Want so incredibly much!

Okay, here's something you may not know about me: While I do adore horror, I simply cannot stand Wes Craven. Not only do I think he's the worst for women by far of the biggies (Carpenter, romero, etc.), while the others apologize for it, he gets away with saying how edgy his treatment of the fairer sex is because he's a slick talker. So imagine my surprise when I actually found myself almost spraining something squeeing over the trailer for the Nightmare on Elm Street remake. Come on, Jackie Earle Haley as Freddy?! Can it get any freaking better?! I think he's about the only person in existence I'd accept replacing Robert England. And there's Katie Cassidy (wall and ceiling death! Kick ass!), Kyle Gallner (Johnny Depp's part!) and Rooney Mara (Kate's little sister) to sweeten the deal. Oh yeah, I'm excited!

Peace, Ghani

NIIIIIIIIIIICE! Mostly for the JEH factor. ;) But yes, that actually looks like it's going to be pretty awesome. I never say that about remakes, but whoa. What a trailer, is all I can say!

You hate Wes Craven? OMG I had no idea. I love his movies -- well, not all of them, but quite a few of them. And here I was gushing about his flicks to you all this time. I'm so sorry.

I was uneasy about the remake, but this trailer is definitely WIN. The original NoES movie featured Freddy Krueger as something truly scary and creepy, whereas the sequels had him cracking bad jokes and making bad puns and punctuating practically every sentence by laughing uproariously. Looks like this remake will stick with the scary-creepy Freddy, thank goodness.
