Casting Calls for ‘Elm Street’ Remake

Casting has begun for Platinum Dunes and New Line’s remake of ‘A Nightmare on Elm Street’.   Bloody Disgusting got their paws on the casting call.   Here’s what to expect from the characters and who the producers are looking for:

[FREDDY KRUEGER] (40s) The fedora-wearing villain of children’s nightmares. He’’s taunting and vindictive. He’s the last person you want to see in your dreams…

[KRIS] 18, attractive, hot, sexy and confident. She’s smart and curious. She’s also the type of girl who has to figure things out when they don’t make sense…

[QUENTIN] (18) Mysterious, smart and cool. Think indie type guy. He runs the school podcast, “Insomnia Radio†. Think Johnny Depp…

[NANCY] (18) Attractive, interesting, and intriguing. Very smart. Not terribly social. There’s one in every class. The pretty-girl image is not her priority. Getting out of town after graduation is…

[DEAN] (18) He’s the school jock. Attractive. He’’s the kid that lives in the two-story home on the street that screams “Rich Suburbia.† He’s the guy that everyone seems to love…

[JESSE] (18) – Alpha male. Cool, attractive. He used to date Kris, and he’s still trying to get back together – even though they’ve broken up about 4 times already…

“Think Johnny Depp…?”   Glad to see they’re thinking outside the box on this one.

The remake is set to be directed by Samuel Bayer from a screenplay by Wesley Strick.   Shooting officially begins April 27th in Chicago, IL.
