Well, even if you’re not terribly fond of the remake scene, the idea that Nightmare On Elm Street is going to get a fresh coat of paint is a fairly exciting one.  Leave aside the fact that Michael Bay and his gang of vultures over at Platinum Dunes is the one handling said remake–there’s still at least some chance it may be good.

The new image, which you can see at right, features the gloved one sparking some sparks on some industrial pipework, which is the kind of thing that he was wont to do at most any opportunity.  Not exactly a mindblower or an earth-shaker, I know, but still pretty cool.

We can all rest fairly confident that, if nothing else, this sucker will at least LOOK good, and in Hollywood that counts for more than you might think.  Hopefully, the script won’t be a complete disaster like Friday the 13th’s was (I’m STILL stewing over that wreck), and hopefully, we’ll manage to get something entertaining out of it.

That’s about the best we can hope for at this point.
