Here is a link that you must click. Only play that video. Do not click any of the other tabs like "Freddy Krueger" and watch those videos. Shitty music tributes. But that one is tight, right? Badass! Well, forget about that, that is not a trailer for the real movie.
In case you did not know, there is a remake, or reboot, or possible rape of A Nightmare On Elm Street due to be released in 2010. That trailer you watched is by Christopher Johnson , an actor, writer, and producer, although most of his work seems to be in visual effects. He apparently is so excited about the new movie that he made that trailer. I was let down a bit after finding out that it wasn't for the real movie. However, after watching one, I did feel a little better. Right off, it looks pretty damn frightening.
You'll notice some things made it to this one from the original, such as the "Freddy's coming for you," song and the glove in the bath. Mayhaps a re-imagining of Johnny Depp's death scene? That would be delightful. Especially if Glen, who is now called Quentin for some reason, is still watching that funny tv with those funny headphones. He better not be watching an iPod, like they used in the Friday the 13th remake (I purposely did not link that piece of trash film).
I also like how they appear to show the "creation" of Freddy. This was something that was only referenced in the films, but was delved into a bit in Freddy's Nightmares. The series actually showed a trial of Freddy from my recollection, where he was in a glass box in the courtroom. I also remember the show alternating from pre movie storyline episodes involving Freddy to other random stories that had nothing to do with it, and were more like episodes of Tales from the Darkside. The cast doesn't really jump out at me, but that really doesn't matter I guess. The trailer does look pretty damn good in my opinion, and I will probably see this in the theatre.

Ah, the one remake my childhood feared but one which I am cautiously optimistic will be decent. Platinum Dunes, the producing companies, has had a mixed bag with the remakes of Friday, Amityville (the first version at least), and Texas Chainsaw Massacre. Hopefully they will treat my memories with respect before systematically destroying their innocence.
