Update: Blurry, Skewed Look At Alternate ‘Nightmare’ Trailer, Brand New Poster!
Updated with a look at yet another new poster! Update #2: HD trailer now inside. Well this will either be pulled or replaced with an official one, so it’s your call if you want to watch a new cut of the trailer for Platinum Dunes’ A Nightmare on Elm Street remake, which hits theaters in just under four weeks. As always, the Dunes has put together a pretty slick trailer – will the movie live up to it? Still think Jackie’s voice is too Rorschach-y, but supposedly they are still working on the film, so maybe it’s not final. What do you guys think? And how long will the comments thread last before it turns into a Bay-bash?

Christopher Landon to Helm Feature Adaptation of Grady Hendrix’s ‘The Final Girl Support Group’
A new feature adaptation of author Grady Hendrix‘s slasher book The Final Girl Support Group is now on the way from Paramount Pictures, and Deadline reports that it’s found its director in Christopher Landon (Drop, Happy Death Day).
The two previously collaborated on My Best Friend’s Exorcism.
In The Final Girl Support Group, “Lynette is a real-life final girl who survived a massacre. For more than a decade, she’s been meeting with five other final girls and their therapist in a support group for those who survived the unthinkable, working to put their lives back together. Then one woman misses a meeting, and their worst fears are realized—someone knows about the group and is determined to rip their lives apart again, piece by piece.”
“But the thing about final girls is that no matter how bad the odds, how dark the night, how sharp the knife, they will never, ever give up.”
I wrote in my novel review for BD, “Hendrix puts his characters through the absolute wringer. It’s a bloody, vicious voyage for the flawed heroine, both physically and emotionally. In terms of action and horror, Support Group delivers breakneck pacing and thrills.”
Five years ago, Andy Muschietti & Barbara Muschietti (Mama, It, It Chapter Two) were attached to produce a planned series adaptation for HBO Max alongside Charlize Theron. While Theron is no longer producing, the Muschiettis remain on board under their Double Dream label.
Paramount Pictures is also developing Hendrix’s sci-fi novella, BadAsstronauts.
