Elm Street remake - the new Freddy?

[AcesandEights]

If anyone is just dying to see the trailer for this NOES remake....I've just seen that it will be attached to Zombieland next week. As if anyone here needed more of a reason to see a movie called Zombieland.... Good to know, though! You'd best believe I'll be there, NOES trailer or not.

Here's the trailer..... I've never been a huge fan of the original, but it's enjoyable. That said....I think this looks like it could be pretty cool. and I still love the casting of Haley...

I wanted to see more of Freddy in the trailer, to be honest ... but I do like the inclusion of the origin. We only hear about it in the original movie, so seeing it should be cool - hopefully it's not just something tacked on before the title (but I bet it is though). It needs a longer analysis I think. Not a huge fan of the original films by any means, but 1 and 3 were awesome. 2 was alright ... but 4 through 6 were terrible (especially 6) and 7 was okay at the end, but it took so long to get anywhere I couldn't be arsed. I'm still annoyed by all these goddamn remakes though, there's no need, and they take advantage of horror fans who'll simply keep seeing these horror movies - we're like zombies in that way. I mean seriously, how many surpass the original, and how many are actually worthwhile in the end?

looks like a NOE flick to me, and before it got bullshit too, should be pretty good.

THis looks kick ass, but something tells me it will have that TCM 2003 and other Michael Bay flare all over it.

If you pause it at 1:55 can see his face now, be'otches.

It does actually look pretty good. Just because it's a remake I'm not going to shit all over it....yet. I wanna judge it on it's own merits and forget there ever was an original. Comparing remakes to the original more often than not taints the the popular opinion of the remake and even if it does suck, it doesn't get a fair analysis because of that.

I mean seriously, how many surpass the original, and how many are actually worthwhile in the end? I heard there was this great remake of Dawn of the Dead, oscar winning dark noir character study with black comedy and plenty of scares... I heard that....then the whispering stopped and I woke up with a wet gym sock on my stomach.

THis looks kick ass, but something tells me it will have that TCM 2003 and other Michael Bay flare all over it. I was thinking the exact same thing - speaking of which, on the Platinum Dunes blog a while ago there was a picture of a cop car in a dark, creepy setting with two dudes standing by it (the writers, or something, producers maybe, I duno) ... and then right at the bottom of the blog in one of the later posts for Friday 13th 2009, there was a picture of a cop car in a dark, creepy setting with two dudes standing by it (the writers, or something, producers maybe, I duno) ...

I was kinda excited to hear that haley was gonna be krueger, but after seeing that. . . well. . he looks like a frog. I dunno. We shall see wont we.

[kortick]

They missed the chance to cast the ULTIMATE Freddy. See what happens when u wait.

Looks utter gash to me. Phwew. I was beginning to think I was the only one who thought this looked like garbage. It looks like there's going to be far too much Krueger and he also looks CGI'd/like shit. I know he looks more like a burn victim, but in the original he was not only a burn victim but also returning from hell, which gave him an exaggerated monster-like look. Also, he was most certainly a child murderer in the original series. Here, however, it seems they're going to portray him as someone whom was wrongfully accused/murdered... so he's coming back for revenge by actually murdering teenagers? I don't think that's very logical, in the revenge sense. Who knows, though, I'll try giving the trailer another few views when I'm in better moods.

Has anyone read a rumor about this movie having a PG-13 rating?
