Nightmare on Elm Street Banner

Warner Bros. has unveiled a new banner for the highly anticipated reboot of A Nightmare on Elm Street. Horror classic from 1984 was directed by Wes Craven. The new movie is directed by first-time filmmaker Samuel Bayer from the script by Wesley Strick, later revised by Eric Heissere. The horror icon Freddy Krueger (Jackie Earle Haley – Lit­tle Chil­dren, Watch­men, Winged Creatures, Shutter Island) is a serial-killer who wields a glove with four blades embedded in the fingers and kills people in their dreams, resulting in their real death in reality. As long as they stay awake, they can pro­tect one an­oth­er…but when they sleep, there is no es­cape but He knows where you sleep. The teens whose dreams are ter­ror­ized by Fred­dy Krueger are played by an en­sem­ble of young ac­tors, in­clud­ing Kyle Gall­ner (“The Haunt­ing in Con­necti­cut”), Katie Cas­sidy (“Tak­en,” TV's “Su­per­nat­u­ral”), Rooney Mara (“Ur­ban Leg­end: Bloody Mary”), Thomas Dekker (“Ter­mi­na­tor: The Sarah Con­nor Chron­i­cles”), and Kel­lan Lutz (“Twi­light,” up­com­ing “The Twi­light Saga: New Moon”). The sup­port­ing cast al­so in­cludes vet­er­an char­ac­ter ac­tor Clan­cy Brown (“The Shaw­shank Re­demp­tion,” “High­lander”) and Con­nie Brit­ton (“Fri­day Night Lights”). A Nightmare on Elm Street hits theaters on April 30, 2010.
