Visually, the new 'A Nightmare on Elm Street' trailer delivers

I'm not a fan of remakes. I say it over and over again, but it's the truth. Another flick pulled through the remake machine in Hollywood is "A Nightmare on Elm Street," and a brand-new feature trailer for the Samuel Bayer-directed horror film is now online.
Now, visually, it looks intriguing for sure. I like the lighting in these shots, and it looks like they managed to deliver some decent effects as well. The atmosphere seems creepy enough, and I'm liking the look of Freddy Krueger. His voice though? Not so much.
The great Jackie Earle Haley will be playing Krueger, a ruthless killer who sneaks into people's dreams and kills them while they're sleeping. Michael Bay is a producer on the flick, and I know that doesn't sound all too promising. But who knows... it may be entertaining.
Kellan Lutz, Rooney Mara and Kyle Gallner, who all look incredibly sleepy in this trailer, co-star in the flick, which opens everywhere April 30, 2010. Who's ready for this? Anyone out there?
