Tron Legacy
Geeks unite! The Tron Legacy full trailer has hit and it’s a doozy! Jeff Bridges is back to reprise his role as Kevin Flynn. Visually it looks great, Daft Punk are doing the score and it’s going to be in 3D. Like I said, geeks unite!

A Nightmare on Elm St Trailer #2
This trailer gives a much better look at the ‘reimagining’ of the Nightmare saga. I think the Jackie Earle Haley scenes are good. The voice I’m still not convinced with yet but the laugh towards the end is good. And the makeup? Well it’s probably more detailed than the original but scary though? Hrmmmm. I guess no-one is ever going to replace Robert England but Jackie is probably the best person to fill the sweater. There’s a few homages to the original film – the hand in the bathtub, the bedroom ceiling scene and Freddy coming out of the wall (although it looked like dodgey CG to me). HD version here.
My biggest issue judging from this trailer is the younger cast. Wes Craven cast some memorable teens back in the original whereas this cast look instantly forgettable. The folks behind this ‘reimagining’ Platinum Dunes gave us the remakes of Texas Chainsaw Massacre and Friday the 13th and I doubt anyone can remember any of the younger cast from those films except maybe Jessica Biel. Truth be told, if we want more memorable mainstream horror characters, I’m hanging for Scream 4. At least with Wes pretty much back in the director’s chair and Kevin Williamson writing, I can at least expect some decent character development for a teen horror flick.
Australians get to see A Nightmare on Elm St May 20th. US reviews will be out around April 30.
