Added the first wave of images of Thomas at the premiere for the movie this evening, I’m really loving that scruffy look.

Events >> 2010 >> A Nightmare on Elm Street Premiere

Thomas Dekker is quickly becoming an expert on reinventing classic characters from our childhood. He played teenage John Connor in, I’ll just say it, the best non-James Cameron Terminator sequel, TV’s The Sarah Connor Chronicles. Now he’s one of the Elm Street children in the new Nightmare on Elm Street.

“I think this movie is made for the generation that the original films aren’t working for anymore,” Dekker said. “That’s the bottom line. The people who loved this film and hold the original film, especially at the beginning of the series, they hold it in their hearts with a lot of love, regardless of the camp, or the comedy, or the humor. But the kids of today watch the original and find it funny, it doesn’t scare them. And that’s a shame because the idea is still terrifying and the idea, maybe, exceeds the execution that this generation is used to. So I think this remake’s purpose is to reinvent this idea, and still terrify a generation that the original isn’t working for anymore.”

Jackie Earle Haley terrorizes the new batch of kids as Freddy Krueger. “I just felt bad for him,” Dekker said. “I think I was too busy feeling sorry for him being in that prosthetic and trying to shoot as fast as we could so he could get out of it. Although when he was chasing me or screaming at me, it was kind of [scary]. Then halfway through, we were all kind of just, ‘Whatever…’”

With a hint at his own death scene, Dekker revealed Haley’s behind the scenes care for the kids he was terrorizing. “The worst thing was, he’d be in the make-up and you’d be so nice. I’m hanging upside down, and he’s supposed to be menacing and he’d be like, ‘This kid’s been up there too long, get him down!’ Freddy’s a nice guy.”

New Line passed along the official, extended synopsis for A Nightmare on Elm Street, in case you needed a refresher as to what the movie is about.

Nancy (Rooney Mara), Kris (Katie Cassidy), Quentin (Kyle Gallner), Jesse (Thomas Dekker) and Dean (Kellan Lutz) all live on Elm Street. At night, they’re all having the same dream – of the same man, wearing a tattered red and green striped sweater, a beaten fedora half-concealing a disfigured face and a gardener’s glove with knives for fingers. And they’re all hearing the same frightening voice…

One by one, he terrorizes them within the curved walls of their dreams, where the rules are his, and the only way out is to wake up.

But when one of their number dies a violent death, they soon realize that what happens in their dreams happens for real, and the only way to stay alive is to stay awake. Turning to each other, the four surviving friends try to uncover how they became part of this dark fairytale, hunted by this dark man. Functioning on little to no sleep, they struggle to understand why them, why now, and what their parents aren’t telling them.

Buried in their past is a debt that has just come due, and to save themselves, they will have to plunge themselves into the mind of the most twisted nightmare of all… Freddy Krueger.

I will possibly be attending this event, right now it’s unsure but if I do I will be a very happy camper.

As you can see, we have a new layout done by Daxter Studios. I apologize for the image mapping not being done, but I haven’t quite mastered that in image slicing yet! It’s very bright and springy, which is what I wanted to take us out of the winter blues.

A new photoshoot has been added, while it’s not technically a shoot, I listed it as such until I find out a better category to place it in. It’s a promo shoot of the cast from All About Evil

Photoshoots >> Session 011

The writer behind Watchmen and X-Men is getting behind the camera for Wolves.

When we last heard about David Hayter’s project, it was known as Slaughter’s Road and had both Thomas Dekker and Ray Stevenson attached to star. Since then, things have changed. The film found a new home at TF1 and Winchester and sports the aforementioned new title. Hayter is expected to begin rolling this July. It’s unknown if Dekker and Stevenson are still involved.

Hayter tells Deadline Wolves is like “Twilight with a bit more bite to it, and without abstinence.” He’ll produce through his Dark Hero banner.

Another little nugget within Deadline’s piece about Wolves…Hayter is also looking to resurrect the Deadworld zombie comic book property and finally give it life on the big screen.

I certainly hope Thomas is still involved, would love to see him in more movies.
