In a story from The Wrap, Dermot Mulroney, Kyle Gallner, Michael Angarano and Stephen Root are presently in talks to co-star in Kevin Smith’s political horror film Red State.

Also, Oscar nominated
actress Melissa Leo is also eyeing the project.

Red State stars Michael Parks (Grindhouse) and is somewhat based on Reverend Fred Phelps of the hateful Westboro Baptist Church.

Smith has not yet finished the script but the director says he wants “recognizable unknowns” in some of the script’s main roles. He is doing this because these actors will most likely appear in smaller supporting roles.

In addition to this, via his Twitter account, Kevin Smith said that Red State will begin shooting on September 22.

Red State comes to theaters in 2011 and stars Dermot Mulroney, Michael Angarano, Kyle Gallner, Stephen Root, Melissa Leo, Michael Parks. The film is directed by Kevin Smith.

Here’s a scoop of what goodies await you for Nightmare if you get it on Blu-Ray. Courtesy of HDR

You have known the release date for Warner’s remake of A Nightmare on Elm Street is October 5 for weeks but now it is finally official, as are the mostly Blu-ray exclusive bonus features.

Jackie Earle Haley, Kyle Gallner and Twilight’s Kellan Lutz star in the Michael Bay production of A Nightmare on Elm Street which managed just over $63 million at the box office. That might be considered a flop had the film cost just over less than that to produce.

On Blu-ray, A Nightmare on Elm Street will be presented in 2.4:1 1080p video and 5.1 DTS-HD Master Audio. A DVD version and digital copy will be included as well as these bonus features:

* BD Exclusive: Maniacal Movie Mode (picture-in-picture)
* BD Exclusive: Alternate Opening
* BD Exclusive: 6-Minute Alternate Ending
* BD Exclusive: Additional Scene
* Freddy Krueger Reborn featurette

Warner has set the SRP for A Nightmare on Elm Street 2010 combo pack release at $35.99. Enjoy the front and back cover art below and be on the lookout for the Amazon.com pre-order link.

Still, her co-star Kyle Gallner saw the 2010 “Nightmare,” like the recent “Jennifer’s Body,” as a chance to take his career to the next level. The 23-year-old had previously appeared on various TV shows, including “The Shield” and “Law & Order.” “I think they are a good opportunity for a young actor to do a studio film and get some on-set experience,” he said. “But a horror movie won’t necessarily pop you now, like it used to back then.”

Kyle Gallner, who plays Nancy’s boyfriend Quentin, was less certain about signing on for a sequel. “If [the producers] come to me with a sequel, depending on what happens at the end [of 'Nightmare'], I don’t know,” he confessed. “['Nightmare'] might be my grand finale from horror movies, unless good material comes along. Good material is good material, so I’ll never say never.”

A blog of randomness, The Daily Blowhole has named Kyle their hunk of the week. There’s no need for Kyle to be shy, Nightmare seems to be giving him the recognition that he well deserves. I can’t say that I disagree with their choice to name him Hunk #3. Congratulations Kyle.

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.”

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.
