Platinum Dunes remake of the 1984 Wes Craven classic A Nightmare on Elm Street wrapped production earlier this year and is set for theatrical release on April 30, 2010. However, after screening the film for test audiences in Los Angeles, producers have decided to shoot an entirely new scene for the flick.
A casting call has been issued by the studio to find actors to play minor roles in a diner scene. Parts include a 40-something waitress, a 50-plus diner owner with a weathered face, and two teenage patrons. Most movie fans will take this news to mean that there was something wrong with the movie, but I am more prone to believe that there was something wrong with the test audience.
You see, people who attend test screenings (in LA anyway) are hardly ever the brightest peanuts in the turd. Usually, they’re the ADD-riddled, ghetto-fabulous kids and twenty-something high school dropouts who only go to the movies to text and talk on their iPhones. Let’s hope these idiots are playing a role in what you and I end up seeing at the theater.
