So amidst yesterday’s set visit preview and our first little look at Freddy Krueger, it would appear – according to Fangoria – that the remake of A Nightmare on Elm Street](A Nightmare on Elm Street (2010) - Movie | Moviefone) has been pushed back a bit from April 16th to April 30th, 2010, the same weekend that happened to bring in nearly $30 million for Obsessed this year.

And the same Fangoria piece brings up a move for Josh Brolin’s scarred gunslinger, Jonah Hex](Jonah Hex (2010) - Movie | Moviefone), up from August 6th to June 18th, 2010. It seems like a vote of confidence, either because Megan Fox is such a big box-office draw now or because Will Arnett will be once G-Force drops this Friday.

We’ve also confirmed that Nimrod Antal’s heist thriller Armored](Armored (2009) - Movie | Moviefone) has been bumped from this September 4th back to December 4th. The week after Thanksgiving is usually somewhat of a no-man’s-land for the holiday flops to fall away and the awards magnets to work their way up and out, but for every Aeon Flux, we get something fun like Punisher: War Zone, and early rumblings on Armored are that we might not have a dud on our hands. Having enjoyed Antal’s Kontroll and 98% of Vacancy, and knowing that this flick helped him land the gig directing Predators, here’s hoping.
