At HollywoodChicago.com, we will be one of your best places to learn about the new film, casting for it and much more just as we were an excellent source of local and insider information for “Public Enemies” with Johnny Depp and “The Dark Knight” when they filmed in Chicago.
For starters, we are pleased to confirm to you the casting agency for the Chicago production of “A Nightmare on Elm Street”. We have learned and can confirm that it’s Atmosphere Casting.
You can ask for Jon Kinnas by name at Atmosphere Casting. If you’re an actor, with that information you’ll now know what to do.

"Fangs" for the information!
Greetings. Count Gregula here. I’m a local horror host/entertainer/reviewer along vith part-time movie extra out of the Chicagoland area. And, I just like to say, I’m pleased as PLASMA PUNCH to find out that the NEW “A Nightmare on Elm Street” movie is set to film in Chicago!! VOW! That movie holds a special place in my BLOODY heart ever since I met Robert Englund (the original Freddy Krueger) three times in the past and even have a pic vith him on my personal site! For a horror movie aficionado such as myself this is a Spook-tacular opportunity to be involved in a remake of a horror classic right in my very own “dark alley” this time around! *evil laugh* Seriously, I’m looking forvard to the updates!
Yours in Fright,
