A Nightmare on Elm Street films.
While Platinum Dunes is winding down on their reboot of A Nightmare on Elm Street, we caught up with your brand new Freddy Krueger, Jackie Earle Haley, who tells Bloody-Disgusting exclusively that he's signed on to return for more razor-glove teen terrorizing. "Two more," prompting us to confirm, "So, three total?" Haley smiles, displaying three fingers, "yeah."
Principal photography on the first

They both also stand as a tentpole, that Hollywood no longer knows how to make great films like them two mentioned above.
I was actually surprised though to find out that Die Hard was a book to film adaptation.
got the email, mate. Responding to it now :)
Same here all the freddy's are brilliant to me, lol and our opinions are the opposite, when it come to New Nightmare and Freddy's Revenge. But Revenge was pretty dark, while swaying to the comical side.
I agree with you on the Terminator trilogy thing, i like Salvation, i mean it was precisely T2, but it was good, the only thing that spoiled it for me, was No more Worthington and the CGI Arnie, i got a good laugh out of the Arnie though.
The coolest thing i like about Dream Warriors though is that in my i explain why Joey, doesn't speak.
Because in my prequel he is the first to encounter Kruger The Monster
Cant see a weak R-rated ANOES working though... This film will have to be a hard R, talking 18 rating over here in the UK.
LOL
Did you enjoy the 3rd installment more than the 1st because the 3rd installment, had boobs, Newkill?
Dream Warriors is my 2nd fav though, obviously my fav being the first and after the 3rd, Dream Master and New Nightmare.
I loved the concept to New Nightmare how they reunited all the original cast memebers well some of them and crew members and had everyone play themself.
Even Kruger was slated down in the credits as himself, even though we know its Robert Englund, but its pretty cool concept though.
I reckon they will imitate the concept that Freddy has in New Nightmare in the remake, you know like a more darker dressed Kruger
Ok in response to do this. Here is my annoyance in this article.
JEH comfirmed in an interview he was doing ONE Nightmare Film, not THREE, ONE.
This film first off doesn't not need to be placed on a reboot slate, but the PREQUEL platter.
They really can't beat the creativity of the minds in the 80s, i mean come on they ran out of production money making the original to this because no one had faith in it except Robert Shaye.
And come on honestly with the amount of remakes coming out this year.
Does Hollywood have any creativity left?
There will just make this a darker Freddy, more blood, more gore blah blah, no originality like getting dragged up a wall and slashed invisibly before landing splat on the bed in a massive pool of blood while the victim BF, watches helplessly or Johnny Depp getting sucked in a bed and being spat back out with galloons of blood.
Ok yes, JEH is the best candidate for Kruger, but this film doesn't need a remake treatment it needs a prequel about what happens before he was Freddy Kruger "THE MONSTER" there is a lot of backstory to work with there, that can be placed in one spectacular film.
And how i know this is because i once wrote a Nightmare Prequel entitled
'A Dream On Elm St: The 1st Nightmare'
And Hollywood is just raping my favourite franchise ATM, which is pissing me off.
The reason remakes fair well is, because they bring profit back to the old version, I.E when this reamek gets released watch how fast New Line Cinema will re release the Nightmare films seperately, in probably special editions and on blu-ray.
Because people watch the remake and then watch the original if they haven't seen it and then compare the two, in which technically A Nightmare On Elm St is literally one of the most hardest horror movies to surpass, which i doubt a Hollywood team with no creativity even has the ability to fathom that piece of knowledge.
And i hope platinum goes bankrupt, which is unlikely, but still.
Why fucking 3 films, why turn it into a franchise again. Hope this fails epically
