News floating around today says that Platinum Dunes is eager to get started on the reboot of Nightmare on Elm Street. Apparently crew is being called to the set to begin principal photography late next month, aiming for a April 16th 2010 release.
Platinum Dunes is eyeing an April 27th, 2009 start for principal photography for their reboot of A Nightmare on Elm Street, and Warner Bros has set April 16th, 2010 for the film’s theatrical release
Nightmare on Elm St is one of those franchises that I don’t really mind them rebooting. And they are rumoured to have Watchmen’s Jackie Earl Haley as Freddy but other rumours say he was confirmed NOT in the role. With such a close starting date for principal photography I hope that they already have their cast.
I am not one of those purists who think that Freddy must be played by Englund, and considering Englund is in his 60s I just don’t see it happening anyways. Whoever they get will have to have the presence and mannerisms down and the mask will take care of the rest.
The house appears in so many movies, we know its still around. I hope that they use the same Elm St House for the reboot too.
So they are filming late next month, so who is Freddy?
