Analysis: A New Nightmare On Elm Street Screenplay For New Line Cinema

Studios know that if a movie does well the first time, it is likely to do well the second time and even the third time. King Kong is no exception. Producers can presume that the glory of the original will pass on to the remake since audiences hope for that feeling again. Whether the movie is better or not doesn’t matter. Audiences will go to see King Kong over the years because the remakes are associated with the original.

Me being a total horror movie fanatic and with the remake craze taking the horror genre by storm, we all compare the remake to the original while we’re watching it. One of the most classic horror films of all time, Nightmare on Elm Street, was originally made in 1984 and later got remade in 2010 after a slew of sequels. When Nightmare on Elm Street got a remake, everyone at that time had split decisions about the new movie. Me personally, I am not a big fan of remakes, but since I am such a fan of scary movies, I went in with an open mind and actually liked it a lot. I have seen this movie hundreds of time since the movie came out and my sentiments

Currently, on September 8, 2017 the remake of Stephen King’s movie “It” was released around Halloween.

But out of the eight movies to follow, Wes Craven’s a New Nightmare is arguably one of the best sequels there is. After walking away from the Nightmare franchise following the third movie, Wes Craven reentered the series with a whole new outlook for Freddy Kruger. While in the first film, Freddy was made more comical than terrifying, in Wes Craven’s a New Nightmare, Freddy is as menacing and frightening as it gets. What also makes this movie so great in the franchise is that the movie is not part of the series’ continuity; instead, the movie portrays Kruger as a fictional movie villain who comes to life to haunt the cast and crew responsible for making the movies about him. With its meta plot, a setting that instills a fear of falling asleep and seeing Freddy, and a cameo from Craven himself, Wes Craven’s a New Nightmare is one of those sequels too great to

Last month I attended Professor Farrell’s speech on Universal Studio horror films at the library in Mauldin. The purpose of this speech was to entertain his audience by using visual aids to speak on Universal Studio horror movies from 1931 to 1945. The speech included many versions of films such as Dracula, Frankenstein, The Wolf Man, The Mummy, and The Invincible Man. Professor Farrell did an incredible job entertaining the audience and speaking on the differences between each version of films. I’m going to take the seven steps of the Shannon –Waver Model to critique his speech. The Shannon-Weaver model was designed to improve communication and includes specific concepts such as sender, message, channel, Receiver, feedback, noise and context.

Initially, the moviemaker had claimed that the movie would be made only if actor Michael Keaton would agree to reprise his role as the eponymous character. On the contrary, recent reports

It made over 75 million-dollars in Box Office and received critical acclaim. Roger Ebert praised its original world and believed that it deserves multiple viewings because of its visual richness. And sure enough, it did get multiple views and a large following. Now 23 years after its

The rumours of the remake have been around since 2012, but it was made official by Sony last week. And the release date of the movie is pretty much interesting too-December 25th, 2016. Yes, on Christmas, which ensures that a large

Video game films have bad luck taking off. To date, the only successful video game film was Prince of Persia, with only $90,759,676 in domestic revenue. However, Ubisoft decided to take a more hands-on approach to their film this time, and this also marks the first time a theatrical film is set in the same universe as its corresponding video game franchise. So there's

Although the concept of a grandma scurrying around on all fours during the late hours of the night is quite unsettling, M. Night Shyamalan’s newest horror movie, The Visit, just simply is not that horrific. Be relieved! It is not quite as bad as some of his past projects including The Last Airbender (which received a mere 6% rating on Rotten Tomatoes) and After Earth (which surprisingly reached an 11% review from critics on Rotten Tomatoes). Both were rewarded with overwhelmingly bad reviews and had a negative affect on his career.

This is largely because the film failed to deliver a strong financial comeback through VOD and direct to DVD distribution. In fact, the film was generally considered to be “flop” due to poor critical response.

Remember that My Sweet Audrina is the only standalone book that V. C. Andrews ever wrote, so there will be no reason for a sequel to this movie. This should be the only movie about Audrina, but things are going so well for Lifetime with V.C. Andrews books that you can expect to see more of her books turned into movies in the future.

The production/success of remakes has declined over the past decade (Follows, "The Scale of Hollywood Remakes and Reboots"), but it appears that remakes are set to make a

Sequels and remakes are currently the name of the game for blockbuster movies. In 2017, seven of the top ten earning films are either remakes or sequels, so clearly there is a good reason behind this trend. After all, entertainment companies are not being paid for who is the most creative. Clearly it is a great business decision to stick with what is not only the safest choice, but the one that will consistently bring in the most revenue for the producer. The reason for the success of remakes and sequels is that all that the film producers have to do is satisfy expectations for the film meaning if it is a title like Star Wars, practically everyone already knows about the film and so now all that needs

On October 27, 2017, I attended a performance of Little Shop of Horrors, which was presented by the WSU School of Performing Arts and was performed at the Wilner Auditorium. Little Shop of Horrors was directed by Karen L.Robin. Stage Manager was Remy Kristine Lierz and the costumes were designed by Jamie R. Turner. The play lasted for about two hours. And for me the two hours went by so fast, that I didn’t even realize it. They reason behind it could be because the play was very alluring and interesting!
