In case you didn’t know already, producer Michael Bay is rebooting the Freddy franchise and so I thought I would provide you with the new trailer for the upcoming film. I’ll admit that I haven’t watched many of the Freddy movies but I can honestly say that I’m happy with the casting of Freddy. He is being played by Jackie Earle Haley, Rorschach from The Watchmen, and judging from the the photo he looks pretty good. You can read more about A Nightmare on Elm Street and check out the trailer after the jump.
This movie is going to capitalize on the recent trend of ‘origin stories.’ As you can tell from the trailer it is all about Freddy’s character development and the beginning of the Elm St. horrors.
After watching the trailer I still remain skeptical about how good this movie is actually going to be. They showed way too much in the trailer which seemed to take away from the mystery and imagery of his origin. Other scenes would have been better to leave out, like the girl levitating off the bed, because it would have freaked theater goers out in theaters rather than already expecting it when they arrive. I don’t think Bay will destroy the good name of Freddy but I’m curious to see what his take will be on it (lots of explosions perhaps). I hope it doesn’t suck like many of the recent reboots we have seen.
Check out the trailer in high def. and see some cool cinematic colors embedded below.
