Well, it looks like Platinum Dunes is pulling no punches when it comes to remaking classic horror franchises. After the successful Texas Chainsaw Massacre and Friday the 13th remakes, their next venture comes in the form of a badly scarred dead man with a disturbing fascination with children. Platinum Dunes has given the Nightmare on Elm Street remake a release date of April 6th, 2010.With their record breaking Friday the 13th remake, it's no surprise that they want to get this next horror project off the ground quickly. In fact, production will begin next month, although little is known about the project at this point. Will it be a straight remake like The Omen or a reimagining like Halloween? Who will star as Freddy Krueger? Who will get diced up by him?
The only known fact is that Samuel Bayer, best known for shooting music videos (like this Nirvana classic), will direct the film. So like it or not, another classic film is being remade and will be upon us before you know it. Look for Nightmare on Elm Street next year.
