Might Freddy Krueger Smell Like Teen Spirit?
The Hollywood Reporter’s Risky Business Blog has gotten early word on who will be helming the Platinum Dunes remake of A Nightmare on Elm Street and it’s none other than music video director Samuel Bayer, the man responsible for MTV’s introduction to grunge in the form of Nirvana’s award-winning “Smells Like Teen Spirit” video. Production is expected to start – with a script by Wesley Strick (Arachnophobia) – this spring. Bayer is also slated to helm the Platinum Dunes thriller Fiasco Heights according to the story, which you can read here. He was also attached, at one time, to do Dunes’ Near Dark remake which is now dead.
