[Bojangles]

While we reported this last week, it was officially announced this afternoon that Kyle Gallner is moving from The Haunting in Connecticut to A Nightmare on Elm Street, New Line and Platinum Dune's remake of the long-running horror franchise. Gallner will play Quentin, one of the lead teens in the pic, which stars Jackie Earle Haley (Watchmen) as the iconic scaremaster Freddy Krueger. Samuel Bayer helms the redo from Wesley Strick's script. Gallner also stars in Fox Atomic's forthcoming comedy thriller Jennifer's Body, penned by Diablo Cody (Juno). Over the weekend, Platinum Dunes producer Brad Fuller responded to the casting over his official blog. Watch for more casting soon.

YAY!
This better be GOOD!

Are you insane?

There remaking one of the best films ever..
And for no reason more than the fact that they cant even come up with there own concepts..

They have already ruined this film with everything that they have said about it..


Whats the point in even watching it..

Its just going 2 turn into a PG-13 film anyhow..


Lets be excited for that!

[Friday The 13th]

It's a good film, I agree.
And whats wrong with Remakes any how?
I mean not all Remakes suck!
Look at Friday The 13th, It was FUCKING Awesome!

I agree Hollywood is running out of ideas but...
Remakes are actually for the best, sometimes.
I mean it helps revive the older films from the 80's and so on....

So judging on Remakes is a No No..
I mean Remakes can be awesome!

I LOVE Nightmare on Elm Street, and am pretty excited about a remake. I mean really, When was the last time we saw Freddy? Hell, I can't watch the same movie over and over and over forever, so a little "New Blood" could be cool, hehe. And Jackie Earle Haley as Freddy? That just might work! I mean, seems to me he would be a bit more serious than Robert Englund, but he's a creepy guy in his own rights. I am very interested now! Thanks for the news Bo!!!!!!!

Oops.. made a boo boo, clicked on Loki's post (edit) on accident.
ohwell any way here is my thoughts -

Your right...
I mean how boring would that be?
watching the same movie, over and over again...
Same deaths, same Freddy jokes...
It just gets old...
And that's why we need this new Remake!

Damn Skippy! Lets give it up for remakes done well!!!! (Crowd goes wild!)

Hahah yea (Done Well)!
If they suck then they suck!
But if they are good then why judge them right?

I am torn on this one. The original is just as good today as it was when it first came out. But so is Halloween, and look what Rob Zombie was able to do. I loved Freddy VS Jason, so a chance to see a reemergence of Freddy excites me. I hope it goes darker, though. I think that is the only way to make it go!

I think Remakes are good.
When placed it the right hands.
I mean Friday The 13th was awesome! & So was TCM Remake!
So I hope they bring Freddy back, hell yea!
Hopefully they bring him back with better saying/jokes!
