freddy prequel

[gothicvamp1888]

i apologise if this thread has already been raised but i havent noticed it so here goes.

i just wondered what your thoughts were of Robert Englunds idea of a prequel to nightmare on elm street.

personally i think it would work

[FilthyCannibal]

He better hurry and get all of his Elm St. movies done that he wants to do. He's not getting any younger. I think the franchise has been just about pumped dry, but a prequel might bring some people out to see it. I would.

[dantehorrorfan]

ME TOO IT WOULD KICK ASS!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

[VenomX]

I think that If they try to make too many more Elm St. Movies they might have to find a new Freddy.

And there is WAY too much potentiel for disaster there.

[MARK MYERS]

they definatley shud make a prequel to show how freddy was born they could make two movies out of this definatley showing how he became deranged! not just through the rape of his mother but also the murder of the children that he gets caught for and let off because we only got to breifly touch on that in the epsiode we get to find a little info about it but again it is only touchy.

[Steve_Hutchison]

We get a glimpse of that in Freddy's Nightmares (can't remember which episode but one is dedicated to that). If they do the prequel, yes they must do it fast. There's plenty of time for sequels but they will need a lot of make up to make Englund as young as he needs to be.

I think a prequel would be a nice addition to the movies. It would be a touchy subject though.. Child molesting .. It would have to be done just right .. Y'know?

A good director can make anything just right.

I disagree. It would be a good writer. :p

I was just pointing out that child molesting is a very touchy subject.

[Steve_Hutchison]

I disagree. The director decide what ends up on screen and how it's filmed. I guess you could say its both.

[MichaelMyers]

I'd watch it.

[last bad move]

ya i agree with mark myers i think they should make it i allways wanted to see more about freddys past then what i say in the movies. and i would like to check out that freddys nighmares i never seen any of them and it pisses me off thanx steve ill look into that

But I can't remember which episode it is. I'd buy all of them if they were released on DVD.

[Steve_Hutchison]

Found it. It's called
No More Mister Nice Guy (http://www.amazon.com/exec/obidos/tg/detail/-/6302166934/qid=1097747309/shadeca-20)

[gothicvamp1888]

does anyone feel that explaining how fred krueger became freddy would spoil the persona of the character we know today or do u think it would strengthen the whole storyline??

and remember, it was robert englunds idea for the prequel, i think to be fair to the series, wes craven should direct it, altho i don't think he will.

[MARK MYERS]

yes of course it would be fair as it has already been done but onlt in freddys nightmares.


Dude i found it in virgin megastores but they have only released series one on dvd just 3 episodes

[wufong]

o ya it will be great.:rolleyes: . because we all know how great all the other prequeals have been. like say....the star wars prequels. thetrouble with prequels is that the endings are locked in. ya gonna be sitting through the whole movie with the knowledge of whats gonna happen at the end, with absolutly no change of a weird twist at the end. prequels suck. they're a bomb of a idea. if you don't believe me just ask george lucas. hahahahahahahahahahahaha

[xI_dork_Ix]

I think it'd be a great movie to watch. I agree it needs to be done fast because of aging. haha

[evilfromhell]

o come on everybody. yes i agree it could be good. i repeat could. but lets all not forget how dumb the rest of them were. when i saw the first one (which is the only one i liked) i was like alrught cant wait to see the rest. i saw the rest and they were all the dumbest "scary movies" i have ever seen in my life. which hasnt been very long but is long enough to know that they are dumb. yes it could be a good movie i do see potentail in it. and yes i would go see it. only cause ive wasted very valuable hours watching the other ones. so why not waste more on seeing this movie.

[Carpe Noctem]

I really don't think a prequel would be so bad. It wouldn't really be much of a horror as much as it would be a thriller type of movie.

Learn from your mistakes, do us a favor and don't bother wasting a valuable seat.

[horror_master]

I think it would be cool if they did it.

ditto.

the only thing good about prequals is you get to see the earlier development in the characters....and thats about it.

as for learning about Freddy... do we really nead a whole film telling us.

no we dont.

The prequel would be a film about a child molester.
Boy that would be fun !

[KRUGERKID13]

if there gonna do another id rather see a prequal that way we could see em torture the little brats and not just deserveing teens

[urgeok]

oooooooohh-kaaaaaaaaayyyy

is it just me or are little warning flags going up for other people too ?

[KRUGERKID13]

whats that supposed to mean

[urgeok]

you want to watch Freddy sexually abuse and murder children ?

[ShankS]

exactly...cant see the point of a prequal.

[tachii]

may have potential (gives benefit of doubt)
hopefully it won't be as bad as freddy's dead or j vs. f
(crosses fingers and twists neighbor's head)

[voltron]

Good or bad, I'll wind up watching it.

SUPER:The Begining

anyone any ideas about between 15 and 40 mins ???

[horror_master]

If they did do a perquel to the series anyone who has watched the series knows how the movie will end.

[Palmer]

When was it ever said he molested childeren??.....never.....just murdered them...everytime nancy tells who he is its just murder not molester and I have the dvd collection with the wes interviews he was just a murderer.....I dont think it would have went over real well if they through in the molesting....another thing have you ever seen him sexually assault teens in there dreams????? besides joey but I dont think that counts......I think nancy might have been the closest but that was just the tounge coming out of the phone thing .....far from sexual abuse..

[massacre man]

[Palmer]

ya ya your right I wasnt even thinking of f vs j he said something kind of sexual to her to didnt he???

[kung-fu-jesus]

the movie would be good. it should simply be titled freddy krugger, not something like nightmare on elm st. the beggining.

craven should direct.

as for child melestation being a touchy sub, they never actualy said freddy was a melester, just a murderer.

as for any more sequils, robert could do it, with the exception of vs. the freddy character hasent been very active( physicly).

[Palmer]

The reason I think they didnt title him as molester to...... is becuze back when everyone was a freddy maniac and worshiped him...do you think people would have done that if he was a molester...

[kung-fu-jesus]

yeah, we only knew freddythe dream demon.

[bloody_ribcut]

a renewal of fred's rep is a must.

[crazy raplh]

maybe they should have freedy prince Jr do the role of a young freddy?

hah.

Yeah, he could put a "hip young cast" in it, give it a PG-13 rating and once again, make me pissed off at him.

i dont mind watching middle aged tits.

[-->oscam5<--]

The problem with a freddy prequel is they'd have to muck with what has always been established. He killed CHILDREN, like, 10 year olds. There is no way in hell any ratings board would pass a film with graphic child murder in. It would all have to be implied, and the murders will probably end up like in the beginning of Freddy vs Jason, all implied.
As for the molestation subject, its pretty much known he lusted after kids, from the tongue phone all the way up to feeling under lori's skirt.
The only reason he murdered teens in his afterlife was because he was making the adults pay for murdering him.

[Palmer]

I guess I was wrong I just got freddys nightmares the series on dvd and on the episode its my party and youll die if I want you to ....A girl the ditched freddy for the prom...says he molested and killed 12 childeren ........

I think it would be intersting to see what happens before hand. Before he comes a demon of nightmares

he raped and killed children.

i dont think thats very interesting myself.

[Angra]

DAMN!!!

I thought this was a thread about a prequel to "Freddy got fingered". I got so disappointed..:rolleyes: :p

[ownaGe]

The thought of a proper Freddy sequel is just too good to be true . Wes Craven would be an alright idea, but im scared it might be a lot like some of his newer movies. They need to make it REALLY scary and brutal.

everyone remembers the directors of movies, but directors do not really do any tangible work. The real people who deserve credit is cinemotography executives, producers, and writers. The director is just some nut who has to be completely pleased before the movie can be published.
