As most of you know, the moment the trailer for Nightmare on Elm Street was released, everyone had an opinion. Most of it was positive, however the detractors did appear in full force. Surprisingly, Brad Fuller of Platinum Dunes actually commented about some of things flooding the message boards
"We are continuing to refine Freddy's look", he offered. "Many people commented about the CGI on his face - and I don't want to give everything away but I will say this - Freddy's face is 98% practical make-up. Moreover, as you now know we went hardcore on what a burn victim really looks like."
It was also mentioned that Jackie Earle Haley has been working hard on the voice, saying that he is actually observing people with burnt vocal chords to make sure it is authentic.
No response to the Superman reveal of the sweater yet......
It seems silly to release a teaser trailer using unfinished footage.
I think the reason it looked like a Superman reveal was because his jacket was probably meant to be on fire.
truthfully i dont mind his look but the voice definately threw me off...btw i didnt mind the superman thing lol i thought it was good for a trailer
I'm glad they listen and hope they realize that the voice is awful. It should be scary and menacing. It sounded like an old scottish man. Needs to be fixed.
The trailer was perfect leave it alone .Freddy makeup was super the glove was awesome and the voice was right on .Don't screw with any of it leave it the way it is please .You will just mess it up
That is sweet that they are taking peoples opinions and dislikes about the voice and the burnt face.
It would be better if he said "Man it is hot in here why did I wear this jacket and sweater," then he rips it off. Lol!
Rod, you prefer a joker freddy then a more realistic, serious? I just want Freddy to be real, creepy as hell and one that will huant my mind day and night! I didn't like how Freddy became so jokerish as the series went on. I mean he can have a few lines that make you laugh. But thats it. My opinion anyways.
I was just poking fun at the Superman thing, the only part of the trailer I find awful! I did think his voice was bad but not the end of the world.
To answer your question I do not prefer the joking Freddy and I'm glad they decided to not go down that road in the remake.
I assume they're hiding his face with CGI in the trailer. Hopefully they've done a very good job with the face makeup like they did with England. The face is what makes him the scary icon he is. Keep up the good work New Line!!!
It would be cool if the jacket is on fire when he takes it off sao it seems like he had a reason to take it off
