Remake of Nightmare on Elm Street

[secrecyguy]

I know there are couple of fans here so I thought I throw this topic in here.

Yes, they are making it. Right now, they are auditioning people for it. I don't have anymore information about it other than this.

I got this information from an acting forum I belong to. I don't think it's going to be shoot in California since they auditioning people from other states like Chicago.

It's being shot in Chicago.


The bad:  This guy is directing - http://www.imdb.com/name/nm1207904/

The good:  This guy is Freddy - http://www.imdb.com/name/nm0355097/

A dedicated music video director...I guess we could pretend to be surprised.

[JackDaniels]

Am I the only one here who liked the Friday the 13th remake?

[Bojac]

Yes.

[Omni]

It seems that way, yes.

[JackDaniels]

that's strange, because I was in a pretty packed theater (2 seats over out of 1000 seats) and everybody in the theater loved it. Clapping and cheering happened three times during the movie.

[Bojac]

Don't try to defend it.

[Omni]

your theater must have been packed with Tards, they only reason they clapped is they saw something shiny on screen.

[JackDaniels]

Okay, why was the new Friday the 13th so bad?


It's better then parts V trough X. Only the first parts and FvJ were better.

[Omni]

This man may have a point.

[Bojac]

I think Jason X was intentionally bad, and for that it made it great.

That and I die laughing every time when he's beating the chick in the sleeping bag on a tree.

I disagree.  It was definitely not better than parts 6 or 7.  X is debatable.  While X was terrible and cheesy, at least it felt like Jason.  This new movie felt nothing like Friday the 13th.  Also the writing was horrible...I didn't think it was possible to cliche a cliche in the same movie, but I guess I was wrong.

Horrible writing in a Friday the 13th Movie?!


at least they did something right, the FT13 franchise has always felt like it was written by a monkey.

Thing is, Friday the 13th like it was in the beginning just doesn't work anymore. A slow moving zombie jason? Please...

It's cool that Jason ran again *(yes you fuckers, he ran in the first few films)* and the kills we're okay. I dunno, I just liked it.
You can't debate taste.

To me it seemed mor eliek Texas Chainsaw Massacre, but other than that it was good to see Jason back to his running self.

I agree with Hank, didn't feel like Jason but then again it was probably the way it was written.


The teenagers in the movie were too cheesey and lame, that's what spoilt it for me. For fucks sake can anyone not write a great horror/slasher and not rely on dumb-witted idiots for the victims.

I think the whole missing person thing worked well, just not the idiot characters, who cared when they died? not me.


As for the remake of Nightmare, I hope they make this a kind of mix between the original and the first episode 'No more Mr. nice guy' from the Freddy's Nightmares series. - Nothing wrong with the original, just hollywood gone dry again and wanting to leech off a classic.
