Freddy's back. Again. New Line is in talks with horror production company Platinum Dunes to relaunch the "A Nightmare on Elm Street" movie series, the franchise that helped establish the studio. Partners Michael Bay, Brad Fuller and Andrew Form will produce the remake. The first "Nightmare" movie was written and directed by Wes Craven and released in 1984. Its runaway success spawned a slew of films and created one of the most popular villains in screen history, Freddy Krueger, played by Robert Englund. The films' premise centered on Krueger, a serial child killer murdered by angry parents who returns with a burned face and razor glove to terrorize teens in their dreams. A writer will be hired when the strike ends. Platinum Dunes is prepping another relaunch, "Friday the 13th," which will be directed by Marcus Nispel for New Line, for whom they remade "The Texas Chainsaw Massacre" and its sequel. The company is remaking "Near Dark" for Rogue and "The Birds" for Universal. It also is prepping a nonremake project, an untitled David Goyer thriller. www.hollywoodreporter.com/hr/content_display/film/news/e3id7a38beb81e650f9f21a741836c8498a |

Yep. As soon as Halloween came out, all of these were announced. Even Child's play. Halloween is the only one I've ever liked out of any of them. So maybe they'll actually make some of these good for the first time ever.

Why...in the name of everything sacred in this world....would they REMAKE Nightmare on Elm St?
If this doesn't have Robert Englund, I riot.

Seriously they can make a Nightmare flick with Englund. It would be like a Rocky or Rambo movies without Sly. You just cant  ing do it. |

The way I see if they have to make any more Nightmares or Friday they 13th they might as well do some remakes. It doesn't hurt the original franchise as much as any of the die hard fans want to believe and honestly I would rather see a remake that has potential then another really bad sequel.

I read in the Daily Mirror (UK newspapaer) today, that Englund will not be filling the role of Freddy.
As for Michael Bay directing. I have doubts about 'Elm Street, but Friday 13th is promising, as Jason is a big guy and the bigger, the badder. Should be interesting to see what they do with him.

I've heard a rumor about Ben Foster taking over as Freddy, and while I would much rather have Robert wearing the sweater I'll take Ben, something tells me he can pull it off.

If it's without England it is the worst decision ever.
I'm all for it if England returns, if not... I won't be watching the movie ever. I refuse to watch someone else play Freddy.

Englund did Freddy vs. Jason, why won't he do this one? I may see it even if he isn't in it.
