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.
