Actress Connie Britton, star of Platinum Dunes upcoming
Nightmare On Elm Street, chatted recently with NY Post during their Pop Wrap column, and talked a bit about the upcoming redo of Wes Craven's classic slasher pic, which hits cinemas April 30th. Among the things Britton, who plays Nancy's mother in the film -- mentioned in the chat, one thing stands out...the fact that she's never seen the original "A Nightmare On Elm Street"! "You are going to be shocked to hear this: I'd never seen "Elm Street" before we started shooting. Isn't that funny?" she says. "That was my intention, but also because I'm a scaredy cat. I've known Rob Zombie for a long time and he's always been telling me, 'Connie, you gotta make a horror movie!' But I was still too chicken. But when I heard Jackie Earle Haley was doing Freddy, I thought that this was the time. But in retrospect, now that I've seen a good part of the original, it made no difference because what we do in the new one is so substantially different." |
You can read the full article by visiting the Post above. So whaddaya say guys, shocked, aloof, or disturbed at the fact that she went into shooting the remake without having seen the original "Elm Street"? Talk about it in our forums below! "Elm Street" redux also stars Kyle Gallner, Jackie Earle Haley, Thomas Dekker, Rooney Mara, Katie Cassidy, Kellan Lutz, and Clancy Brown. In the movie, Freddy Krueger returns in "A Nightmare On Elm Street", a contemporary re-imagining of horror classic. A group of suburban teenagers share one common bond: They are all being stalked by Freddy Krueger, a horribly disfigured killer who hunts them in their dreams. As long as they stay awake, they can protect one another. But when they sleep....there is no escape.
