His face seems to be obscured in darkness, so I'm not sure who this character is. Probably one of those Wolverines you like so much.

I like the detail in the glove, you can see where he welded the claws to it.

there's a freddy krueger themed porno...really kinda funny

search "freddy krueger porno" on youtube, you can probably find the intro

@2 - you can't weld bone!

Which his claws clearly are composed of.

@4 what?

i'll just presume that you're joking and leave it at that.

i came to say.. why are they remaking the original slashers? why not re-imagine the concept but incorporate a completely new plot into it.. so its like the beginning of a new series. these movies aren't old enough to be remade. Also, I cant imagine anyone but robert englund in this role..

and the f*cked up the friday remake so bad i can only guess the same will happen here..

@ 4 Are you blind or just retarded? I see no bone in the picture... You can clearly see the welds and rivets... Do you know ANYTHING about the Nightmare on Elm Street story?

@ 5

I kind of feel the same way... it would be really sweet if there was a prequel... but this teaser has me feeling positive....

LOL. probably...

@6

Are YOU retarded? Do YOU know anything about the NES (not to be confused with Nintendo's NES) story?

Everyone, and I mean EVERYONE, knows that Freddy Krueger had bone claws in the ORIGINAL story, conceived by Wes Craven. HOWEVER, the bone claws never made it into the the final cut, no pun intended, of the film. Although if you look closely at the storyboards of the original film you can see that Freddy clearly uses bones from the children he abducted in Freddy vs. Jason as his claws for the claw-glove. Bone claws.

Woot, there are people who doesn't know that freddy's claws are bone?

I mean, that's really obvious, just look at the joints, there's no way that is other material than bone.

Do not touch Willy.

Good advice!

Sandwiches.

@9 -- tHIS IS FROM WIKI... http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Freddy_Krueger

Wes Craven claims that part inspiration for Freddy's infamous glove was from his cat, as he watched it claw the side of his couch one night.[25]

"Part of it was an objective goal to make the character memorable, since it seems that every character that has been successful has had some kind of unique weapon, whether it be a chain saw or a machete, etc. I was also looking for a primal fear which is embedded in the subconscious of people of all cultures. One of those is the fear of teeth being broken, which I used in my first film. Another is the claw of an animal, like a saber-toothed tiger reaching with it's [sic] tremendous hooks. I transposed this into a human hand. The original script had the blades being fishing knives." says Craven in an interview[26] When Jim Doyle, the creator of Freddy's claw asked Wes Craven what he wanted, Wes responded "It's kind of like really long fingernails, I want the glove to look like something that someone could make who has the skills of a boilermaker"[25] "Then we hunted around for knives" says Doyle, "We picked out this bizarre-looking steak knife, we thought that this looked really cool, we thought it would look even cooler if we turned it over and used it upside down, we had to remove the back edge and put another edge on it, because we were actually using the knife upside down". Later Doyle had three duplicates of the glove made. Two of which were used as stunt gloves in long shots.[25]

For New Nightmare, Lou Carlucci, the effects coordinator, remodeled Freddy's glove for a more "organic look". He says "I did the original glove on the first Nightmare and we deliberately made that rough and primitive looking, like something that would be constructed in somebody's home workshop. Since this is supposed to be a new look for Freddy, Wes and everybody involved decided that the glove should be different. This hand has more muscle and bone texture to it, the blades are shinier and in one case, are retractable. Everything about this glove has a much cleaner look to it, it's more a natural part of his hand than a glove" [25]

I am still trying to figure out where it says it was created by bone of his victims???


I can let you borrow my box set if you've never seen the movies before?

Ai yi yi... OK, at least I got the bone claw joke.

I heard a while back that it was going to be Billy bob Thornton
