Never Sleep Again Trailer: A Nightmare on Elm Street Documentary
With both Friday the 13th and the Halloween franchises getting their shot at a reboot, it was only a matter of time before A Nightmare on Elm Street would be resurrected for a new generation as well. A remake is currently in production from Platinum Dunes with director Samuel Bayer at the helm and Jackie Earle Haley wearing the striped sweater and glove. But in order to start generating some hype for Freddy Krueger’s return, they have also commissioned a feature-length documentary on the series entitled Never Sleep Again: The Elm Street Legacy.
This doc is clearly following in the footsteps of other franchise retrospectives like Halloween: 25 Years of Terror and His Name Was Jason: 30 Years of Friday the 13th (especially considering that Daniel Farrands, director of the latter, is once again in charge). Also helping out is Andrew Kasch of horror website Dread Central. Although the movie does not have a solid release date as of yet, it should be out sometime before the new movie hits theatres in April and is expected to be released as a 2-disc DVD with over four hours of bonus material. What do you think… will it provide a worthwhile history lesson or a little too much self-reverence? Check out a short teaser trailer after the jump.
