With Halloween just a few weeks away, we’re totally stoked to add the chilling revamp of “A Nightmare on Elm Street” to our collection of seasonally scary movies. And just in time for the DVD release, Hollywood Crush has an EXCLUSIVE behind-the-scenes look at Freddy’s latest horror show, with stars Kellan Lutz and Katie Cassidy talking about the not-quite-uncrossable line between a bad dream and a waking nightmare.
As primary victim Dean Russell, Kellan Lutz describes his wholesome character as “the one you want to root for”—while we get an up-close-and-personal look at his confrontation with Jackie Earle Haley’s gruesome Krueger.
“You sense a lot of issues going on,” Kellan says, as he talks about his role. “He’s just mentally messed up.”
No argument here! If we couldn’t fall asleep because some claw-handed dude with a face like shredded meat was trying to kill us, we’d be pretty messed up, too.
The clip then moves on to an interview with Katie Cassidy, who plays Kris Fowles and tells us that Kris is “the only character that’s so much like the original ['A Nightmare on Elm Street'].” The footage shows her in character and starting out skeptical, telling Kellan that it’s all just a dream…only to come back and find him in the grip of a Freddy-induced nightmare and trying to stab himself with an eating utensil.
“Physically, emotionally, my character always ends up in the worst situations,” she explains. Katie is clearly in tip-top form for the film, as we see her running away from Freddy, fighting Freddy and then running away from Freddy some more after finding out just what kind of horrible things happen when you let a psychopathic knife-wielding nightmare man get cuddly with your Norwich Terrier.
But while Kris might be the character that’s most true to the original “Nightmare” franchise, Freddy Krueger’s sadistic-yet-cheesy sense of humor has also made it to 2010 without any change. While she screams and bolts, he calls after her, “I was just petting him!”
Oh Kellan. I know you are a cutie but I can’t watch these films. I am a chicken.
Twilight Saga star Kellan Lutz sat down to discuss his latest role in the remake of the horror classic A Nightmare On Elm Street and what it was like working with Jackie Earle Haley and his old friend Katie Cassidy.
Check out the cool T-shirt. I swear the more I know about Kellan Lutz the more I like him as a person. Great little video about Kellan and his charity goals, Xavier Samuel’s prep for kissing Victoria in Eclipse, and more.
“A Nightmare on Elm Street,” starring Kellan Lutz, took in an estimated $15.8 million on its opening night Friday (April 30), which puts it on pace for an opening weekend in the $35 million range. The Friday total includes $1.6 million from midnight showings on Thursday.
5 movie clips and 3 TV spots from A Nightmare on Elm Street, staring our beloved Kellan Lutz, who I think needs some love after the Tribeca Film Festival. (I’ll get to that later.)
Warner Bros. has released a number of new photos for A Nightmare on Elm Street remake but only this one shows Kellan Lutz.
The movie is doing its press junket this weekend in Los Angeles so hopefully there will be more pics with Kellan. It opens next week on Friday, April 30.
New footage from the movie Nightmare on Elm Street, featuring our Kellan Lutz, was previewed at the 2010 WonderCon in San Fransisco and the soundtrack listing has been unveiled. It opens with the same part which shows Dean falling asleep at an eatery and attacked by Freddy Krueger before he is awaken by Rooney Mara’s Nancy Thompson, but the rest shows scenes which have never been previewed before.
Footage of Kellan Lutz on The Jimmy Kimmel show, in case you didn’t catch it on TV. This is soo cute! He is so funny (klutz, slutz….) and, man, does he look good when he walks out! Anyone know his grandparents for some of those shots of him with the pigs?
Kellan Lutz told MTV News that the 1984 version of Freddy Krueger in “A Nightmare on Elm Street” really frightened him.
“”That was one of the movies that actually scared me growing up. My brothers were the biggest threat growing up with all the poundings, but Jason and Chucky weren’t too scary. I laughed at them. Clowns are funny to me.
But something that can attack you in your sleep, that’s scary because how do you fight that off? You’re sleeping.”
