Talking "Nightmare" to haunt big screen again

LOS ANGELES (Hollywood Reporter) - Freddy's back. Again.


New Line is in talks with horror production company Platinum Dunes to re-launch the "Nightmare on Elm Street" movie series, the franchise that helped establish the studio.

The first "Nightmare" movie was made by Wes Craven and released in 1984. The runaway success of the film spawned a slew of sequels and created one of the most popular villains in screen history, Freddy Krueger, played by Robert Englund.

The film centered on Krueger, a serial child killer murdered by angry parents, who returns with a burned face and a razor glove to terrorize teens in their dreams.

A screenwriter will be hired once the Writers Guild of America strike ends. The producers -- Michael Bay, Brad Fuller and Andrew Form -- are hoping to focus part of the new movie on Krueger's backstory.

Platinum Dunes is prepping another re-launch, "Friday the 13th," which will be directed by Marcus Nispel for New Line, for whom it remade "The Texas Chainsaw Massacre" and its sequel.

The company is remaking "Near Dark" for Rogue and "The Birds" for Universal. It is also prepping a non-remake project, an untitled David Goyer thriller.

I kind of would like to see a prequal written script as they talked about before. I'm sure it would push a lot of peoples buttons, with the killings of the little kids. But I would love to see this done.

I agree...It would bring something fresh and new to the series...Just hope it's not 1/3 backstory, then remake after that. NOES is one of my all time favorites and can only hope they don"t change that by reimaging the movie

This is going to be a remake, meaning there's no way Englund will be playing Freddy. That would connect it to closely to the original.

Englund IS Freddy I don't care what anyone says. NO ONE can replace him.
