Box art for reissues
Insanity.
New Line is taking the opportunity to re-release the eight films in their wildly successful Nightmare on Elm Street franchise in a new DVD box set that’s arriving on April 6. That’s to be expected with the Platinum Dunes-produced A Nightmare on Elm Street reboot coming along on April 30. New Line hasn’t packaged all of the films together as a set since they released that black-boxed, beautiful special edition collection in ’99. (Since then the films have been paired up, two or four films per disc.)
But here’s the beef we have: New Line is clearly using the new Jackie Earle Haley Freddy Krueger on their box art, as seen below. The glove has obviously been retooled in Photoshop. But that’s Haley/Krueger’s head. Say what you will about the reboot – whether you love the idea or hate it – Robert Englund should be represented on this DVD. Shame, shame…
On the same day, New Line is also releasing the original Nightmare on Elm Street on Blu-Ray.
