Retro T-shirts news: New Elm Street producer explains reshoots

22/12/2009

Producer Brad Fuller has assured fans that reports of recent reshooting work on the remake of A Nightmare on Elm Street are nothing to worry about.

Fuller's studio Platinum Dunes is producing the updated version of Wes Craven's 1984 slasher classic, which is currently scheduled for release in April or May next year.

Writing on the Platinum Dunes blog this week, Fuller said that "people seem to be making a big deal" about the reshoots.

"Elm Street is our eighth film and we've had reshoots for every film … After you've seen the film we can discuss what was reshot," he added.

Platinum Dunes is also planning to make a new Friday 13th movie, although that project is yet to reach the filming stage.

Freddy Krueger, the iconic villain of A Nightmare on Elm Street, has featured on the retro T-shirts of many horror fans since the original film's release in 1984.

The movie, which was followed by a host of sequels, also marked the feature-film debut of Johnny Depp.
