Despite the atmospheric black carpet used to welcome the guests, spirits were high and the mood was celebratory as the cast members, guests and well-wishers made their way down the carpet. The Stars of the film, Jackie Earle Haley, Rooney Mara, Thomas Dekker, Kyle Gallner, Clancy Brown, Connie Britton were all in attendance and walked the carpet. Others connected with the film and making an appearance included Director of the film Samuel Bayer, producer Michael Bay as well as Toby Emmerich from New Line Cinema.
Plenty of celebrity guests were on hand as well to lend support including Kendra Wilkinson and Hank Baskett, Jordana Brewster, Kid Kudi, Shannon Elizabeth, Carla Gugino, Christopher Mintz-Plasse, Nicky Whelan, Efren Ramirez, Bridget Marquardt and many others.
The Oscar nominated actor knows that many fans of the horror series will always see Robert Englund as Kruger. Speaking at the premiere and when asked about the role of Freddy Krueger, Jackie Earle Haley comments " I thought that the script was really tight. It's really grown and gotten a lot tighter since then but I just thought that it was a very sound script, a good story and of course the notion of getting to reintroduce 'Nightmare on Elm Street' to a new generation. Also, getting to make it today with today's kind of film making capabilities combined with the fact of getting to play Freddy Krueger, one of the most iconic characters in the world, it's like, 'Yeah, man. Lets go do it.'
About the film: Nancy, Kris, Quentin, Jesse and
Dean all live on Elm Street. At night, they’re all having the same
dream—of the same man, wearing a tattered red and green striped sweater,
a beaten fedora half-concealing a disfigured face and a gardener’s
glove with knives for fingers. And they’re all hearing the same
frightening voice…
One by one, he terrorizes them within the
curved walls of their dreams, where the rules are his, and the only way
out is to wake up.
But when one of their number dies a violent
death, they soon realize that what happens in their dreams happens for
real, and the only way to stay alive is to stay awake. Turning to each
other, the four surviving friends try to uncover how they became part of
this dark fairytale, hunted by this dark man. Functioning on little to
no sleep, they struggle to understand why them, why now, and what their
parents aren’t telling them.
Buried in their past is a debt
that has just come due, and to save themselves, they will have to plunge
themselves into the mind of the most twisted nightmare of all… Freddy
Krueger.
