Nightmare Redux

Well, it's official. Platinum Dunes producers Michael Bay, Brad Fuller and Andrew Form are going to be involved in the reboot of the Nightmare On Elm Street franchise.

"It's our next movie," confirmed Form, "hopefully shooting this spring."


Brad Fuller states: "It's like what we're doing to Friday the 13th," He goes on to say, "It's not Freddy cracking jokes. We want to make a horrifying movie. The concept is so scary, don't fall asleep or you'll die. This guy gets you when you're most vulnerable, in your sleep. We love that. That's the basis of the movie. It'll be most similar to the first one but in terms of kills and dreams we'll borrow from the entire series."

They also mentioned they want someone new to play Freddy Krueger but want Robert Englund to have some sort of part in the film.

Sigh.

I mean honestly, if a remake had to be done, Platinum Dunes are the folks to do it. Still...I'm nervous about this...really nervous.
