A Nightmare on Elm Street
Say what you will about the idea of remaking the Nightmare movies, at least they got a good, creepy actor to play dream-based serial killer Freddy Krueger. Jackie Earle Haley (Watchmen, Human Target) will strap on the glove to play the badly burned, hat-loving murderer, and has said that his Freddy is "less jokey." Add in female lead Katie Cassidy (Melrose Place, Harper's Island) and a director who has music videos for Marilyn Manson and Garbage under his belt, and we might not be able to sleep as its April 2010 release date approaches.

The Wolfman
You'll have to wait a little bit longer to see Benicio Del Toro as a werewolf in this remake of the 1941 original, since this movie has been pushed from November to February of next year. It still has Emily Blunt and Anthony Hopkins in it, though, and it's still directed by Joe Johnston (The Rocketeer, Jurassic Park III), so hopefully the delay doesn't mean the film is a stinker.

Hellraiser
The original Hellraiser only came out in 1987, so it seems a little soon for a remake, but considering how the sequels and prequels have watered down the franchise over the years, a fresh start might not be a bad thing. French horror directors Alexandre Bustillo and Julien Maury (Inside) were once attached, as was Pascal Laugier (Martyrs), but now the treatment by Hellraiser creator (and the original film's director) Clive Barker has been discarded, and the writers of Saw IV and V have been brought in. This does not bode well.

Children of the Corn
This remake will premiere on the Syfy channel this month, but don't expect a masterpiece. Kandyse McClure (Battlestar's Dualla) and David Anders (Heroes' Adam Monroe) will play the couple who get stranded in a town run by killer children who worship a corn god, and the film is written and directed by the original movie's producer, who also produced Leprechaun 2 and Meatballs 4 but hasn't written or directed much else. If nothing else, it should fit in nicely with the rest of Syfy's film offerings, quality-wise.

Piranha 3-D
The original 1978 Piranha is not only a humorously gory homage to Jaws, it's already had a James Cameron-directed sequel and a nearly line-for-line made-for-TV remake. But finally, somebody is taking piranhas seriously. Alexandre Aja, who's already directed the deadly serious remakes Mirrors and The Hills Have Eyes, is helming this new take on the film, which re-imagines the bred-by-the-military piranhas of the original as prehistoric piranhas freed by an earthquake. The cast is a virtual who's who of movies of the past 30 years -- Elisabeth Shue, Adam Scott, Ving Rhames, Christopher Lloyd, Jerry O'Connell, Dina Meyer, Paul Scheer and Jaws star Richard Dreyfuss -- and they apparently had to dye the lake they shot in red while filming. Did we mention it's in 3-D? Come April 16, we're so there.
