Last night David and I were invited over to Tam and Rob’s place to hang out with them and their friends Tiffany and Brett for a fun movie night. We all wanted to do something low key so we gathered at their place for a double feature. As usual, we had a devil of a time agreeing on what movies to watch but in the end we decided first to watch a film that most of us hadn’t seen and then a classic 80s horrorfilm that we all love dearly. I gotta say, a great time was had by all.

Artist Jason Mecier has taken his love of pop culture and his love of licorice and married them in new art pieces that he created using on average 500 pieces of licorice. Here are art pieces created by Mecier of Dexter‘s Dexter Morgan (played by Michael C. Hall),Twilight star Taylor Lautner, A Nightmare on Elm Street‘s Freddy Kruger (played by Robert Englund) and Showgirls‘s Nomi Malone (played by Elizabeth Berkley):

I understand Mecier‘s licorice of choice is Red Vines and each one of his artworks is worth about $2,000. These pieces and others will be exhibited in San Francisco at an art show Mecier is doing with fellow artist Adam J. Ansell … the show is called We Like to Watch TV. I have to say, I’m quite impressed with his work … these pieces are fantastic. Licorice is one of my fave candies so … I might have to pass on shelling out for any of these pieces. My fear is one night I’ll mistakenly eat Taylor Lautner … which shouldn’t sound as dirty as it does. I love these pieces, don’t you?

David and I met up for brunch with our dear friend Gillian at Mauro’s Cafe at Fred Segal in West Hollywood, CA yesterday and ran into a few very cool celebs in the process. Mary Lynn Rajskub, star of 24 who we know was lookin’ ravishing at the show’s wrap party on Friday night, was at Fred Segal as was Madonna‘s manager Guy Oseary (with new baby in tow). We also saw the girl from those 1-800-DENTIST commercials so, all in all, it was a great brunch. Unfortch, the rules of brunch are sacred so I didn’t feel comfortable snapping pics or approaching any of these celebs … needless to say, they all looked fab :)

We spent the rest of the day putzing around but went out to see A Nightmare on Elm Street last night. Because I am a huge fan of the original, I had high hopes for this remake. In the end, I didn’t love the film … but I didn’t really hate it either. It was just meh, I guess:

This film is a deffo retelling of the original Nightmare with a few scenes that pay homage to the original film. I have to say, I did love all the little nods to the original film but, unfortch, the new material wasn’t all that good at all. The one thing that I think hurts this film the most is the poor acting on the part of, well, everyone. A successful horror film works when the actors make you believe they are in fear for their lives … I never really bought from anyone that they were seriously terrorized. Jackie Earle Haley does his very best as the new Freddy Krueger but, alas, his is a pale imitation of Robert Englund‘s masterful original version. There is nothing fresh or new in this remake, nothing that makes it stand out. I can’t even say the special effects were an upgrade because I contend there were more believably scary scenes in the original film (with early 80′s techonology) than there were in this new film. Is it worth seeing if you’re in the mood for a fun, popcorn movie night out? Yes. Is it a must see, not at all. I’m glad I went but I really don’t need to ever see it again.

This morning, I participated in the New York Times A Moment in Time project where they asked folks all around the world to snap a photo at precisely 8AM PT (11AM ET) and submit it to the newspaper so that a composite mosaic could be put together of this one “moment in time”. Here is the photo I snapped and submitted:

I’m really curious to see what other photos were snapped and shared. I’ll do my best to pass along info from the Times when they start sharing the photos that were taken today.

Ahhh … it’s a lazy Sunday, y’all. I’m planning on doing nothing at all. I hope your day is a great one!

