The science of sleep has advanced a lot since the original Nightmare on Elm Street. Now the producers of the remake can apply all new sorts of dream phenomenon to the kills of Freddy Krueger. Elm St. child Kyle Gallner shared some of the new movie’s new thrills.

Gallner on A Nightmare on Elm Street

“You have your classic dream sequences and you have a lot of things from the original movie, and we’ve also made a lot of things our own,” Gallner said. “One of the really interesting things you’re going to see in this movie are the micro-naps. Essentially it’s a complete blend of reality with the dream world, where sometimes you don’t know if we’re dreaming or if we’re awake, which will make it a lot scarier for the viewer and it makes it a lot scarier for the characters in themselves and what they’re going through.”

If you’ve ever drifted off in the middle of the day, imagine what Freddy could do to you in that short time. “You could be walking down the street and suddenly he’s in your face, and seeing him can wake you up and you haven’t moved, but in this 30 seconds of being asleep you’ve gone through this complete and total hell. So I think the micro-naps add a very unique and different kind of dream sequence.”

In real life, Gallner avoided and sleep terrors. “Filming horror movies is a very difficult thing so at the end of the day you’re so worn out you just hit the pillow. You kind of just pass out and nothing really runs through your mind. I can only speak for myself, but at the end of the day, it’s tough filming a horror movie. You’ve got to keep yourself amped up and it’s a very draining process, so literally you get home and hit the pillow and you’re out.”

Gallner maintained a healthy perspective on his costar. Even in Freddy makeup, it was still just good old Jackie. “Occasionally we’d be filming and he’d come in to get his make-up done so by the time we’d done a scene, he’d be ready to go. So we see him in the morning, like ‘Hey Jackie, what’s up?’ And all of a sudden, Jackie’s not there anymore. We see the Freddy make-up. It’s weird. It was almost like it was a totally different person playing Freddy. It was very bizarre.”

Kyle looked amazing along co-stars Roony, Jackie and Thomas tonight at the Nightmare on Elm Street Premiere. I love how Kyle looks in a suit don’t you? I’ve added the first wave of pictures and will add more as I find them.

Leslie Mann and Kate Bosworth have been cast in “Goodnight Moon,” a semi-autobiographical drama from Elgin James, the writer-director who started a street gang in the Boston area before ending up at Sundance Labs.

Chris Coy and Kyle Gallner also are joining the cast, which sees Juno Temple and Kay Panabaker as young girls who find themselves in trouble after they run away to Los Angeles and hook up with skaters and street kids.

Mann plays Temple’s mom, a woman who works at a secondhand clothing store but whose best years are behind her. Bosworth will be Mann’s sister.

Coy will play an opportunistic, sociopathic street kid, and Gallner is a skater; both use the girls to run a scam that goes bad.

Jamie Patricof, who produced “Half Nelson” and “Blue Valentine,” is producing “Moon,” which begins shooting Sunday near the Salton Sea before moving to L.A.

New Line passed along the official, extended synopsis for A Nightmare on Elm Street, in case you needed a refresher as to what the movie is about.

Nancy (Rooney Mara), Kris (Katie Cassidy), Quentin (Kyle Gallner), Jesse (Thomas Dekker) and Dean (Kellan Lutz) all live on Elm Street. At night, they’re all having the same dream – of the same man, wearing a tattered red and green striped sweater, a beaten fedora half-concealing a disfigured face and a gardener’s glove with knives for fingers. And they’re all hearing the same frightening voice…

One by one, he terrorizes them within the curved walls of their dreams, where the rules are his, and the only way out is to wake up.

But when one of their number dies a violent death, they soon realize that what happens in their dreams happens for real, and the only way to stay alive is to stay awake. Turning to each other, the four surviving friends try to uncover how they became part of this dark fairytale, hunted by this dark man. Functioning on little to no sleep, they struggle to understand why them, why now, and what their parents aren’t telling them.

Buried in their past is a debt that has just come due, and to save themselves, they will have to plunge themselves into the mind of the most twisted nightmare of all… Freddy Krueger.

There’s a video of Kyle and Rooney that happened at Wonder Con and I can’t embed the video, but you can click here to go see it.

I’ve finally added screencaps from Jennifer’s Body in Blu Ray, sorry for the wait everyone. I’ve been crazy busy – and so has Kyle apparently.
