Yep. Horrormeister Wes Craven is Freddy Kruger's "daddy". http://www.imdb.com/name/nm0000127/

I officially refuse to acknowledge this and hereby pretend it's made up.

I am the snobbiest of film snobs myself but somehow I'm ok with this. Right now I'm just happy that he's considering any film work whatsoever (as a diversion, mind you). I'm not worried that he'll run off and do just this kind of stuff for the rest of his career. How many of Wes Craven's serial killers have sung at the NY Philharmonic, right?

Oh, I'm sure he'd do great things with it, I'm just a little like "... seriously?"

I'm so ever-the-skeptic, though. And not a movie person at all. I only see like two or three in theaters a year.

Raúl, if you (or someone close to you) are/is reading this, PLEASE talk to someone knowledgeable about the kind of cult following Wes Craven movies have, and the particular demands that places on their stars.

Fangoria.com is the website of the premier publishing conglomerate for all things relating to the sci-fi/horror genre. They have a blurb on their website about the movie. It doesn't say much more than we've already seen, but they did have this to say about Raúl:

"Broadway star Raul Esparza, whose credits include Riff Raff in the ROCKY HORROR SHOW revival, is in discussions to play the movie's villain, a serial killer who resurrects to stalk the youths who were born at the same time as his apparent death."

I'm so going to have Raul nightmares.

[MotorTink]

Posted: 4/17/08 at 1:55pm

or slightly disturbing fantasies....

[luvtheEmcee]

Posted: 4/17/08 at 1:58pm

Definitely just nightmares. I can't do horror films, at all, they creep me out. Curiosity would get the better of me, though, if he does this. Guaranteed. And then I wouldn't sleep for a week because curiosity, after all, killed the cat.

In fact, I would probably be inclined to run in the complete OTHER direction the next time I saw him in person after seeing the movie.

I'm that much of a wimp. =P

[MotorTink]

Posted: 4/17/08 at 2:03pm

hmm, i wonder if that was his real motive for doing the movie then.......


I kid.

Shut up.

I can't do scary movies either, Em. If this happens...I might have to force myself to wait for the DVD and watch it in a well lit room in the middle of the day.

Add me to the people who can't handle scary movies. I also want to think this won't happen, but I am assuming Raul knows what he's doing. But not my first, or even fiftieth, choice for him, in my own opinion. (ongoing HOMECOMING references)

[orangeskittles]

Posted: 4/17/08 at 3:23pm

Wes Craven slashers are too stupid and formulaic to be scary. Oooo, the two slutty teens are going to have sex while the ominous music is playing- I wonder what's going to happen?!

[bestinshow2]

Posted: 4/17/08 at 3:29pm

So will he be a zombie??

:/

[MotorTink]

Posted: 4/17/08 at 3:36pm

pretty much

[bestinshow2]

Posted: 4/17/08 at 3:40pm

As long as he's a good looking zombie then...

I hope the distributors won't try to be clever and release the movie on 5/28/2009. I want to see it sooner!

It's being filmed in Connecticut and they're casting extras for April, May and June, if anyone is feeling adventurous.

Zombie?

I have nothing to say past, "lol."

My first film extra experience was also my last, thank you very much.
