For those fans that were lucky enough to make it to Comic Con? You’ve seen the footage for the movie that was released. To those that weren’t? It appears we’ll have to wait. Warner Bros has asked that the footage not be shown outside of Comic Con. This is heartbreaking for those of us that couldn’t make it, but perhaps WB will see how much they’ll lose by not sharing it. (Really, I don’t think Comic Con fans should get special treatment).

I don’t have the footage of the Comic Con discussion panel, sadly Thomas wasn’t there but it still gives you a bit of insight to the movie. Also, the official A Nightmare on Elm Street site has been launched and I have added the poster to the gallery. Hopefully as the year progresses we get a little more to add.

Just a few little snippets about the remake of Nightmare that Thomas is in. I am trying to decide whether to be happy about one of my favorite childhood horror icons being remade or to be repulsed and wanting to bop them for even trying. I’m kind of torn here.

Lutz, who played Emmet Cullen in “Twilight, will play a high school jock; Dekker, from the “Terminator” television show, will play a guy who is trying to get back together with his girlfriend and Haley will be playing Freddy Krueger.

As long as Thomas doesn’t play a puppy dog pining too much…that doesn’t sound like a bad role.

“The lead boy (Thomas Dekker) is the kid from “The Sarah Connor Chronicles,” a show that I was a big fan of that recently got canceled so I really like the casting choices. “

From Robert Englund’s mouth directly in a interview. That makes me quite pleased. If Robert has faith, maybe all of us should.

I found this little article someone wrote and how they felt about Thomas’s character in MSK, please be advised that the following contains somewhat spoilers to the movie and should be read at your own risk:

However, the inclusion of the Taylor Ambrose storyline was amazing and very well done. When he looks into her eyes and she tells him she’s relapsing, the expression on his face just killed me. I was hunched over the theatre seat, trying to be quiet while keeping the tears from running down my neck. The scene in which he comes to joke with her as she starts chemotherapy again, then swoops in to rescue her with the pink basin and wipes her face gently… I could barely breathe, it was so moving. Thomas Dekker did such a fantastic job as Taylor that I didn’t even recognize him as John Connor from “Terminator: The Sarah Connor Chronicles” or Zach from “Heroes”! I even found myself hoping that these characters would find each other again after death as I wandered drearily out of the movie theater.

Seems all Thomas is getting is wonderful reviews for his part, I myself really connected to his character when I saw it. It’s a very touching film and while even I’m not into chick flicks? This is one that I’ll be buying for sure when it’s released. Not because it’s Thomas, but because the entire story is beautiful (it also prompted me to read the book too)
