A Nightmare on Elm Street Remake, Freddy vs. Jason 2 Update
By Nix | January 6, 2008 (11:22 pm)
New Line Cinema is so proud of itself with the success of Rob Zombie’s recent “Halloween” reboot that they want to do it again — except this time with Wes Craven’s “A Nightmare on Elm Street”. Hey, why the hell not? If remaking something like “Halloween”, a seminal piece of work in its genre, was no big deal to the suits, redoing “Nightmare”, which rates slightly lower on the horror chain, isn’t even a question. And what about “Freddy vs. Jason 2″?
More:
This afternoon I got some official news from a source inside at New Line Cinema as to what exactly is going on with our favorite horror icons, Freddy Krueger and Jason Voorhees. Our anonymous source tells us that as of right now, today, this very moment there are NO immediate plans for Freddy vs Jason 2. Bummer. But there is some good news! We’ve been informed that New Line is actively developing another Nightmare on Elm Street movie. Everything you’ve heard before has been scrapped (prequel) and they’re back at square one. Ideas are being thrown around without anything solid locked down.
That’s too bad, because I’ve been looking forward to a “Freddy vs. Jason 2″, especially if they throw in Ash, as was the rumor all those years ago.
But a remake of “A Nightmare on Elm Street”? Urgh. It’s Hollywood. I would spend the rest of this column calling them devoid of originality and all that trite, but what’s the point?

kill me now, so many remakes that are crap
i love the freddy krueger movies and if i have to see anything new i want it to be freddy vs jason with robert englund NOT A REMAKE with a new freddy
I agree with u completely. I dont necessarilly mind all of these new remakes, but remaking Nightmare on Elm St. probably would be a mistake because let’s just face it… there is no other Robert Englund…
Very true, Robert Englund is the only person who can play Freddy! He IS Freddy!
What I think should happen is a Freddy Vs. Jason 2 and if they don’t make a sequel, I say: PROTEST!!!
They cannot make a movie like Freddy Vs. Jason and NOT make a sequel! It’s that simple!
And one more thing, in the third one I think they should fight Leahterface from Texas Chainsaw Massacre!! What do you think?
But please, NO remakes of the Nightmare series, maybe another sequel would be nice but concentrate on Freddy Vs. Jason 2 first! lol
lol Yeah I woulda thought that it would have been freddy vs leather face vs jason for the sequel, well at first I thought it would just be freddy vs jason again but, yeah if they were gonna add another character i dont think it should be ash thats so simple, a hardcore killer like leatherface, that would be awesome, but the only problem is that jason and freddy are both superior as there almost immortal, lol and leatherface is sick but hes mortal. lol
USE MICHAEL MYERS YA DIGG HE WILL MURDER ALL OF EM SAY HE WONT
Hmm. Well lets see. Ash and Freddy already have a bit of history between them. You see in the first Nightmare when Heather Langencamp is talking to her boy friend across the street(portraid by Johnny Dep) the movie playing on the tv was Evil Dead. Then as homage to Wes Craven doing that in the first Nightmare. Sam Raimi placed Ol Fred Kruegers claw hanging above the threshold in the shack when Ash was retrieving the Necromonicon in Evil Dead 2. So I think having Ash in a sequel for Fred Vs Jason is just a natural transition. Besides I am Freddys Biggest fan and would still like to see Ash Kick both of their asses. Yet it is undeniable that Leatherface and Mike Myers rule. But they are no Freddy Krueger.
Seriously though Michael Myers should be in it, They should do the Freddy vs Jason sequel.
Jason’s heals in water but he doesn’t like it.
Freddy doesn’t like Fire
Michael probably doesn’t like Cheesecake or Mr. Goodbars but other then that how could they hurt Michael.
Freddy vs Jason 2!
Another Sequel to Halloween!
Friday the 13th!
A Nightmare on Elm Street..whatever they do
I’ll be okay with that.
Also if their going to release Phantasm 5 or if their going to make it do it now because it would be bad times if Angus Scrimm Died and it wasn’t released. He’s 81 years old, So Hurry Up!
you know i am a hardcore freddy krueger fan and new line is retared for even thinking about remake a nightmare on elm street i mean come on now they cant think of any new ideas for horror movies that have to remake the classics
the things i like about remakes are untold stories in thhe beginning, the gore, graphics,and quality
