Bloody Disgusting is reporting that New Line Cinema is putting a new
A Nightmare On Elm Street film into production.
That's right, all previous plans have been scrapped. There will be no prequel, and the studio is back at square one with the project. Ideas are currently being thrown around, but a solid story idea has yet to be locked down.
As of this moment,
Freddy vs Jason 2 has been put on indefinite hold. Work on a new
A Nightmare On Elm Street will most likely go forward after the
Friday the 13th redo is completed.

michael and jason never run when people are looking, yet they never seem to be too far behind.
And that's really funny "err2005"...seriously.
lets see for the uber-hollywood version we can get shia labiff to play freddy, and it can be directed by brett ratner, and we can get hanna montana to play the damsel in distress and her cop father can be played by clive owen.
because fuck it, if youre gonna shit all over a classic you may as well take the time and spray diarrhea on it too.
As for a "Nightmare" sequel, the original was the only really good one in the series. The more about Freddy that was revealed as the series wore on and the more screentime he had, the less scary and tantalizing the series became, and Freddy came to be known as everyone's favorite dicer. Maybe if they went back to the basics it'd succeed. If they did that, then I'd be interested in seeing it. Cuz it'd be better than a new "Nightmare" sequel altogether.
As for "Wes Craven's New Nightmare," it was sorta about Craven's career, as he even said it was on a documentary about him on disc 2 of the original "Hills Have Eyes" special edition DVD. Therefore, Freddy was in it, but it wasn't supposed to be seen as a nightmare sequel, since Wes himself was a star in the film, and it spoke of his career at large...with Freddy popping in and out at random times. So that was good. There was a long segment on the film in said documentary, and though I've yet to see "New Nightmare," I really want to! It looks rather interesting.
Depending on how good or bad F13 does may depend on whether or not there'll be an FVJ2. But they should still be going ahead with the "Nightmare" film regardless, since that too has a large cult following.
Robert Englund is stuck in b-movie hell now, he seemed interested in a new Nightmare movie a few years back, but stated he couldn't do the heavy work load anymore.

A New Nightmare pretty much stated that the first 6 Elm Street movies where movies in themselves, with the last one being about demon who takes Freddy's appearance in real life.
erncrazy. They tried New Nightmare not as a remake, but as a sequel, that would bring Freddy into reality. Sure it wasn't that great, but it wasn't a remake at all. Are you sure you've even seen it?
