Nightmare News from Costa. See? Short Title. Not a Long One at All. Take That, Lucian! Oh, Drats, It Got Longer. Man, I Need to Stop Typing. Stop Already! Geez, Am I Buzzed on Splenda or Somthing? Must Be. I Can Feel the Fake Sugary Goodness Down Inside Me.
Marking Halloween weekend for its release, movie fright legend A Nightmare on Elm Street will get a makeover and premiere on October 30th. After looking at numerous actors to take on the iconic role of Freddy Krueger, Costa’s Legacy Filmworks and Ship of Fooles Studio have agreed on Crispin Glover. Creepy in his own way, the two organizations felt that he would be perfect for the role. As for the director, Lucian wants Wes Craven back. However, Costa is pushing for Sam Raimi (who helmed the recently released Drag Me to Hell).
The script is near completion, according to Costa, and shooting is schedualed to start in the coming weeks. The beginning of the film reportedly shows an extensive prologue before Freddy is burned and becomes who he is known to be in the Nightmare franchise. There is a very controversial scene where Freddy rapes a little girl. Insiders explain that we thankfully won’t see everything, but just enough to merit the controversy. The story after the introduction will follow the sons and daughters of the parents in the begining of the film as they are visited by Freddy in their dreams.
The film will have refrences to the original, but will not follow the plot. The character of Nancy Thompson is not coming back and neither is the character played by Johnny Depp. This version is modernized and will have its own story that the insider claims will scare the hell out of audiences.
“Man, I will so be there when this opens!” exclaimed a movie goer at a local cinema. “Freddy’s that one horror image that really gets to me. I can hardly wait!”
