Well, they said if Friday the 13th was successful, the next in line would be A Nightmare on Elm Street. And guess what, it's moving forward. The Hollywood Reporter states that Samuel Bayer has been given the directors chair for the remake. Not waisting any time, the film, which still has no cast, will begin shooting in April or May.Wesley Strick is writing the script for the film which evidently won't deal with Freddy much as the child killer. Just like the original films, you'll know Freddy's backstory, but they're spending most of the time with Freddy as the scary dream killer guy.
For those of you, like me, out there who are saying, "who the fuck is Samuel Bayer?", he's evidently a award wining music video director. He was the guy both behind the creepy bumblebee girl in Blind Melon's No Rain and the iconic Nirvana video Smells Like Teen Spirit. So that's who the fuck he is.
This year also brings us the 25th anniversary of the original Nightmare film. It would be super cool if us Nightmare fans could get some of the sweet treatment that the Friday the 13th fans got. I'd love a big coffee table book, and a documentary DVD about the history of the series. Hell, unlike Jason, only one guy ever has been Freddy Kruger, and it seems like he'll do anything these days. Couldn't be that hard to get some interviews with him about how sweet it was to be Freddy, could it? I just want more from The Springwood Slasher. The old one. Hype me up a bit.

Why do I have a feeling that this is going to be a piece of shite. Few things first don't show anything about Freddy's childhood. Emo afterschool special Michael Myers didn't work and will piss me off if they do the same here. Second unlike Jason & Michael there's only one Freddy if they replace him the actor better be Heath Ledger/Joker good. Thrid they better find the happy balance Wes found in Dream Warroirs Funny/Scary ratio. Forth no retelling shite. Friday was good because that movie respected the source matieral and could have happened anytime during the first 3movies. Fifth and last little girls jumping rope singing a unsettling nurseryque song is hard to fuck up and better open the teaser trailer!!!!
