Here's A Script Review Of Platinum Dunes' NIGHTMARE ON ELM STREET Remake...

Published at:  Mar 25, 2009 3:18:32 PM CDT

SPOILER ALERT !!


Merrick here...




My guys over at Latino Review have posted a magical, embed-o-matic review of the NIGHTMARE ON ELM STREET remake script.

I like this embed stuff they're doing - they've refined it a lot since the last go-round. Slick graphics and pretty color = hypnotized Merrick (it really doesn't take much).

    No Englund=Not Paying Englund

    by enderandrew

    These remakes are about trying to spend very little and getting a huge return on investment. Still, Freddy is under a bunch of makeup and Englund could play him. My only concern is that people root for Freddy. He is a little too silly. I rewatched the original, and it is actually pretty good, as is New Nightmare (the only two I own on DVD). If they do a reboot, they need to make him terrifying and make him a proper villan. I still say they should cast Tony Todd. The idea of Tony Todd as this child molesting killer is pretty frightening, and it might bring out the old-school horror crowd.

    Make it to where Freddy isn't a molester so he is an anti-hero, then he has to end up fighting Jason in another VS movie and he ends up winning b/c he is the "good" guy.Hollywood, I want my percentage when you come around to this idea in 5 to 10 years.

    110 pages issues

    by bouncy x

    not sure if it always applies but i once heard each page of a script should equal about 1min of the movie so if this is the case, movie would be 1hr40 which is typical for horror and longer than most of the Elm Street movies.

    I'm only 30 and the little fucking morons today couldn't watch the original Fiday the 13th, Dawn of the Dead of Texas Chainsaw because they're so fucking riddled with ADD that they can't absorb anything without MTV style editing and lighting. The Frida the 13th remake was fucking shit. If you got rid of the name Crystal lake, the name Jason Voohrees and the hockey mask it could have been any other fucking generic piece of shit slasher film. People talk shit about those movies but, hey, it's been almost 30 years since the first and we're still talking about these movies. Do you think that anyone will give two fucks about the Saw films in ten years? Not fucking likely but we'll still be watching Friday the 13th!

    More 2 dimensional cliche characters

    by speedstic

    Why do they have to make the characters of today's horror such cliches? The Goth chick, The Bloger, The swim team captian, the cheerleader...or whatever. Part of the charm of the Original was that the characters looked like they actually went to school with you. They weren't WB teens, High School Musical, stereo-types. The new Friday the 13th was dumb, G. I. Joe will suck balls, and this remake is going to suck as well. Sorry, just speaking the truth people.

    Freddy hardly talks in this?

    by d.vader

    Way to completely neuter a character and make him devoid of personality. I don't want gore and guts with a Nightmare remake (I dont want a remake at all, actually), but what makes NOES special is the FUCKING CHARACTER, the PERSONALITY of Freddy. And while I like the idea of Freddy possibly being setup by the kids, I don't like having the kids be grown up 18 year olds. I think the first film worked better when these teenagers were "innocent" in regards to Freddy's death, and they were paying for the sins of their parents. It was far scarier that way. But back to the title of this post: No darkly comic Freddy playing cat to the teenagers' mouse? FUCK THAT.

    A Couple Notes...

    by bruticus

    I think I agree with D.Vader here... In that Freddy should speak. I understand that Freddys personality was a little too camp and theatrical at times in the original. However I think the idea of a murderers ghost invading dreams who has an actual personality (unlike most horror villains) could be done DIFFERENTLY and pulled off excellently with care and thought. Make him have a wild personality and a sarcastic sense of humour but make him seem real and unscripted. Could be awesome.I like a lot of the ideas here though. Freddy possibly being a scapegoat could be motivation for him. However, BACKSTORY is VERY overrated these days. We don't need a backstory. Most of the time the reason we fall in love with these characters is because the BACKSTORY is left up to our imagination. I just despise those "aha!" moments where the teenagers gather around and say look guys its freddy, hes coming back for us cause we lied, now all we have to do is tell the truth and clear his name! Id rather it just be hinted at that his guilt was a lie.

    if they must.....why not just.....