Last night members of the principal cast of the new version of A Nightmare on Elm Street convened at Grauman’s Chinese Theatre for the Hollywood premiere of their new film. Altho the movie is a remake of the horror 80′s classic, it turns out that the premiere itself wasn’t all that scary at all:

Three days shy of the U.S. release of “A Nightmare on Elm Street”, Warner Bros. Pictures has held the Los Angeles premiere of the movie on Tuesday, April 27. Taking place at Grauman’s Chinese Theatre, the event uses black carpet to welcome all the guests. Despite the dark-colored carpet, the cast and crew show cheerful faces when spotted at the event. Jackie Earle Haley, Rooney Mara, Thomas Dekker and Kyle Gallner gather in front of a giant poster of the movie to pose for cameras. In another shot, Haley who plays Freddy Krueger is seen playfully pointing a fake razor glove to the depicter of Nancy, Mara. Director Samuel Bayer, producer Michael Bay as well as Toby Emmerich from New Line Cinema also showed up at the special screening. Additionally, the event is supported by the presence of some celebrity guests such as Kendra Wilkinson, BooBoo Stewart and Christopher Mintz-Plasse. “A Nightmare on Elm Street” is serving as the remake of Wes Craven’s 1984 film with the same title. The upcoming horror film, which will hit U.S. theaters on April 30, sees Freddy returning to hunt suburban teenagers, including Nancy and her boyfriend Quentin, and kill them through their dreams. Trying to stay away from death, they struggle not to fall asleep.

Okay, so the premiere may not have been all that scary but I’m sure hoping the film itself will scare the hell out of me. The original kinda ruined my sleep for weeks after I saw it (many, many years ago) so it’d be fun if this remake can live up to that standard. I’m not sure when I’ll make my way out to the theater to see Nightmare but I’m pretty sure I’ll be seeing it this weekend at some point. Are any of y’all planning to see A Nightmare on Elm Street this weekend as well?

The new version of the classic 80′s horror film A Nightmare on Elm Street opens in theaters next Friday April 30 but today we get to check one more very cool (tho EXTREMELY irritating) promo item to get us jazzed for the film’s release. Motion posters are all the rage these days, Terminator: Salvation had one, SAW VI had one and now A Nightmare on Elm Street has one:

As you may know, motion posters can only exist online because they are not static images only. Motion posters employ motion and sound to create a more attention-grabbing promo experience … and they are very effective. The new motion poster for Nightmare is just the kind of freaky, creepy and EXTREMELY irritating experience that will surely heighten your excitement (and anxiety) for the film. After the jump, check out this very cool new motion poster — in order to experience it properly, make sure you have the sound on your computer turned way up before you click thru …

With the remake of A Nightmare on Elm Street hitting theaters on April 30, we should be ready to be inundated with a bunch of Nightmare promo items and product tie-ins … like, for example, the new Freddy Krueger action figures which will be made available for sale very soon! Here is our first look at the scary Krueger action figure along with a review by Jorge Pelaez:

On April 30th, Warner Bros. is set to release the new Nightmare on Elm Street remake starring Jackie Earle Haley as Freddy Krueger. In anticipation of this brand new take on the Elm Street story, NECA brings us not one, but two action figures of the famed killer: A realistic figure of him as Fred Krueger before he was burned, and another figure depicting him in all his charred glory as Freddy Kueger.

PACKAGING: Both figures are packaged in the standard rectangular clamshell packaging that has become a standard with NECA. The package is surrounded by different images from the new film and features a miniature version of the first teaser poster on the front side of the package insert.

SCULPTING: Although the film has not yet been released, the full movie trailer reveals enough of Freddy to get a good idea of what he looks like. NECA’s sculpt work on the Freddy figure seems to be dead-on to what he looks like in the movie. Freddy’s new burnt look more accurately portrays a true burn victim’s face – melted flesh and very little facial characteristics. This is very different from the make-up Robert Englund wore in the previous Nightmare films which preserved the actor’s facial features and simply added scarring and tears all around. Freddy’s sweater is finely detailed and has a rrealistic fabric texture which makes it look as if it were made of cotton rather than plastic. The fedora is made of flexible rubber and can be placed on Freddy’s head in many different ways. The new bladed glove is highly detailed and does not look bad for such a particularly small piece. The heads sculpts on Fred and Freddy Krueger are both well done, but the pre-Freddy head is amazing – bearing an uncanny likeness to actor Jackie Earle Haley.

