• Canceled The Sarah Connor Chronicles To Return as a Movie?

  Terminator fans weren't enough to keep canceled TV show The Sarah Connor Chronicles on the air after two seasons, but that doesn't mean the concept is entirely dead. Thomas Dekker, who played John Connor in the TV show, told Digital Spy that a full-length movie is being developed.

  They've spoken about doing a TV movie. Well, not a TV movie, but kind of like a direct-to-DVD movie. Obviously it's difficult because the show is based on a movie and they just had [Terminator Salvation] come out, so it's kind of hard to make a movie with our show because everyone has kind of forgotten about us. But they're hoping, at least when I spoke to [producer] James Middleton, that's where they are with it.

  Dekker, meanwhile, will have his hands full with Freddy when Nightmare on Elm Street opens April 16, 2010.

• Twilight's Kellan Lutz Talks Elm Street

  MTV recently spoke to Twilight star Kellan Lutz about his upcoming role in 2010's A Nightmare on Elm Street remake. When asked about the reboot, he said "It's very similar to the original, but with new characters. It's a really great cast, and the script is great."

  Also joining Lutz is Jackie Earle Haley (Watchmen) as Freddy Krueger, and TV stars Kyle Gallner (Smallville, Veronica Mars) and Thomas Dekker (The Sarah Connor Chronicles). What do you think — does Elm Street need a remake? And should it be a 90210-style teen slasher? We're not sure even Lutz's Twilight fan following is going to be enough to save this one.

• Twilight's Kellan Lutz Rumored for Elm Street Remake

  Kellan Lutz, now most famous for his role as Emmett Cullen in The Twilight Saga movies, is rumored to be joining the cast of 2010's A Nightmare on Elm Street -- a modern remake of the popular '80s horror flick.

  Lutz is no stranger to the horror genre, as he appeared in 2008's low-budget slash-fest Prom Night, which was -- surprise, surprise -- another '80s retelling gone bad. He's scheduled to play a "popular high school jock," which sounds similar to his recent part in the revamped version of 90210. He pulled that off quite convincingly, so it shouldn't be too much of a challenge for him.

  Also rumored to be joining him are Thomas Dekker (Terminator: The Sarah Connor Chronicles) and Kyle Gallner (The Haunting in Connecticut, Veronica Mars). Do we really need another horror movie remake? It's the same formula every time: hot, young cast + modern setting = box-office failure. Still, maybe this one will fare better. After all, no one can pull a crowd like a Twilight actor can.
