The Nightmare on Elm Street reboot has finally found itself a director!
The Michael Bay-owned Platinum Dunes production company, the peeps behind the remake, has put their faith in music video director Samuel Bayer. Bayer is responsible for such iconic vids as Nirvana’s Smells Like Teen Spirit and Blind Melon’s No Rain.
Producers Brad Fuller and Andrew Form had said in an interview that they sought a director who could visually blend the conscious and the subconscious. Sounds like Bayer’s resume fits the bill!
Another challenge to the filmmakers is filling the role of Freddy Krueger himself, since the original’s Robert Englund will not be returning.
Sounds like they’re on their way to making a worthy reboot!
