ELM STREET teaser time!

[Luke Erik]

my 6 year old son is named Lex.  He always complains about his name saying "why'd you name me Lex?".  He hates it because everyone calls him Lex Luthor.  It doesn't help that our last name is Burger so he gets it on that end too.

I feel his pain. Growing up as a blond haired, blue eyed kid named Luke with one hand whose last name is similar to Skywalker had its trials.

Good for them to take a stand, but...

Some high-profile filmmakers have been famously concerned about conversion, which takes footage that was shot in 2-D and turns it into 3-D. When New Line initiated several conversations about converting "A Nightmare on Elm Street" to 3-D, "we pushed back," says director Samuel Bayer. "This was shot in 2-D and was meant to be shown in 2-D." He added, "Just like I don't want to see a lot of great movies remade" — alluding to the other Hollywood vogue — "I don't want to see a lot of them in 3-D."

William Goss: "Director Samuel Bayer reportedly refused to convert his Nightmare remake to 3-D; I'd argue that he hardly made it in two dimensions." ZING
