I’ve seen Haley interviewed, and he comes across as one of the nicest, most soft-spoken men you’d ever want to meet. But put him in front a camera with a script that calls for “creepy” and Haley does it better than nearly anyone else.
So, basically, I’m kind of hoping this remake is a big hit, just so Haley will have some steady paychecks and better career longevity.
Oh, and Kellan Lutz is in too. Now that is a seriously creepy dude. He’s like Scott Disick… serial killer eyes.
