Wes Cravenin A Nightmare on Elm Street on edelleen yksi 1980-luvun kauhuklassikkoja, ja vuonna 2010 tehtiin uusintaversio. Tässä uusintaversiossa nähty Rooney Mara on paljastanut, että aikoi lopettaa näyttelemisen kokonaan tämän yhden elokuvan jälkeen. Koville nimittäin otti, vaikka sen tarkemmin Mara ei asiaa erittelekään.
"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 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. So after making that film, I decided, 'OK, I'm just not going to act anymore unless it's something that I feel that way about.'"
