Wes Craven told MovieHole.net that he will not be checking out the new A Nightmare on Elm Street remake.

Craven says, "That’d be a tough one to re-see... If you move on from the films you’ve made - which I have tried always to move on - then it’s like, 'That’s in the past. It’s had his life.'

"If they make a better film, maybe it will eclipse the original. I don’t know. If they don’t, then the original will look even better."

The Hollywood Reporter's Risky Business Blog has announced that Samuel Bayer will be directing Platinum Dunes remake of A Nightmare on Elm Street. He is best known for directing Nirvana's award-winning "Smells Like Teen Spirit" video.
