Looks like Platinum Dunes A Nightmare on Elm Street reboot is going behind the camera again for a series of reshoots. The film (scheduled to be released April 30th, 2010) has been test screening around the Los Angeles area to mixed results. See below for a recent casting announcement and more info about the reshoots.
According to Spoiler TV, this is the recent casting announcement that went out.

Chud.com (who first noticed the announcement) reports that initial response to the test screenings was 'mixed to negative'. They're also quick to point out that reshoots alone are not necessarily a cause to worry saying, 'Woody Allen budgets for reshoots (or 'additional shooting') because once the film gets into the editing room he may see holes that need to be patched.'
So what are your thoughts? How do you feel about the A Nightmare on Elm Street remake now with this news of recent reshoots? Chime in below.
