June 10, 2009 - A Nightmare on Elm Street / Wes Craven upset about remake
Scooped on Wednesday, June 10, 2009
Original Nightmare director Wes Craven has spoken about the remake and he doesn't like it at all. "Yes it does hurt, it does because its such an important film for me that, unfortunately, when I signed the original contract I gave up all rights to it and so there's nothing I can do about it," Craven told IGN UK exclusively. "I was much happier with [the remake of] The Last House on the Left that I could kind of shepherd it towards production and we found a really wonderful director."
And just so you got the picture about how upset Craven feels, he adds this bit: "I don't even know who's doing it and I'm not interested. It's actually really painful to think about it. It's the film of mine that I probably love the most, and which made the most money. The script went around Hollywood for three years and nobody touched it and I went through all my life savings and everything else to pay for it, so I had to make the deal I did. Frankly, at that time I thought it would be one movie and that's it. I never thought it would go on and on and on."
