Many media and news sites have posted previews of their visits to the “Nightmare on Elm Street” set, and included this brand new title treatment for the film. Below is a compilation of some the sites that will be posting full set visit reports in the coming days:

Bloody-Disgusting.com – The Midwest. It’s hot, it’s cold, it’s raining, it’s thundering, and goddamn are the mosquitoes out for blood – they aren’t the only ones. Sitting in a make-up truck outside of an old abandoned church in Gary, IN is Jackie Earle Haley, who within four hours time will be transformed into Freddy Krueger, the iconic child molester that has been tearing up the big screen with his patent razor-glove for 25 years now. (First look at Jackie Earle Haley as Freddy here too)

IESB.net – Starring as leads Nancy, the girl next door, and Quentin, the Johnny Depp equivalent, are Rooney Mara and Kyle Gallner fresh faces to the world of horror films. We spoke with both Rooney and Kyle while on set to see if they were fans of the original film, but alas they weren’t even alive yet. Man, that dates me…

MovieHole – Platinum Dunes producers Brad Fuller and Andrew Form are telling Moviehole that this take on Elm Street is much more brutal and realistic than its predecessors. “I think that if we’re going to try and restart this franchise or at least bring our take to the franchise, it had to be different from what the other one was,” said Form. “It felt like the first Nightmare on Elm Street was kind of a scary, straight ahead horror movie, and then as they went on, they became more funny. In an effort to differentiate ours from what it had become, we wanted ours to feel much more real.”

Shock ‘Til You Drop – In June, this writer took a trip into a dreamscape. Not a picturesque vision of gorgeous women, classic rock and flowing beer (hey, I’ve got my fantasies, you’ve got yours). What I speak of is covered in soot, scratches, child-like drawings on stained chalkboards, candlelight, decay and infected with a maniac who creeps about in a red and green sweater, a fedora and a hand-crafted glove with imposing knives for fingers that has become as iconic as the man wearing them since both were introduced by Wes Craven in 1984’s A Nightmare on Elm Street. For the first time in my career, I was on the set of a Freddy Krueger film. Granted, not an entry in the original franchise that I had nursed on during my budding years as a horror fan, but a picture that signals a fresh start for a new generation.

We will alert you when the full set reports are online! :)
