"Nightmare" to haunt big screen again

By Borys Kit Tue Jan 29, 8:50 PM ET

LOS ANGELES (Hollywood Reporter) - Freddy's back. Again.

New Line is in talks with horror production company Platinum Dunes to re-launch the "Nightmare on Elm Street" movie series, the franchise that helped establish the studio.

The first "Nightmare" movie was made by Wes Craven and released in 1984. The runaway success of the film spawned a slew of sequels and created one of the most popular villains in screen history, Freddy Krueger, played by Robert Englund.

The film centered on Krueger, a serial child killer murdered by angry parents, who returns with a burned face and a razor glove to terrorize teens in their dreams.

A screenwriter will be hired once the Writers Guild of America strike ends. The producers -- Michael Bay, Brad Fuller and Andrew Form -- are hoping to focus part of the new movie on Krueger's backstory.

Platinum Dunes is prepping another re-launch, "Friday the 13th," which will be directed by Marcus Nispel for New Line, for whom it remade "The Texas Chainsaw Massacre" and its sequel.

The company is remaking "Near Dark" for Rogue and "The Birds" for Universal. It is also prepping a non-remake project, an untitled David Goyer thriller.

I wish I had a fedora like Freddy's, so I could vomit into it and send it to Michael Bay and Marcus Nispel.

Remaking The Birds and Near Dark too... yay for originality.

I really need to get 5000 Beam Bucks so I can make my member title "The Bearer of Bad News."

I think there's also a Friday the 13th remake in the works.

How much you want to bet that Jason's mom is cut out and he gets the hockey mask on day one?

YAWN!

I'd like to see Japan start remaking our horror movies for a change. It'd be cool to see some fucked up insane Japanese Freddy Krueger mayhem.

This might suck...or it might be decent. I just always remember that the one saving grace for any film or series that's being remade is that the originals will never die and will always be available.

[Odetta]

I'm really disappointed that any Alfred Hitchcock would be remade... The Birds is my all-time fave and I can't imagine it any other way!

THAT being said, leave Freddy alone as well!

A Michael Bay produced remake of The Birds will have exploding birds.

You heard it here first.

Not to mention either Nicolas Cage or Jamie Foxx with their shirt off for most of the movie. I call this the Bruckheimer Gay Porn Paradigm. Michael Bay was a quick learner.

I'm looking forward to the action hero doing something heroic and action-packed and saying "I'm giving you the bird!"

STOP IT! ALL OF YOU, JUST STOP!!!!




(mainly because of how likely this could happen)

The action hero squashes a rabid chicken under his bootheel and says, "Who's fowl now, motherf*cker?"

[Heather19]

Oh no! I really hope that's not true about The Birds. Why would you even what to remake a Hitchcock film, it won't even compare. Remember what happened with Psycho.

[Mattrick]

I should be writing/directing this. Would make it some freaky shit. Screw Freddy being comical, that is the old Freddy. The new one should be one evil mother fucker and there should be some creepy nightmares for him to kill in. Take the boiler room to the max.

If it's anything like Halloween then I'm sad already. I can deal with Jason (never liked him) and Michael Myers being messed with by not Freddy! NOT FREDDY!
