The new Nightmare on Elm Street remake
July 23, 2008
Cinemagoers are set to experience an entirely new Nightmare on Elm Street, with Warner Bros. today hiring a scribe to pen a remake of the horror classic. Wesley Strick, who knows a thing or two about scares having written Arachnophobia, Cape Fear and Wolf in the early 1990s, has been charged with the task of re-imagining the scare-fest for a new generation. According to Variety, Strick's re-boot will retain the original's high school setting, but delve deeper into the psychology of the razor-gloved serial killer Freddy Krueger. Warner hopes to have the film in cinemas in 2009, to coincide with the original's 25th anniversary. |

Zombie's Halloween intro is bound to influence similar-themed remakes. :rolleyes: |
Freddy Krueger has a psychology?

It seems the wrong way to go, to me. Krueger is an undead demon ghost supernatural being thing that can get in your dreams. To show a backstory for him will serve to "humanize" him- but do you want a humanized nightmare?

If they do it right I think this will be great, because I've always wanted to see more of Freddy when he's human. But I don't really want him to have a reason for being evil. I just hope they show him when he was a human more.
