Nightmare On Elm Street - Freddy Krueger Returns
It happens when you dream and it's happening AGAIN! The remake of Wes Craven's cult classic "Nightmare On Elm Street" wrapped production on July 10, 2009 and it's set to hit theaters on April 16, 2010. Are you ready? You may never sleep again!
One, Two...Freddy's Coming For You.... We first met Freddy Krueger, one of the most well recognized movie villains of horror history, in 1984 in the original release of Wes Craven's Nightmare On Elm Street. Featuring a group of high school students being terrorized in their dreams by the ghost of Freddy the child murderer, Craven's production of Nightmare On Elm Street grossed over $25 million dollars at US box offices. The premise of the film is the question of distinction between dreams and reality. If you never sleep again, will the terror finally end?
Three, Four...Better Lock Your Door...Several childhood experiences influenced Wes Craven's plot line for Nightmare On Elm Street. Several newspaper articles had referenced the plight of a group of Cambodian refugees and their children. The children were suffering from terrible nightmares and would no longer go to sleep. After seeking the advice of doctors, the parents encouraged the children to sleep and each of the children DIED in their sleep soon after. Craven bases his character, Freddy Krueger, on the school bully who terrorized him in grade school. And Freddy's sweater is the same sweater warn by a hobo who threatened Craven when he was a child.
Five, Six...Grab Your Crucifix... And who IS this Freddy Krueger guy? Krueger was the child of a nun, Amanda Krueger, who was violently raped by one hundred raving maniacs. As a child, he was constantly ridiculed for his infamous and brutal conception and it was then that he started murdering small animals. After suffering abuse from his stepfather for many years, he killed him with a razor. Thus began his killing spree. After being aquitted of the murder of several children in Springwood, Ohio, the angry parents followed Krueger to his hideout and burned it to the ground, with him in it. Ever since that night, Krueger has taken his revenge on the parents of Springwood by stalking their children through their dreams.
Seven, Eight...Gonna Stay Up Late...Platinum Dunes is producing a remake of Nightmare On Elm Street and will keep the original high school setting. The reboot, directed by Samuel Bayer and written by Wesley Strick, ("Arachniphobia" , "Cape Fear") based on Wes Craven's own adaptation, portrays Freddy as a child molester, the way Craven originally intended. The biggest difference, however, is in Freddy himself. Played this time by Oscar nominee Jackie Earl Haley, Freddy will be quieter...but deadlier! (Coincidentally, Haley auditioned for a role in the original Nightmare On Elm Street but was beat out by his friend, Johnny Depp, who just went along for the company!)
Nine, Ten....Never Sleep Again! So mark your calendars, folks! April 16, 2010 is the date...can you stay awake that long? Freddy's betting you can't! - 23806
