A Nightmare on Elm Street is an upcoming 2010 American horror film written by Eric Heisserer and Wesley Strick, directed by Samuel Bayer, and produced by Michael Bay, Andrew Form, and Brad Fuller. The film is a remake of the 1984 slasher film of the same name, written and directed by Wes Craven.[5] The 2010 remake will see its theatrical release on April 16, 2010.[1]

Production

On January 29, 2008, Variety reported that Michael Bay and his Platinum Dunes production company would be rebooting the Nightmare on Elm Street franchise.[5] In February 2009, The Hollywood Reporter announced that Samuel Bayer was hired to direct the film.[6] In a June 9, 2009 interview, Craven expressed his displeasure in the remaking of his 1984 film, primarily because the filmmakers chose not to have him as a consultant to the film, unlike with the 2009 remake The Last House on the Left where he "shepherd it towards production".[7]

Casting

In February 2009, The Hollywood Reporter revealed Robert Englund will not reprise the role of Freddy for the remake; Englund had performed the role for all eight consecutive films.[8] On April 3, 2009 Entertainment Weekly reported that Jackie Earle Haley will take over Englund's most famous role.[9] Rooney Mara will play the role of Nancy Thompson.[10] Other confirmed cast members include Thomas Dekker as Jesse, a jock on the swim team,[11] and Kyle Gallner as Quentin.[12] Kellan Lutz is in final negotiations to play Dean, "a well-liked, well-off high school jock".[13] Connie Britton will also star.[14]

Filming

Principal photography began on May 5, 2009.[15] New Line contracted with two high schools in Illinois, Elk Grove High School and John Hersey High School, to use their location for scenes in the remake. According to Principal Nancy Holman, of Elk Grove High, the studio contacted schools across the nation looking for one that had a swimming pool. Although filming will take place at both schools, neither will be identified by name. The studio also cast 200 extras for various school scenes, including one in the pool, but required that all auditioning students be at least 16-years old.[16] School board President Lenore Gonzales Bragaw was initially apprehensive about the deal, as she disliked the idea of the studio filming "scenes of violence" at the schools; Bragaw agreed to the filming after being assured that no one would be killed during the swimming scenes.[17]

The Gary city Methodist church has been selected for the remake. "The movie studio wanted an architectural style that would fit the story line of the film, and present a grand vision" says Ben Clement, executive director of the Gary Office of Film and Television. New Line is scheduled to return in June to shoot on Tyler St., which will be used as the backdrop for a dream sequence that takes place on Elm Street in the movie[18]

Release

A Nightmare on Elm Street is scheduled for an April 16, 2010 release.[1]
