    Good the old Nancy was a terrible over-actress and ugly as f*ck to boot. Heather Langencamp was homely as hell that huge gap between her teeth and those caterpillar eyebrows combined with 80's style hair and clothes were not flattering. I'm not really against this remake Platinum Dunes did a good job with Texas Chainsaw and Friday The 13th so i really have no fears here. Jackie Earle Hailey will make the movie though.

    yeah i got to see a trailer before i can make up my mind about this, i personally like the old one;s because the technology wasent really theirm so the effects were gritty and raw, i think that is what gave it its amazing look, i just hope they dot over do the cgi in this, cause freddy vs jason suck, freddy became a ninja all of a suddenly and jason got dumber than he already was, i hope they do right by this

    OMG, This is who they've got to replace, Nancy.

    Oh Lordy, this is going to be dreadful, Tina ok i would have acceptted because she is the first to be killed off in the original. But watching a Rooney Mara performance as a lead and for approximately 90mins is awful...
    She won't fill these shoes, mate. God why do they keep getting these awful soap stars for these remakes...

    Jackie has officially power-performed this film, its the only thing worth seeing it for, Platinum Dunes your wankers, make your own damn horror films and stop remaking the classics.