    by quartermass-87

    get someone who actually understands and love horror to do these remakes? I mean take the Hills Have Eyes remake, which in my opinion was an ok remake and retained the spirit of the original...WHY? because Wes Craven was involved in them. If someone is gonna remake shit at least have someone remotely connected with the oriiginal involved. Craven did the same with LHOTL as well. But look at the Jonh Carpenter remakes. He has no involvement. Why be a part of something that will never touch your original anyway. Fans will know what the classic is and what the pile of shit is. JC will take his cash from a remake but why bother with it. They wanna remake it and fuck it up then they can suffer fans wrath. But back to the first thing I said. At least get someone who loves horror. Find a director who has done something good in the horror genre and let them do the remake. At least it will be in the hands of someone who understands and likes horror and ain't in it for the cash. That way they could show some fucking respect for us fans and still get the reamke monet they crave....cash whores that they are. And shit like not having Englund in the flick or not being true to the spirit of the flick is a kick right in the ballsack. You want us to get behind a remake then give us something....shit throw us a bone, a scrap of something. Show us you get it Hollywood.

    I'd disagree. Freddy did more than barely speak in the first film, and he still had a wicked sense of humor. This review isn't very clear on that particular topic, other than saying he "hardly" speaks, which to me sounds like they're making him into a mute killer in the vein of Myers, Jason, and Leatherface. Now if the narrator believes that Freddy hardly spoke in the first film too, then I'd feel better. Compared to sequels, he did hardly speak. But when I hear the words "Hardly speaks", I imagine something like one line of dialogue with each kill, or no dialogue at all. That's not how I like my Freddy. And if the idea is that Freddy is getting revenge on the kids who outted him, I think he would speak a lot. Especially since he had a relationship with them many years ago.

    by vern

    If they had somebody serious trying to do this I might not be against it, but if the words "goth chick" are actually in the script I think we got a problem.
    That said, I do sort of like the idea that Freddy might have been set up. That's something new at least.
    misc. notes:
    a. Freddy didn't talk much until part 2, and I would be mad if he did talk too much in a remake.
    b. Good call, they'll go with Jackie Earle Haley, although that doesn't fit the description of him being handsome. On second thought, this is also a Platinum Dunes picture, which means he will be 7 feet tall and have long hair and muscles and run really fast.
    c. I hate this video trend. The whole point of browsing the internet is that we know how to read. If we wanted to sit and watch videos we still got a TV. It seems to me like it misses the point of the medium, like that DVD where the guy reads the watchmen comic books to you in different voices. On the positive side, it was kind of cool how it loaded wrong and the dude sounded like a weird robot doing experimental electronic music in front of an out of sync slide show about Freddy.

    WHAT A CROCK OF TEPID REHEATED SHIT

    by spud mcspud

    There is literally nothing they can do to make this a good idea. Yeah, I'd love to see Chris Cunningham or Tarsem (I actually dug the visuals in THE CELL) direct Jackie Earle Haley as Freddie Krueger, but these Hollywood types are fuckwits, and such coolness will never happen. It'll be fucking Chris Pine in a movie by Brett Fuckner with a script by Stephen Sommers in a CG-drenched fucking abhorrence that makes Van Helsing look like Citizen Kane.

    We're not going far enough on this, people. Don't just fucking boycott this shit - everyone on these TBs should actively beat the shit out of any kid who pays to see this shit, or any other remake. Maybe it'll work. Fuck, at this point, we'll be watching NOES cartoons on fucking Cartoon Network inside of five years.

    Cunningham would be awesom but Bayer is an intiguing choice

    by the_genteel_gentile

    Samuel Bayer has done some very intesting short-form work over many years. I'm curious to see how he'll do at feature length. But Chris Cunningham, Mark Romanek or Mark Pellington would have likely been better choices. I just hope Bayer doen't turn out to be another disappoinment like Marcus Nispel, I had such high hopes for Nispel based on some of his videos (Notorious BIG's Victory, Bush's Greedy Fly).

    I don't like the idea of Freddy being potentially a victim......

    by crackerfarmboy

    Freddy is one the only PURE evil villains in slasherdom. I don't like the concept of him perhaps being a "victim" of kid's lies. Freddy needs to be pure evil and vicious. Jason is somewhat sympathetic what with him being retarded, disfigured, and a momma's boy. Freddy is NOT sympathetic at all. I hope it's all a mirage. I liked the Friday the 13th remake, but it certainly wasn't perfect.

    by skimn

    on Freddy being innnocent or guilty, but the idea of the actions of the parents, being repaid by punishing their children. And the parents are in such denial that they don't want to believe in the existence of Freddy, despite their offspring being killed around them. Or drinking themselves into a forgetful stupor.

    I actually prefer the refinement of Freddy coming back to haunt his molestation victims. I called it ages ago that Nancy would now be a panda bear eye liner wearing My Chemical Romance fan though. As for the director...Well, its exactly what I expected. Like Nispel he can deliver on the beautiful decay level, and he's good at making his videos look like ads for Hot Topic. Pretty much exactly what you'd expect from a Platinum Dunes picture. Someone up there mentioned Gus Van Sant as a joke? Did you watch Paranoid Park? He'd be perfect. Larry Clark, Cunningham if you just want to deliver on scary mindfuck visuals that aren't solely reliant on slick photography and wallpaper peeling set dressing. Samuel Bayer as a director is more in line with Renny Harlin or Stephen Hopkins.

    Why?

    by yodaismyhomie

    Seriously, NOES was good and a couple of the sequels were fun even if they did lose sight of the direction of the original. But seriously, rebooting yet another horror franchise just won't work well. The old ones (NOES, F13, Halloween) worked well because they were low budget and had a gritty feeling to them. They were new and original and people flocked to see them. The old school fans still like the old ones. The new generation laughs at the mention of the old ones, can't stand watching them, and really don't dig the reboots as much as we did the originals.

    The Saw franchise is popular today for a couple of reasons: It's different. It's innovative. It introduced a new concept and the first film was not this predictable thing that was done in the 80s over and over again. I only saw the first two and don't know who the others are, but I am sure it is getting "tired" now too...but the point is it became popular because it was original...not because it was familiar. Please Hollywood...more originality and less reboots!

    by rocklobster800

    I can imagine all the parents all meeting round at cocktail partys and saying"well, last night I abused Karen..ooh she wasnt happy about that!" "I know, Ive been abusing little Glen for months now and he keeps crying...say, what if this gets reported to the police? I mean a whole neighbourhood of children getting abused by their parents...we're going to need a scapegoat! Hey, we'll get them to say it was that gardener guy they like...that'll cover my tracks! So, you want to come round and molest MY kids tommorrow as a thank you for last week?" I mean one family is believable, but a bunch of kids getting abused by their parents and all deciding to blame Freddy? Im assuing its written with more sense than that...but no matter how much optimism you throw at it...it is a platinum dunes remake. thats all you need to know.

    by spud mcspud

    No, your idea of Elm St depends on the audiences being intelligent and possessing the ability to follow a coherent narrative, not to mention complex storytelling that relies on the gradual reveal of the parents being the REAL mosnters - my favourite line in the first movie being "You don't have to be afraid any more, baby. Freddy's dead because Mommy killed him."

    This movie is made for ADD riddled brats who have no concept of subtlety, narrative, nuance, or of a more complex subtext played out in the back of a movie. This will be like one long Green Day video with a sympathetic Freddy goofing along in the foreground, occasionally killing someone in a SAW-stylee.

    Basically, forget all that great backstory in NOES where the parents are the real villains for burning a child molester alive rather than getting him arrested and imprisoned. It's too smart and reasonable. And where can you sell these KEEEEEWWWLL figures and T-shirts and books and shit based on an intelligent subtext? Nope - DUMB THAT SHIT DOWN AND SELL, SELL, SEEEELLLLL!!!!!

I'm not the most morally upstanding dude in the world, but even I'm fucking sickened by the ethnical degenaracy of the SAW sequals. They're fucking sickening on an intellectual level, and on a film production level they are so ridiculously poorly made and cheap you really, really wonder how people could justify to themselves buying a ticket to see it on the big screen.

    "Basically, forget all that great backstory in NOES where the parents are the real villains for burning a child molester alive rather than getting him arrested and imprisoned." Um, were you paying attention? That IS in the new movie. Only with the ambiguity of wether Freddy did it or not. I'm guessing he did. Also, the first go through was written by Wesley Strick, so if anything I'm guessing he smartened up the original film (his Cape Fear rework was vastly superior to the original) but you're right in that its platinum dunes, and I'm sure they rewrote it to make it more...well, shit.

    by dancingforever

    To come up with a new villain for a slasher film? I understand the thought of going with an established name because a fan base is already there, but are we really so creatively void that there are no writers left who can imagine something this menial? People have made this point ad naseum but is there more at work here than just laziness? i get the criticisms of todays youth but these have been thrown at every generation in the same way. I think it's more about the lack of creativity in our society opposed to todays youth being ADD. I would argue that in a small way this film represents a much bigger problem. The artists of days past find no place in this society and all we are left with is uncreative people re-imaging previous works with a sexy new twist that has no depth.

    by the_genteel_gentile

    But I've got a major Jordana Brewster fetish. So there's that. But I think it TCM:TB was better executed and less gimmicky. Less showy camera moves and more visceral. Maybe If TCM had at least attempted to justify why we can't have some see through action with Jessica Biel's tank top. I mean, I'm just saying, what's up with that? Throw a dog a bone, Am I right here fellas? No high fives? Alright that's cool, guess it's JUST me. But also I really don't like Daniel Pearl's unmotivated overlighting on the Nispel remake either. Pearl's got a bad habit of that kind of cinematography, it's very visible and distracting in Pathfinder, Friday 13th, and AVP:Requiem too. I ask, is it any coincidence they were all very bad movies to boot?

But as you said, you do have a Brewster fetish, and I've found myself tolerating plenty of shitty movies just because the lead actress is hot. I also like Pearls photography. Yeah, its like Fiore's in that its a whole lot of slick theatrical lighting that doesn't make much sense in context, but it looks nice.

    Yeah, finger knives are sharp, but they are supported by fingers that are generally sort of weak. So you go you slice off a part of the bush and you hit an unexpectedly large branch.

    WhinyNegativeBitch - Oh no man!

    by the_genteel_gentile

    Don't compare Daniel Pearl's unmotivated glaring white hot lights coming from nowhere outside in the dead of night to Mauro Fiore. Fiore's night time photography for Tears Of The Sun is some of my favorite in recent memory. I love Fiore, but Pearl goes to far, there's moments in all the films I mentioned where it looks like Day for Night, shot at 2 in the afternoon, with those big white blades of light coming through trees and such. Ahh, I hate that. Night should look dark. THe daytime stuff from Pathfinder and AVP: Requiem looked muddy and cheap to me. I like hard motivated light with dark deep black shadows (think Storaro's Kurtz's compound work for Apocaypse Now). Pearl has done some fine work though, other than the night stuff I thought TMC looked really good. He definitly did a better overal job on F13 I think, Pearls best work to me is still on the orginal Toby Hooper TCM. But Fiore is a master. At least Pearl's better than Simon Duggan, ahh his stuffs a disgrace! I can't believe Alex Proyas approves of this guy. Some of my favorite cinematographers are Robert Richardson, Vittorio Storaro, Roger Deakins, Dariusz Wolski, Greg Toland, Conrad Hall, John Toll, Vilmos Zsigmond, Janusz Kaminski, Dante Spinotti, Emmanuel Lubezki, Robert Elswitt, John Alcott, Nestor Almendros, Geoffrey Unsworth, Dean Semler, Jordon Cronenweth, Darius Khondji, Dion Beebe, John Mathieson, Amir Mokri, Mauro Fiore, Slawomir Idziak, Caleb Deschannel, John Schwartzman, Alex Thompson and Dean Cundey. That was just to give an idea of where I'm coming from and that I know a thing or two. Like I said Fiore is great, Pearl is faily mediocre at best. I can't wait to see what Mauro Fiore has done with Cameron for AVATAR. I got a feeling Fiore is about to own every cinematography award known to man for that one. At least he should if the 3D photography is half as ground breaking as it sounds.

    The TV series that was cranked-out 20 years ago. And--whoa--somebody open a window; stink-er-reeno. Scripts (included one that was directed by Englund) are non-existent, somebody scribbled it all on toilet paper while waitng in line for an SNL taping. My daily McDonald's menu is more expensive than the average, episodic budget of this filler. Englund milked the whole thing dry (spin-off franchises). But, behind-the-camera, he's one helluva nice guy (even taping exclusive "Freddy" phone messages for fanboys).

    ......oh come on, hey why not make him a presenter on the Disney Channel whilst your at it.....forgive me if i'm wrong but why the fuck mess with the back story......? The whole idea of Kruger was that he was a child murderer who apparently got away with it until local parents banded together and took justice into their own hands....."Sins of their fathers" and all that. So does that mean if he was innocent he comes back and becomes a murderer? Thus turning him into a child killer for revenge? Or will he invade their dreams with fluffy white clouds, pink elephants dressed as a teletubby begging for an apology?

    "sins of the father"

    by vern

    I haven't read the script and I assume it's not very good but I don't think the "Freddy might be innocent" angle has to violate the subtext of the original. If he was innocent and was rightfully set free and the parents set him on fire then it's almost more fucked up, and he's still getting revenge on the kids for what their parents did. Also I bet at the end it turns out he was not innocent anyway. They probaly shouldn't make a movie about how kids are liars and shouldn't be trusted about who is touching them in their bathing suit area.
    I wonder if making him explicitly a child molester takes some of the fun out of it though? I guess everybody seems to assume he is anyway, but they never said he was in the original series and I think it would've been pretty uncomfortable because he would've come up with ways to molest people in their dreams. Nobody wants to see that.

    Good point Vern, see where your coming from and desperately hope that he wasn't innocent either. If they made him a complete innocent who subsequently becomes evil due to the fact that he was murdered by the locals who believed him to be the child killer/molester wouldn't that kind of take away the point? Wouldn't it just become a ghost story then? We've seen countless of those movies were someone wrongfully dies and returns to get revenge on those who did them wrong......why would an innocent person commit murder and become the one thing he was innocent of? If thats the case I seriously think the story had better be top notch and extremely dark otherwise there's a real danger of it turning into another Ring/The Grudge type ghost flick.
    And ok your right I think the molestation of children was purely suggested and not actually established.....and was cleverly achieved by making the original victims children and not Teens/Adults

    So Fiore's not a jerk, that's good to hear. I've noticed most cinematographers are really nice, generous people. I met Guillermo Navaro at a ASC open house and he wasn't the most polite character I've ever run accross. Navaro and Ellen Kuras were hanging out together pretty much trying to avoid everyone. Maybe he's just an introvert though, or perhaps he was trying to get laid by showing Kuras what a hard ass he is. Pretty stupid move to act like you're a hot shot while in the same room as Richardson, Zsigmond, Burham, Deschanel, Daveau and Lubezki though. All of whom were being exceedingly nice and accessible (especially Chivo Lubezki, that guy's a saint). I left a message for you D.Vader, in the Brian Tyler/Star Trek talkback.

    Why Freddy's back story has been forfeited

    by thegreatwhatzit

    One reason: some of the toys appended to the NIGHTMARE/ELM franchise were a tough sell as a result of Freddy's pedophile links (parents picketed the talking Freddy doll). Perhaps the producers of the ill-advised remake intend to renew a bit of licensing ($$$$$$$$$$$$); to avoid any risk of losing toy/video revenue, just transform Freddy into a wrongly-convicted sweetheart.

    Hmmmmm....

    by magic01273

    I gotta say - I much prefer the originals back story and the unfolding mystery about Freddy. Though now we have seen it in the original film - would a carbon copy re-hash of the exact same plot be worth watching? Maybe not.

    Personally I loved Nancy's fight to make her parents and the other "adults" listen to her about what was happening to her and her friends and I think this is what was so great about the original. The mystery surrounding Freddy was revealed through the movie and you got a real sense of the desperation she experienced in trying to get these people to take her seriously, right up to point where she has no other choice left but to take matters into her own hands.

    The scenes with her mother were some of the best true "drama" I've seen in a horror movie if I'm honest.You got to see the Mother become completely unhinged at the idea of Freddy being back and I agree with the poster back up there who said that the theme of the Kids paying for the sins of their parents was a great angle in the original.

