Last night was the world premiere of Warner Bros. and Platinum Dunes remake of A Nightmare on Elm Street.  The premiere was held at the famous Chinese Theater in Hollywood, and since it had been awhile, I decided to cover the red carpet.  Thankfully, most of the cast stopped by to talk, and after the jump you can watch my interview with Thomas Dekker.

If you’ve been reading Collider for awhile, you know Thomas Dekker is a fan of the site and since I recently talked to him at WonderCon and at the junket for Nightmare, I used the time on the carpet to talk about the important stuff: his hair.  All kidding aside, he told me how he got the lead role in Gregg Araki’s new movie Kaboom (which premieres at Cannes), what else he’s working on, and does he miss Terminator: The Sarah Conner Chronicles.  Check out what he had to say after the jump:

Thomas Dekker to Lead Indie Drama WASKA Co-Starring Jeremy Piven, Lynn Collins, and Kate Walsh

In what’s sure to be an uplifting tale on par with E.T. and commercials for the Olympics, Thomas Dekker (Terminator: The Sarah Connor Chronicles), Jeremy Piven, Lynn Collins, and Kate Walsh have all been cast in Waska, which is about a young father (Dekker) whose 3-year-old freezes to death on a fishing trip.  I believe we’ve found our feel-good film of 2010.

According to THR, “a local prosecutor (Piven) goes after him, townspeople like his ex-wife (Collins) rage at him and others support him as he attempts to makes sense of what happened.”  Mira Sorvino, Elizabeth McGovern, and Joseph Morgan also co-star in the film. Waska is based off a novel by Leslie Schwartz and is probably a great beach read.
