timdrake 1,927 Posted July 13 Share Posted July 13 Paramount Pictures has closed a deal for the U.S. rights to the original screenplay of A Nightmare on Elm Street, the movie written and directed by Wes Craven that kicked off the popular horror franchise featuring the killer with the metal-claw gloved hand and burned face, and will adapt it into a new feature. The new Nightmare on Elm Street will hail from Paramount’s new genre label, Paramount Primal, led by J.D. Lifshitz and Raphael Margules, the producers behind films such as Barbarian and Friendship. The U.S. rights are being licensed from the Craven estate, which includes Craven’s widow Iya Labunka and Craven’s son Jonathan Craven. The duo will produce the new iteration with Marc Toberoff, the attorney-turned-producer who specializes in copyright law. Lifshitz and Margules will executive produce for Paramount Primal. “We look forward to bringing the world of Wes Craven’s Nightmare on Elm Street to a new and completely engaged generation of fans,” said Labunka in a statement. “We know that Wes would have been thrilled to see how horror is taking its long overdue place in the cultural canon. We can’t wait for all of us to sit together in a dark theatre – around the campfire of today – as the next chapter of the Nightmare story unfolds.” Lifshitz and Margules stated, “We can’t remember a time before we were fans of Wes Craven. The fact that Iya and Jonathan have entrusted us with this opportunity to help usher a new story into this world is an honor beyond words. We look forward to working alongside them to bring a terrifying new nightmare to audiences everywhere, and to welcome Freddy home.” Read more here: https://www.hollywoodreporter.com/movies/movie-news/nightmare-on-elm-street-movie-paramount-1236646496/ 1 5 Quote Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Ricardo 8,133 Posted July 13 Share Posted July 13 I liked Barbarian, so I hope they make a great film. I also enjoyed the 2010 remake, even though it was heavily criticized. 3 Quote Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

It’s been dormant for 16 years, so it’s not like folks are sick of it for being overexposed or anything. and with pseudo-supernatural horror thriving so much these days, this could work Edited July 13 by timdrake 1 1 Quote Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Duella Dvil 11,574 Posted July 13 Share Posted July 13 Hopefully Dead By Daylight finally gets new cosmetics for Freddy after this. I never play him because he's so ugly (derogatory) www.instagram.com/theduella666 Quote Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

SS77 2,142 Posted July 13 Share Posted July 13 Finallyyyyy. My FAVE horror franchise Halloween, Scream, Friday The 13th, and Texas Chainsaw Massacre have gotten all the love for the past 20 years. It’s time for the best I always assumed that Nightmare was a lot harder to move forward due to its main antagonist (Freddy) not being some anonymous and sometimes mute killing machine. Freddy has a personality and with the exception one one film, been exclusively portrayed by Robert England. very exciting 3 Quote Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

lasagna 3,405 Posted July 14 Share Posted July 14 (edited) ive wanted a nightmare revival for almost 2 decades now and idk if this would work but i kinda hope they just continue it? i don't want a soft reboot where it starts again like after the first movie. instead just make it so that everything that happened is canon, the end of the original series, nancy dying in 3, the remake happening too hell who cares, and they just continue it on. bring heather langenkamp and robert englund back and just don't address it, i promise you not a soul would give a damn. nightmare on elm street is the perfect franchise to have a simpsons style continuity where its a floating timeline. and and and i feel like it could be perfectly brushed away with a line as simple as them talking about someone from the original films dying and being like "was that a dream?" everythings happened, everyone died, but genuinely who cares just do more of it with langenkamp and englund thank you for coming to my ted talk Edited July 14 by lasagna Quote Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
