A new poster for A Nightmare on Elm Street has been released.  Starring Jackie Earle Haley, Rooney Mara, Kyle Gallner, Kellan Lutz, Thomas Dekker, and Clancy Brown, the New Line movie gets released April 30, which is why you’ve seen an abundance of Nightmare related coverage all around the net this week.  Perhaps you saw my Set Report, or my on set interviews with Jackie Earle Haley and Producers Andrew Form and Bradley Fuller.

On top of the new poster, a new trailer is getting released Thursday morning at 12:01am pst.  Needless to say, we’ll be posting it as soon as it’s online.  Hit the jump to check out the new poster:

Collider Goes to the Set of A NIGHTMARE ON ELM STREET - Read Our Report (With Bonus Video Blog)

Posted: February 22nd, 2010 at 9:01 am

If you’ve been reading Collider for awhile, you know last June I got to visit the set of director Samuel Bayer’s A Nightmare on Elm Street while the production was filming in Chicago.  I was invited - along with a few other online journalists - to watch a night of filming and also participate in roundtables interviews with Jackie Earle Haley, and producers Andrew Form and Brad Fuller.  With the film getting released on April 30, Warner Bros. has released us from our embargo, and I can now post my complete set report.

Since I always like to give options, I’m providing two ways to get the info.  The first is by reading about it…and the other is by watching a video blog I did with Peter from Slashfilm.  Since Peter went on a  different day, we have different takes on what it was like to go to set.  Hit the jump for more:

Jackie Earle Haley On Set Interview A NIGHTMARE ON ELM STREET

Posted: February 22nd, 2010 at 9:01 am

When A Nightmare on Elm Street was filming last June in Chicago, I was invited - along with a few other online journalists - to watch filming one night and also interview some of the cast.   While I’ve conducted many interviews while working for Collider, I’ll admit the interview with Jackie Earle Haley was definitely memorable.  That’s because Haley did the interview while in full Freddy makeup!  And on top of that, I was sitting directly to his right, so when he was answering other people’s questions, I was starring right at his head and blown away by the level of detail.  Trust me, when you see a close-up of Freddy in the movie, you’re going to think you’re looking at a burn victim.

While the interview was conducted late at night and even though the make-up was difficult on Haley, he couldn’t have been nicer.  He talked to us about the challenges of acting under the make-up, does he have empathy for Freddy, working on the finding the voice, was he nervous to sign on for multiple films, going from Watchmen’s Rorschach to this, and so much more.  It’s a great interview, and you can either read or listen to it after the jump:

See Freddie Come to Life in A NIGHTMARE ON ELM STREET Preview

Posted: January 6th, 2010 at 10:41 am

Wanna get a preview of Jackie Earle Haley in action as the new Freddie Krueger in the upcoming A Nightmare on Elm Street remake without buying the new Final Destination DVD it’s featured on? Well, here’s your chance.

In the clip on the jump, Haley talks about how much fun he had diving into the iconic role, and you can tell he means it. It also features glimpses of the extensive makeup process he underwent to become Freddie, and the technology that went into updating his menacing claw. And, as you’ll see in one already creepy bathtub scene, a truly menacing weapon it should be.

Hit the jump to view the A Nightmare on Elm Street preview, and look for the movie itself April 30.

THE FINAL DESTINATION Blu-ray Review

Posted: January 6th, 2010 at 10:25 am

After Final Destination 3, the return of David R. Ellis to the director’s chair seemed like a welcome relief for The Final Destination, the fourth entry in the Final Destination franchise. James Wong directed the first and third, but Ellis directed the second, and it took a clever premise and turned what was once a moody dead teenager movie into a gore-comedy franchise. With an expertly directed opening car crash, the second film took special glee in killing its cast off in elaborate ways, and changed the tone into something resembling a comedy. Bobby Campo stars with Shantel VanSanten and Mykelti Williamson as accident survivors trying to beat death’s design in this effort, and the review of The Final Destination is after the jump.

One of the many films that Warner Bros. promoted at this year’s Comic-Con was Platinum Dunes remake/reboot of “A Nightmare on Elm Street”.

If you’ve been looking forward to seeing Freddy return to movie theaters, you’re going to like this interview. Check it out after the jump:

A NIGHTMARE ON ELM STREET Comic-Con Press Conference

Posted: July 25th, 2009 at 3:57 am

Jackie Earle Haley just might be the nicest guy at Comic Con. The man best known for playing crazy (his spot on portrayal of the unstable vigilante Rorschach in Watchmen won rave reviews from critics and fan boys alike) sauntered into the room like we were all old buddies. He sat down with a great humor and genuine enthusiasm to talk about his take on another iconic pop culture icon… Freddy Krueger. “Wearing the outfit is surreal and very motivating,” remarked Haley with a reverent smile, “It’s a scary process to fill Robert Englund’s shoes. His performance is what makes Freddy. The challenge is going back in time and paying homage while rebooting. It’s a real kick to play such a mythical boogie man!”

Joined by director Samuel Bayer and producers Andrew Form and Brad Fuller, Jackie gave us the low down on their new, darker take on Elm Street. All the razor fingered details are after the jump.

Everyone’s laughing. All the journalists invited to the Chicago set of Platinum Dunes “Nightmare on Elm Street” are having a good time. We’re all chatting with producers Andrew Form and Brad Fuller when the room goes silent. To our right, we see Jackie Earle Haley in full Freddy make-up walking in to film a scene. He looks like a burn victim and it’s really a sight to behold.

A little over a month ago I attended the set visit for Platinum Dunes’ remake of “A Nightmare on Elm Street” and after the jump you can read a short preview and also watch a preview video blog that I did with Peter from /Film. Take a look:

Producers Andrew Form and Brad Fuller talk FRIDAY THE 13th Sequel, 3-D, The Birds, BUTCHERHOUSE CHRONICLES

Posted: June 15th, 2009 at 10:00 am

Last week I was on the set of Platinum Dunes “Nightmare on Elm Street” remake with a number of other websites. While I’m under embargo from writing about anything I saw while there, I was given permission to post what producers Andrew Form and Brad Fuller said about their other projects.

As most of you know, Andrew and Brad have been working non-stop these last few years making horror films like “Friday the 13th”, “The Hitcher”, “The Unborn”, “The Amityville Horror” and “The Texas Chainsaw Massacre”. As you might imagine, they’ve got a few other projects in development…

The big news we learned is the sequel to “Friday the 13^th” is not yet greenlit, but they’ve got a script being written and they’ve already picked out “a nice date next summer that we hope everyone can see another Friday the 13th on. August 13, 2010.”

They also revealed we’re going to see something that’s never been done in a “Friday” film and that’s see Jason in the snow!

We also talked about if they’d do the film in 3-D and Andrew said, “I suspect it will not be in 3-D, although we’d love to make a 3-D horror movie.” Andrew explained since the cost would be a lot higher for 3-D and with the short turnaround time between filming later this year and a next summer release date, it’s probably not going to happen. But they both seemed excited by the possibilities.

They also talked about why they’re having problems developing “The Birds” remake and their original script called “Butcherhouse Chronicles”. It’s after the jump:
