Bloody-Disgusting has confirmed that New Line cinema is in "final negotiations" with the new Nancy Thompson for their remake of A NIGHTMARE ON ELM STREET. And the lucky young woman is...
Rooney Mara!
Yes, she's the sister of Kate Mara (as well as the great-granddaughter of the founders of the Pittsburgh Steelers and the New York Giants - which explains her first name). Wanna see what she looks like? Head over to Bloody-Disgusting for ">her perfectly adorable headshot.
I'm still not thrilled with the idea of Platinum Dunes tinkering with Wes Craven's 1984 horror classic (which is just a tad more cerebral than the genre fare they've successfully remade in the past), but they've at least landed the best possible Robert Englund replacement in Jackie Earle Haley. Let's just hope that Wesley Strick bangs out a reasonably thoughtful screenplay for director Samuel Bayer. What do you think?
