Original A Nightmare on Elm was not a 3-D .
In the opinion of the Platinum Dunes producers , if a film is not initially conceived as 3-D then it should not be converted to 3-D . In other words , given that the original A Nightmare on Elm Street was not a 3-D film , Fuller and Form fought with the studio to keep the remake from being converted to 3-D . The producers note that at the end of the day , Warner Bros. and Platinum Dunes came to the agreement that presenting the film in 3-D would not be presenting `` the best version of the movie '' .
