That's one thing the filmmakers did absolutely correct for this remake. It does, however, make it all the more disappointing about the direction the story ended up going in, considering that Haley's character in Little Children was sympathetic.<br /><br />re: Taylor Swift. Lol, that's funny. I had no idea how old she was. I dunno, I guess I associate "20 years old" with college coeds, and she looked a little more mature than your average college coed (which is decidedly a compliment). I dunno. It doesn't help that Hollywood so consistently screws with people's heads by casting characters (especially young characters) with actors of disparate age. I've always thought Taylor Swift was pretty, though, whatever age she is and whatever age she wants to be. :-3zharthhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/09995423745639356980noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3845713942442113471.post-9455968116396801572013-11-07T15:52:51.378-05:002013-11-07T15:52:51.378-05:00Great overview.

She didn't really have... anything in common with the original Nancy, as far as I could see. But she was cool. I think they based her more off of the Dream Master girl from the third and fourth films. Shy, kind of the odd girl out, thoughtful and perceptive. Wasn't the idea of the remake to combine the best parts of the first few films in the series, or was that only F13 who did that?<br /><br />Forgive me but I do have to ask... does Taylor Swift really look 25? 'Cause in 2010 she was 20. She definitely has an ellegance (and tallness) to her that make her look older though.<br /><br />What I'm pissed about is this is the remake I DIDN'T buy and it turns out to be the one I like the most. It's just that, after FvJ I liked Robert Englund's Freddy so much I didn't want to give a new Freddy portrayal a chance. At the time I didn't realize how much more I like the Nightmare series than the others... <br /><br />But the new Freddy definitely does a good job. His physique/make-up I'm not 100% sold on (he looked really smooth, almost like an alien). But I loved the deep voice, very creepy. And I loved the backstory, even if they messed it up at the 11th hour.<br /><br />I don't think there's much chance of a sequel but I'd really like there to be one. I mean there has to be SOME new Nightmare movie at some point, these slashers have gone on so long they (like their villains) will never die forever. But at this point unfortunately I think the most likely possibility for the next Nightmare film would simply be another new reboot. I don't mind horror remakes what-so-ever (I quite like them actually), but I can't stand instant reboots. Give one version some time to breath before you press reset and do it all over again!
