Erik just sent me this trailer for the new remake of A Nightmare on Elm Street (out in April). Call me crazy or does this look like it might be good?! Granted there’s no Wes Craven and no Robert Englund, but still…

[sarcasm]It’s being produced by Michael Bay. How could it not be good?[/sarcasm]
I’m trying to manage my expectations. Bay’s name is definitely keeping me in check. But gosh darn it, the trailer looks decent.
It does look good, but it also looks like almost a straight remake of the original.
Just be thankful that Bay is producing, not directing. Maybe all he’s in charge of is getting the coke.
Is nothing sacred?
I’m actually excited now!
Wes Craven has been King Midas in reverse for years (did you see New Nightmare?) and Jackie Earle Haley is a perfect Englund replacement. At the very least it’s not like they’re going to fuck up a spotless franchise.
If you have to recast it, Jackie Earle Haley is a great choice for Freddy.
I’m convinced that Jackie Earle Haley is a great choice for anything. Man, woman, animal or machine.
Looks kinda cool.
Funny how Bay’s name lowers everyone’s expectations, including mine. I know he’s not directing but still….I’m sure he’s somehow found a way to worm a few ‘splosions into the mix.
@tsw: Bugs Bunny is an asshole. Bobby was right. Stalking you.
Suck it, Graham! Bugs is NOT an asshole. I made a strong case but Fats conveniently ignored the FACTS. If anyone’s an asshole it’s Daffy. To wit, remember the Genie in the Lamp ep? Who was the greedy one? Daffy.
Who saved the little bunny from Pete Puma? Bugs. Who saved EARTH from Marvin the Martian? Bugs.
Call bugs smug and cocky….but he’s most definitely not an asshole.
Case closed.
