One, Two Freddy's Coming For You.....

I knew that with the new Nightmare On Elm Street remake, some things would be different.  I assumed that the same movie that scared the living piss out of me as a child would probably take some bad turns, however I like in a world of denial and was totally pumped for the movie.  I love a movie that makes me, and pardon my french, "fag" out.  I like to scream at the screen and movies like Nightmare On Elm Street provided me the opportunity to do such.  Well the first 3 movies did, after that I was kind of done with it all.  One thing I am not a fan of is a franchise that doesn't know when to give it up.

Back on track though.  This is what the 2010 version of Freddy Krueger looks like.  To me, it's a little off and makes me sad that Robert Englund is not playing one of my favorite killers.  Wow, never thought I had a favorite killer, weird thing to say.

Jackie Earle Haley is now Freddy Krueger in the film that opens on April 30th.  He is actually contracted for three films which includes the remake and two sequels.  The cast also includes Katie Cassidy, Kellan Lutz and Rooney Mara takes over the lead character of Nancy Thompson, originally played by Heather Langenkamp.  We all know what happened in the original and how it all played out.  But if the right people were smart, this franchise would keep the three aforementioned actors throughout the entire trilogy, if that's what they are working towards  Lutz and Cassidy and both big names that have growing popularity and tying them to this project could be a good thing.  Just my opinion, I mean look how well it worked for Scream and how bad it worked for Nightmare On Elm Street 2.

I'm excited to see this movie, are you?  Do you like the new cast and the new Freddy?
