Behind The Scenes Clip Offers More Footage From A Nightmare On Elm Street

If you’ve purchased Warner Home Video’s The Final Destination and you live in the States, then you’ll be treated to a lot more than you bargained for! Included in the package is an exclusive behind the scenes look at what is arguably this year’s most anticipated horror release – the remake of A Nightmare on Elm Street!

Including footage that seems to be from the San Diego Comic Con, and interviews with Jackie Earle Haley (Freddie Krueger) and Platinum Dunes producer Brad Fuller, it’s a quick but interesting watch for horror fans. Check it out in all it’s gory glory below, courtesy of an Elm Street fan on YouTube:

Freddy Krueger returns in “A Nightmare on Elm Street,” a contemporary re-imagining of the horror classic. A group of suburban teenagers share one common bond: they are all being stalked by Freddy Krueger, a horribly disfigured killer who haunts them in their dreams. As long as they stay awake, they can protect one another…but when they sleep, there is no escape.

Donning Freddy’s trademark fedora, red-and-green striped sweater, and four-bladed glove is Academy Award nominee Jackie Earle Haley (”Little Children,” “Watchmen”). The film is being directed by award-winning music video and commercial director Samuel Bayer (Nirvana’s “Smells Like Teen Spirit,” Green Day’s “Boulevard of Broken Dreams”), marking his feature film debut.The teens who are terrorized by Freddy Krueger are played by an ensemble of young actors, including Kyle Gallner (”The Haunting in Connecticut”), Katie Cassidy (”Taken,” TV’s “Supernatural”), Rooney Mara (”Urban Legend: Bloody Mary”), Thomas Dekker (”Terminator: The Sarah Conner Chronicles”), and Kellan Lutz (”Twilight,” upcoming “The Twilight Saga: New Moon”). The supporting cast also includes veteran character actor Clancy Brown (”The Shawshank Redemption,” “Highlander”) and Connie Britton (”Friday Night Lights”).

Also, I’m not entirely sure if the same footage will be appearing on the UK and Aussie DVD’s as I would never part with the cash to buy such crap, but if anyone can let us know that’d be cool.
