Samuel Bayer who directed Friday's remake of A Nightmare On Elm Street has become one of my cinematic heroes of sorts...
He tells the LA Times that although he discussed it with the studio he refused to let the new 'Elm Street' undergo the all too typical 3-D conversion process proclaiming "this was shot in 2-D and was meant to be shown in 2-D"
For the second time today I say "bravo!" it's about time someone pushed back a bit on the industry's obsession with 3-D.
I wish more folks would do the same...
Of course since stars Jackiie Earle Haley and Rooney Mara are already signed for a sequel (if it were to be greenlit), the format may be an unavoidable part of any future film
