Fan-made NIGHTMARE ON ELM STREET trailer is awesome!
Whilst the role of Freddy Krueger in Platinum Dunes' Nightmare on Elm Street remake was still vacant, weeks before the eventual casting of Jackie Earle Haley, writer/actor/director Christopher Johnson took it upon himself to try and put his name in the frame for the part. In what is becoming an increasingly popular phenomenon, Johnson went out with his own crew, his own time and money to put together a teaser trailer for a Nightmare on Elm Street movie which featured himself in the starring role. He is a big fan of Krueger, clearly, and probably thought it would come to nothing but he had to give it a go, right? The result is today's Daily Vid, a mega impressive fan made production which is probably better than 8 out of 10 studio made horror trailers we see released every year. Although bizarrely for someone trying to lobby himself for the Freddy part, he constantly shys away from showing too much of himself, which actually showcases his talents as a film-maker in better light, because it's damn effective.
Great job... and it may not have won you Freddy but it might win you something else down the road. Regardless, it's a fantastic piece of work. source - /film
