A Nightmare On Elm St. & Friday The 13th franchises: According to a scoop over at Ain't It Cool, New Line has proclaimed that the 2 series the new Freddy vs. Jason film is being based off of (A Nightmare On Elm St. & Friday the 13th) might not be ending after the film hits theaters in August.
In a recent sit down at Comic-con, Robert Englund, who plays 'Freddy Krueger', talked about his view on the future of the 2 franchises:
"I think they may be testing the waters at New Line to put some fresh blood in (both franchises) and see what they can come up with. I have a hunch that New Line has one or two great FRIDAY THE 13TH scripts on the shelf. I *know* there's one or two great NIGHTMARE ON ELM STREET scripts. I know there was one done way back around Part Three, with the sister of Tina from Part One, and it was a great female woman warrior - older, like a thirty year old, coming back to avenge her sister's death. I know there's talk of a prequel to ELM STREET with Robert Englund or another actor playing Freddy the serial killer before… the vigilante parents torched him to death. So, that's interesting. I've heard that Wes has said no to that, but somebody else might pick that up."
