Why are they remaking Nightmare on Elm Street?

I just saw the trailer and it looks HORRIBLE. Do they really expect people to see anyone but Robert Englund as Freddie? Or maybe I'm just an 80s baby that could never see anyone else being Freddy...or Nancy....

Life is either a daring adventure or nothing at all!
willy wonka remake sucked ass.. it was like watching micheal jackson at neverland ranch. it was very creepy
Um technically they didn't remake the movie willy wonka, it is based on a novel, therefore the 70s one was the first adaption of the book, the 00s one the second.
work = work + 1;
sleep = sleep - work * 10;}
else if (work >= 0) {
reality.equals(false);
work = work +1;
}system("pause");
return 0;}

oh. either way it still creepy.
The effort to reproduce the creepy, taut suspense of the original probably hasn't entered their minds.
I predict a fail.
You can cry technicality all you want. Yes, it was another attempt to make a movie adaptation that was already made. Like everyone else so far has said, it was horrible. I like Johnny Depp but holy moly that was bad.
AFter seeing the trailer for the new Nightmare it looks like it's going to be the same type of flop. Just like When a Stranger Calls. The originals are USUALLY the better versions. Nowadays it seems a lot of it is who has the best effects, not story, or characters.

well that goes without saying!
man, they're remaking movies from my childhood....either I'm getting old or they're getting desperate...or both.
No, Evil Dead 2 was really a remake of Evil Dead. They keep remaking movies from my childhood too. This should probably be in the "you know you're old when"....they make movies and everyone nowadays thinks they're new...but you remember the originals!

Fuck it, why don't we just remake Jaws, ET, Raiders of the Lost Ark and Star Wars while we are at it?

the person that thought that would be a good idea should be scrubbed with a cheese grater and dumped into a vat of tabasco sauce then rinsed off with lemon juice...then kicked in the nuts by each member of the original cast
what are you but my reflection? who am i to judge or strike you down?

That's what they're all doing now. Ever since Lucas came out with the prequels to the orinal Star Wars series. Then came Batman Begins. That Wolverine prequel to X-Men. I think the movie people realize that sequels have been know to flop in the past, but prequels are a different story.
I thought that remake was appalling! To be honest I can't think of one remake that is any good (including The Departed!)- other than the French version of Fingers - The Beat My Heart Skipped http://www.imdb.com/title/tt0411270/ . Might be a couple more I've overlooked, but they are a huge rarity!

take a good look
this could be the day
hold my hand
lie beside me
i just need to say
What a puss out, crappy idea.
The worst though was the Sandman in the last Spider-man movie. Seriously, Hollywood copies anything that makes a buck, why can't they at least take a note from The Dark Night and let the bad guys be bad?

My friend was going to see Eddie last night. Since he was in Vegas, I gave him 5 Grand to gamble with. I told him I wanted it all to go on Black. Bastard! PhillyCrownOfThorns-11-2-12
