Empire magazine has an annual "Done in 60 Seconds" competiton, asking readers to submit minute long homages to classic and recent films. This year, one of the contestants gave a minute long version of the original A Nightmare On Elm Stree". While it is not the best submission, and is clearly played for laughs, they were able to feature all the best moments into the film (minus Tina's death and some very bad acting).

While it has been alleged that Jackie Earle Haley has signed a three picture deal to play Freddy Krueger, the director of the yet to be released first film, Samuel Bayer, has said he will not come back for another stroll down Elm Street. When interviewed by /Film, Bayer said:

Freddy Krueger returns in A Nightmare on Elm Street, a contemporary re-imagining of the horror classic. A group of surburban teenagers share one common bond: they are all being stalked by Freddy Krueger, 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.

In theaters April 30, 2010.

MySpace released a new poster for A Nightmare on Elm Street today. It looks a lot like the teaser we were given a few months back, but Freddy is a little clearer and we get less glove action. I'm still trying to understand why Krueger's other hand isn't burnt. As previously mentioned, a new trailer will debut in front of The Crazies. It will also debut on MySpace a day early.
