The premiere for Platinum Dunes’ A Nightmare on Elm Street was held last night at the Grauman’s Chinese Theater in Hollywood, CA.  I would have attended, but I fell asleep (ba-rump-pum!). I am, however, catching a screening of the flick tonight and should have a review ready for my new upcoming Muertos at the Movies segment.

Attending the event were stars Jackie Earle Haley, Rooney Mara, Thomas Dekker, Kyle Gallner, Clancy Brown, Connie Britton, and Platinum Dunes co-founder Michael Bay. Sadly, it appears Katie Cassidy was absent during the shindig.

Among the celebrities spotted were “Spartacus” babe Erin Cummings, Shannon Elizabeth (Night of the Demons), Playboy’s Kendra Wilkinson, McLovin’ himself Christopher Mintz-Plasse (Kick-Ass), Efren “Vote Pedro” Ramirez (Napoleon Dynamite), Nicky Whelan (Halloween 2), Jordana Brewster (The Texas Chainsaw Massacre: The Beginning), Lisa Wilcox (Nightmare on Elm Street 5), Kali Hawk (Couple’s Retreat), Bridget Marquardt (Scary Movie 4), and Freddy rival Jason, aka Derek Mears (Friday the 13th).

A Nightmare on Elm Street opens April 30.
