Reuters is reporting that legendary music video director Samuel Bayer is set to helm the upcoming remake of A Nightmare on Elm Street for Platinum Dunes.
The site notes that unlike other franchise reboots that incorporate various elements from sequels, this remake will be more of a direct remake of the first picture of the legendary horror franchise.
Bayer is best known for Nirvana’s “Smells like Teen Spirit”, Green Day’s “American Idiot” and Garbage’s “Stupid Girl”. He will make his feature film debut on Fiasco Heights which Platinum Dunes is producing.