PAINT: NECA has done a fantastic job with the detailing and color application on both figures. The Freddy heads are both painted in a hyper-realistic way and the detailing on the eyes particularly stands out in contrast with his burned face. The burned and tattered sweater is painted exceptionally well with plenty of dry-brushing and washes which make it look as if it were a real sweater.

Check out a couple other photos of the new Freddy Krueger dolls and read more deets about the figures after the jump …

Earlier this week we got our first look at the newest movie poster for the new remake of the 80′s classic horror film A Nightmare on Elm Street and today we get our first look at the final trailer to be released before the film opens in April. Here are a few screencaps from the just released trailer:

Twilight/Calvin Klein Underwear/PETA star Kellan Lutz is featured in this trailer and, I’m thinkin’ he ain’t gonna get outta this one alive. Last September, we got to see the first teaser trailer for Nightmare and, I’m happy to report, this trailer looks much better. Check it out in full after the jump …

Last July we got to see the first teaser poster for the new remake version of the classic 80′s horror film A Nightmare on Elm Street and in September of last year we got to see the first movie trailer for the film. Today, just about 2 months from the film’s release in theaters, we get our first look at the first official movie poster for Nightmare:

While Warner Bros. Pictures A Nightmare on Elm Street doesn’t arrive in theaters until April 30, the studio wants you to dream of the day by torturing us with all sorts of goodies from the forthcoming redo … this evening you’ll be dreaming of good ol’ Freddy Krueger (Jackie Earle Haley) thanks to this brand spanking new one sheet! Watch MySpace Thursday for the final trailer.

“A group of suburban teenagers share one common bond: they are all being stalked by Freddy Krueger (Jackie Earle Haley), a horribly disfigured killer who hunts them in their dreams. As long as they stay awake, they can protect one another…but when they sleep, there is no escape.”

Nice poster but I’m still reserving judgment. I’m very curious to see what the upcoming new movie trailer looks like … while I liked the one we saw last September, I really don’t think it holds up to the original film. I’m cautiously optimistic that the film will be fun but I highly doubt it will surpass the classic original. What do y’all think of this poster … are you skerred?

Back in July we got our first look at the remake of the classic 80′s horror film A Nightmare on Elm Street and then shortly thereafter (to coincide with San Diego Comic Con) we got to see the first teaser poster from the film. Today My Space Trailer Park brings us our first look at the trailer video for the redux … here are a few screencaps:

Let’s be honest … the original Nightmare is just an untouchable classic film. There is no way any redux will ever be able to take its place or top it … so with that in mind, let’s just not expect the world from this remake. The trailer seems to have all the bases covered but … I dunno … it just doesn’t come close to the original film in my book. The new Freddie‘s voice in this redux is going to take some getting used to … I mean, I’m intrigued by this film but I’ve yet to be blown away. After the jump, check out the video trailer in full to see for yourselves …

Yesterday we got our first look at the new Freddy Krueger (played by Jackie Earle Haley) in the redux of the hit slasher horror flick A Nightmare On Elm Street and today we get to check out the first teaser poster for the film:

Much like the first promo pic from Nightmare that we saw yesterday, the fact that Freddy‘s face is totally obscured adds to the creepiness. I’m cautiously optimistic that this redux will be cool … I have much faith that Jackie Earle Haley will make a great Freddy Krueger (after all, he was amazing as Rorschach in Watchmen). I can’t wait to see video footage of him in action.

Additionally, Pink reader Erin sends in a photo of her high school Elk Grove in Illinois which was used as the fictional Springwood High School in the movie:

She writes: I’ve included a picture of what it normally looks like. It’s called Elk Grove High School in Illinois. Just outside of Chicago. The second picture shows they changed it to Springwood high school.

So cool … I’m sure the folks in this community (well, the younger members of the community) are geeked that the new version of A Nightmare On Elm Street was filmed in their town. Now that Comic-Con in San Diego, CA is in full swing we should be hearing a lot more about this film very soon. So far … I like what I see.
