Rumor has it that the crew of Platinum Dunes' A NIGHTMARE ON ELM STREET is set to shoot tonight in Gary, Indiana on the site of the former City Methodist Church. The Church, located at the corner of 6th Avenue and Washington Street has been abandoned for years, and should lend a creepy vibe to the production.FANGORIA has your first-look at the location they'll be using after the jump!
This photo was taken at the site being used for the ANOES remake last September, as friend of the site Richard Diaz was using the Gary location for his indie film DISTORTION (see the trailer here). More photos of the post-apocalyptic looking Church can be found on DISTORTION's official production blog located here. The church was also used in another indie, a modernized telling of MACBETH (see trailer here).
Here's another look at the incredibly damaged structure pulled from Google Maps:
For a great look inside, check out the music video from Gospel Artist Dwayne Coleman below:
According to The Northwest Indiana Times, star Jackie Earle Haley will be on-set as Freddy Krueger as well.

The overnight shooting did occur in Gary last night! I am a Gary native and a freelance writer and I visited the set from 6:30 to 11p.m. I had a meeting this morning or else I would have tried to stay until at least 1 a.m. to see when the intense filming took place. It was a dream sequence shot inside City Methodist Church and the crew was there until 6:30 this morning. They will retun sometime next month to do filming possibly at another church on Tyler Street.
