Nine days and counting until Freddy bloodies our slumber!
As such, New Line and WB are rolling out their penultimate marketing stint for the flick. Today alone, we’ve seen a new still of a tormented Nancy, as well as an extended official gallery for the film. Better chalk up a third, because a pretty cool looking motion poster of our man Krueger slashing his way through a pane of glass has just debuted at the official site for the film (find it at the bottom of the page). Beware though, this shite ain’t too kind on the ears!
Carving theaters April 30th, Samuel Bayer’s revival of A NIGHTMARE ON ELM STREET revolves around Nancy, Kris, Quentin, Jesse, and Dean, who 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.
Rooney Mara, Katie Cassidy, Kyle Gallner, Kellan Lutz, Thomas Dekker, Connie Britton, Clancy Brown, Lia D. Mortensen and Christian Stolte all play a role in the film.
Take a stroll down ELM April 30th!
