Upon receiving the honour, Depp admitted he was "a little stupefied by the notion of winning awards," adding, "I'm amazed I get jobs after all this time".

It's payday for many of us, but if you want to talk about payoffs, there haven't been much better Fridays in terms of material for Never Sleep Again: The Elm Street Legacy than today, December 11th! Read on to see who's in the hot seat now.
Never Sleep Again: The Elm Street Legacy officially began lensing on August 22, 2009, in and around Los Angeles. Starring and narrated by Heather Langenkamp, star of the 1984 classic A Nightmare on Elm Street and two of its sequels (1986's Nightmare on Elm Street 3: Dream Warriors and 1994's Wes Craven's New Nightmare), this thrilling 90-minute retrospective promises to be the definitive look at the making of the iconic horror series and the enduring legacy of its wise-cracking, razor-gloved villain: the indefatigable "bastard son of a hundred maniacs" known as Freddy Krueger.
Directed by Daniel Farrands and Andrew Kasch, this comprehensive look at the Nightmare films

'A Nightmare on Elm Street' Shooting New Scene

When it has already been in post-production phase, "A Nightmare on Elm Street" sets cameras to roll once again. The remake of the 1984 Wes Craven's movie is said to shoot additional scene following a recent casting call notice for the film, which was posted on Spoiler TV.
According to the announcement, the horror movie is looking for actors to play four new characters, including a waitress, a dutch, a teenage guy, and a friend of Jesse and Quentin. Based on the descriptions of each character, it is believed that the new scene will take place in a dine.
However, it is not known why the film has to shoot the new scene. Bloody Disgusting then offers a speculation that the additional scene could be used "as plot explanation to clear up something that confused the test audiences." The site further notes that additional scene is different from reshoot.
Produced by Michael Bay,

Horror Developments: New Shooting on Elm Street; Halloween 3D Uncertainty;
8 December 2009 2:49 PM, PST

What sort of shape is the Platinum Dunes remake of A Nightmare on Elm Street in right now? Vague reports of test screenings suggest that the film as it currently stands may not be so hot. What we do know is that Dunes has been casting roles for at least one new scene that is shooting now.
The scene takes place in the diner where main character Nancy works, and could be anything from a minor beat meant to smooth out some of the storytelling (likely) to a substantial piece of new footage. I'm thinking at the moment this isn't anything to make too much of, but I'm not overly optimistic towards the film in the first place. This can only help. [SpoilerTV]
After the break, news on Halloween 3D, the next Resident Evil and Priest.
And what of Halloween? There have been many rumors of a third film, possibly in 3D,

Warner Bros. has released their 2010 schedule and included a bunch of first look images from some of their biggest films. While in years past they would include a synopsis for each film to go along with the images, for now they’ve only provided a release date and the category it’s in. Saying that, if you’d like to see the first images from Ben Affleck’s The Town, the new Kevin Smith movie starring Bruce Willis and Tracy Morgan, Hubble 3D, The Lottery Ticket, Flipped, Going the Distance, and a lot more, hit the jump and take a look.
I would imagine WB is going to release synopses in the next few days. If they do, I’ll update this story. Until then, enjoy the images:
The Book Of Eli (Action Adventure)
January 15
Edge Of Darkness (Suspense Thriller)
January 29

‘The Birds’ Remake Gets A New Director?
3 December 2009 8:49 AM, PST
| ScreenRant.com

»
The last time we reported on the completely unnecessary remake of Alfred Hitchcock’s classic The Birds, it looked to be dead on the ground, at least for the time being. Sadly, however, it appears the remake is still on its way, and it may have found a new director.
Casino Royale director, Martin Campbell, had been attached up until this point to direct The Birds. However, a little project called Green Lantern came along, and evidently The Birds got brushed to the side and almost forgot about. According to Pajiba, their inside source in The Hollywood Cog says that Campbell is no longer helming the $60 million project, which is set up at Michael Bay’s horror remake-prone production company, Platinum Dunes (the studio responsible for the remakes of A Nightmare on Elm Street, The Amityville Horror, The Texas Chainsaw Massacre and Friday the 13th, amongst others).

More Photos from the Elm Street Remake

Recently HeyUGuys went Freddy Krazy (including Gary meeting the man behind the mask), so it’s fitting that we get to see a few pictures of the Platinum Dunes Remake of A Nightmare on Elm Street.
As you can see from the pictures below director Samuel Bayer has kept the iconic elements of the Wes Craven classic, in fact they could be photos from the original, and Jackie Earle Haley looks very Freddy-esque in silhouette at least. It’ll be interesting to see Haley’s portrayal of this horror icon, and whether the Scream generation post modernism means that Freddy will keep the wisecracks, or if the film goes all out gut wrenching horror.
These shots come to us from Omelete (via TotalFilm), and point to a faithful recreation of the fire, clawfingers and fear of the original.

Warner International released a few new tidbits of goodness for the upcoming Platinum Dunes redux of Wes Craven's classic A Nightmare on Elm Street, and of course we've imported them for you like fine wine. Or in this case ... stinky cheese?

Screen Grabs or Official Pics from Nightmare on Elm Street ?

It irks us when sites pass off screen grabs, one can easily get from a film trailer, as "official stills" from the studio. Happens. And there is a difference. So we're unsure if these new pics from Omelette A Nightmare on Elm Street are merely doctored up screen grabs or photos. (We suspect the former.) Regardless, they are a cool look at the upcoming reboot hitting theaters April 30, 2010.

Christmas Must-Haves: Horror Sneaker Bonanza

The sneaker culture eludes me. Me? I'm a boots kind of guy. I know dudes that have more sneakers than Carrie Bradshaw's shoe collection in Sex in the City . Hey, to each their own. But I will admit to getting a bit excited when designers venture into horror territory and create a decent pair of sneaks based on some of my favorite films.
Nike took a crack at the genre with a line-up based on A Nightmare on Elm Street , Friday the 13th , Dawn of the Dead and more. But those never saw the light of day (read more about that here ). Now, I've come across some more designs - some that will never be reproduced - that you ought to check out like a pair of sneakers that would make Pinhead grin and another set to stomp a city in.
Of course, these suckers - if available - fetch.

Bad-Ass! New Book of Eli Poster Surfaces Online!

MySpace has unveiled the new poster for brothers Allen and Albert Hughes’ The Book of Eli, which comes to theaters January 15. I have been waiting for this film since catching wind of it at Comic-Con. The movie seems like your standard post-apocalyptic film which is awesome. I love Gary Oldman as well who plays the villain, something he does very well.
As far as the poster goes it is nice shot of Denzel sort of giving him that glamour shot.
The Book of Eli, revolves around a lone hero Eli (Denzel Washington) who fights his way across the wasteland of post-apocalyptic America. He’sthe protector of a sacred book that may hold the key to saving humanity. The film also stars Gary Oldman, who plays Carnegie a town leader/spiritual leader/mayor, etc. The atypical persona of someone capitalizing on the fear and survival of everyone else for power. Oh
