Michael Bay’s production company, Platinum Dunes – who’ve previously produced remakes of Friday the 13th, The Hitcher, Texas Chainsaw Massacre, etc. – have announced they’ll be remaking, er, rebooting, A Nightmare on Elm Street.  They say it won’t be your grandma’s Freddy Krueger movie (probably because it’ll be your retarded nephew’s Freddy Krueger movie).

“It’s not Freddy cracking jokes. We want to make a horrifying movie. The concept is so scary, don’t fall asleep or you’ll die. This guy gets you when you’re most vulnerable, in your sleep. We love that. That’s the basis of the movie. It’ll be most similar to the first one but in terms of kills and dreams we’ll borrow from the entire series.” [via Shocktillyoudrop]

We love that movie, that’s why we’re going to make another movie about that movie. This is what passes for inspiration nowadays. I really liked that scene in Risky Business, so I remade it.  Pretty smart, right? Look, I don’t wanna sound too harsh here, but everyone at Platinum Dunes needs f-ck off and get a real job.