    Freddy was MEANT to be pure evil. You - the viewer- were MEANT to feel and know that with every inch of your being. I just feel that adding any ambiguity to Freddy's motivations that could threaten to take that sense away is wrong for this movie and this villain.

    I don't want Nancy Drew running around with a magnifying glass trying to investigate Freddy's poetntial innocence. Yes Vern - it would be fine to have Freddy be found guilty in the end anyway, but I can't help but worry that the film essentially suffers up to that point as a result of a plot thread like this. The mystery around who Freddy is was compelling and interesting enough without a "Freddy could be innocent" piece being thrown in.

    And no - Freddy doesn't say that much in Film 1 - another good thing about the film. He speaks yes - but in very short chunks (compared to the clowny dumbass rants he goes off on in subsequent instalments). His appearances in the first film are also a lot creepier and more atmospheric vs. the rubbish 'comedy-sketch-ending-with-a-splat' format that followed in the other films. In fact - in a couple of scenes (the hanging in the prison cell, Tina's body in a body-bag being dragged along the school hall, the blender-bed) Freddy was barely even seen, which was far more menacing in my opinion.

    I am a supporter of Freddy being played by someone else, though. I love love love Robert Englund but so much damage was done to his iteration of Freddy by the end - its almost impossible to re-start this gig with him as the main man now if you want to set something up to get back to the originals tone. I don't blame him, of course and I loved Freddy for what he was - and even what he became, but I am excited to see if a little of the ham gets removed and hopefully have some of the menace added back in. We'll see.

    Like all the horror-movie remakes these days, I don't feel too precious about these properties that noone should ever remake them - however NOES is the one I hope they get right the most. If its a fail though - it doesn't take away from the original for me.

    Cheers!

    by williamzabkarox

    Alot of people behind these remakes want to give an updated version. They tend to feel the originals look too dated. The special effects have improved. How about just re-releasing the originals and pulling a George Lucas by adding some new updated effects? Clive Barker said he felt Hellraiser suffered from dated looking effects. Why remake the entire classic movie when you can just go back in and clean it up? There is zero need to any film to be remade. It's all about the money and sadly opening weekend the kiddies will eat this shit up. In a age of DVD/Blu Ray remakes are needed even less. Friday The 13th was released on Blu Ray and looks far better than the awful remake.

    front side of shirt "Freddy Raped My Childhood"

    by thepilgrim

    Backside of shirt

    "I LIED"
    small text under it
    "Never Sleep Again"
    Also the whole playing tag thing, so thats where the "one, two, freddys coming for you" shit comes from.

    Oh so damn creative... I'm sitting here with a face trapped in pure shock and creative awe...

    Dont play tag with Freddy unless you like being raped after your it. And the claws if he's innocent where do the claws come from did he wear plastic claws fingers while playing tag to make it more fun for the kids, who later accused him of rapage... Where are the parents??? guitar hero... oh man.. Sanp bracklets never showed up in the original nightmare films. Please don't.

    People want to root for Freddy

    by harold the great

    Making him a victim, gives them an excuse. I like it. The rest sounds pretty bad though.

    My vote goes to...

    by evildeadgeorge

    Terry O'Quinn...one of the Losties has to hit it big by the time the show ends. I'm pretty sure since the first time I've heard anything about recasting Freddy, Ben Foster's name has been floating around. If it was Jackie Earle Haley, maybe Freddy can castrate himself on a playground with his own glove. Yeah...

    Ben Foster's perfect for Freddy

    by fireball xl-5

    Hope he gets it. But the whole Freddy-was-set-up thing doesn't work for me. He's supposed to be a vile scumbag who is transformed into a super-empowered vile scumbag by the very people who think they're doing away with him.

    Freddy was a brilliant idea...

    by giant ape balls

    ... but the films were pretty poor. I don;t think they can make this any worse than a lot of the dross they spewed out, especially in the sequals

    Jerry Bruckhiemer's version of Little House

    by xxsoulflyxx

    on the Prairie coming soon to a theater near you starring Michael Landon Jr. It's going to be a wild west showdown like you've never seen. Rated R. Half Pint will get drunk and get pregnant, then blow shit up.

    Why does AICN review scripts? Scripts? Seriously?

    by photoman

    Scripts have nothing to do with the actual final film.
