Platinum Dunes

And we are down to the business of debating the worth, value, merit of A Nightmare on Elm Street 2010.

Yes, that is the remake by director Sam Bauer, the Platinum Dunes edition.

And, uh, everyone is very familiar with Nightmare on Elm Street.

Now, I wanna start with Joel, because he's got so much ire, so much ferocity.

Okay?

Mm-hmm.

So when this came out, I actually am not, like, a hater of all the Platinum Dunes stuff.

Like, I remember going to see the Texas Chainsaw.

watching those films when

they happen sometimes they happen sometimes they happen sometimes it's it's a really odd choice at times it's it's a really odd choice at times it's It was the best of the Platinum Dunes remakes, I

thought.

I think I like the Friday the 13th one better.

It was a box office hit, making 117 million on a budget of 35 million.

Um, do you know how bad it is that in... 'Cause you know, this was P- Platinum Dunes, Michael Bay's company.

Yeah, yeah.

They also did-

Platinum Dunes.

But I also kinda like their Friday the 13th remake.

[laughs]

Yeah, totally

... um, 'cause that was just Platinum Dunes-

Mm-hmm

...

Then there's that

crappy Platinum Dunes movie, the remake.

Oh, I didn't watch the remake.

I didn't want to.

That said, let's roll into remake professor you got some details for us

nightmare on elm street the remake came out in 2010 uh this was made by platinum dunes who made a string of remakes back then uh starring jackie o'haley runy mara kyle gallner i think that's how you say his name thomas decker clancy brown and connie britain uh and fun fact this is the highest grossing entry in the franchise holy shit Wow.

So when you ask yourself, why do they keep doing things like this? There you go.

Well, and

But yeah, I grew up the 2000s and I remember the 2000s well and they were populated by remakes of classic horror films, you know, all the way up from the 2000s up until parts of the 2010s.

Like every horror film, every classic horror film was, you know, you know, not sacred and, you know, people were, you know, remaking films like The Ring, Texas Chainsaw Massacre, you know, I mean, Michael Bay, you know, his company, Platinum Dunes, that he runs with Brad Fuller and Andrew Form, they basically remade every classic American horror film, Texas Chainsaw Massacre, The Amityville Horror, The Hitcher, which I've reviewed on one of these episodes, which is one of my favorite horror films, Friday the 13th at A Nightmare on Elm Street.

And, you know, they, you know, these, you know, stylish MTV style music video directed horror movies, you know, some of them were good, some of them were bad, but...

None of them were critically well received, no matter how successful at the box office they were.

Who's playing, you know, the guy that got shot in the dick? Like who's playing? You know, like it's very like a remake is like Gus Van Sant did a remake of Psycho.

You know, I would say like the Platinum Dunes movies, like horror remakes.

Sure, Texas Chainsaw.

Those are remakes, you know, where it's like the Texas Chainsaw movie is a remake of the original Texas Chainsaw.

Says Ninja Turtles Last Ronin.

The hilarious part of this, I don't know if you know this, some random, is that he was Raphael in the two Platinum Dunes live action Ninja Turtle films with Megan Fox.

Given his current career, I don't think you could get Alan Richson anywhere near a Ninja Turtle set.

User 876-888885-777017 says, Riddick? There's no way that franchise is getting pulled from Vin Diesel's greasy Corona-covered hands.
