Samuel Bayer has had a long, illustrious career as a music video director (Nirvana's "Smells Like Teen Spirit" is his most famous), but has had a bit of trouble getting a feature film greenlit. He came close to reuniting Die Hard With a Vengeance stars Bruce Willis and Samuel L. Jackson for Black Water Transit, but that fell through due to "creative differences." He's finally making his feature film debut with the A Nightmare on Elm Street reboot. It stars Jackie Earle Haley (cool!) and is produced by Michael Bay (eek!). I think it looks pretty cool, but I thought the same about the Bay-produced Texas Chainsaw Massacre remake, and that was the worst film of 2003.
Here's the trailer for the new Elm Street and here's hoping it lives up to expectations:
