2010's reviled NightmareOnElmStreet remake wasn't great for star Rooney Mara either: 'It wasn’t the best experience making it and I kind of got to this place...that I don’t want to act unless I’m doing stuff that I feel like I have to do.'
Rooney Mara says 2010’s Nightmare On Elm Street remake almost made her quit acting. Mara became an Oscar-nominee and a star thanks to David Fincher’s 2011 remake of the Swedish thriller The Girl With The Dragon Tattoo. But before making her name as vengeful hacker Lisbeth Salander, Mara tackled a different remake role, playing iconic final girl Nancy in the 2010 Nightmare On Elm Street.
SCREENRANT VIDEO OF THE DAY As it turns out, 2010’s Nightmare on Elm Street wasn’t only a miserable experience for franchise fans, it was also pretty bad for star Mara. Appearing on the LaunchLeft podcast to promote her new film Women Talking, Mara briefly touched upon her experience on the Nightmare remake, and related how it taught her to be more selective in accepting roles.
“A few years before [‘The Girl with the Dragon Tattoo’], I had done a ‘Nightmare on Elm Street’ remake, which was not a good experience. I have to be careful with what I say and how I talk about it. It wasn’t the best experience making it and I kind of got to this place, that I still live in, that I don’t want to act unless I’m doing stuff that I feel like I have to do.
Haley’s performance in many critics’ eyes is indeed the first and biggest reason why the Nightmare On Elm Street remake doesn’t work. Krueger’s entire design is in fact seen as a problem, as the movie opted to make the character’s burn scars look more realistic than in the original movies, a decision that both offended real-life burn victims and made Krueger unnerving in the wrong way.
Alongside all of these criticisms, Nightmare 2010 has also been accused of fumbling its handling of the teen characters. As original Krueger actor Englund pointed out back in 2016, “You don’t ever see any of the people happy-go-lucky, they’re never untainted.” He added, “You need to see before and after so you can invest emotionally with the children.
