Warner distribution president Dan Fellman told The Wrap, that A Nightmare on Elm Street's $30 million take this weekend "is the largest horror opening in the April-May corridor, and it just proves there’s a lot left in the franchise," insinuating there will be a sequel even though there is no planned story or direction yet.

Let's get this out of the way: Jackie Earle Haley is not Robert Englund. It was common knowledge when the reboot was announced that they would cast someone new as Freddy Krueger. I will admit, even I was saddened by the news. Let's face it, would you have wanted Sean Connery as James Bond in Quantam of Solace? No. And not because he's too old. I'm certain he could still pull it off. It's becasue the new 007 movies have taken a different direction. Englund could be Freddy again with both hands tied behind his back. But this is not the old Nightmare on Elm Street.

Bloody Disgusting published two interviews today; one video interview featuring A Nightmare on Elm Street stars Thomas Dekker, Rooney Mara, and Kyle Gallner, and a text interview with the new Freddy himself, Jackie Earle Haley. Check out the video interview below and read Haley's interview here.

Synopsis:

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.
