Finally – Teaser Trailer For A Nightmare On Elm Street
Published on September 28, 2009 by Craig Sharp · View Comments
The first trailer has now been released for Platinum Dunes’ and New Line Cinema’s remake of iconic horror – A Nightmare on Elm Street, starring Rooney Mara, Kyle Gallner, Katie Cassidy, Thomas Dekker, Kellan Lutz and Jackie Earle Haley as Freddy Krueger.
The new trailer demonstrates how close director Samuel Bayer has opted to stay to the source material, with classic scenes such as Nancy in the bathtub and the “ceiling drag” appearing to be almost a carbon copy of the original. Also included in the new trailer are a look at Freddy pre-burn and post-burn.
Freddy is also sporting new makeup for his scarring, which can just about be made out in the screencap below. Without a proper head-on look I can’t be certain, but judging from the pic below I’m not too keen on the new look at this point.
Oh well, despite the makeup change, the trailer is pretty good, and further shows that this remake has thrown all the cheesy cliches out of the window in favour of a darker, more sinister atmosphere.
A Nightmare on Elm Street hits UK theatres in Spring 2010, check out the Freddy screen cap and trailer below:

I think this looks great… anything with Kellen Lutz gets a thumbs up from me! But… I'm not keen on the new make-up either :S

This is so shit.
Why remake a film that is perfect to begin with?

While I'm a massive fan of the original Nightmare, it's far from perfect. Also it's worth bearing in mind that asking “why” every time a remake is announced has sadly become a moot point – the “why” is money. Plain and simple.

Yeah, It's a shame and I hate to admit it but it's the dollars that convince big shot producers to greenlight remakes.
