The very reliable Bloody-Disgusting claims to have gotten some info from an insider at New Line Cinema who indicates that the studio is "actively developing another Nightmare on Elm Street movie." The new installment will not be a sequel to the very-fun Freddy vs. Jason, nor will it be the long-rumored prequel. Just what will it be, exactly? A remake of the original? A continuation of the original series' continuity? Will Robert Englund even be involved? None of this is known yet. Apparently New Line is batting around a whole bunch of different concepts. Stay tuned, Freddyphiles.

Also, just wanted to take a quick moment to thank Steve at the excellent Horrors of It All pre-code comics website for his kind words over the weekend. And thanks for the link--I only wish it was in regards to happier news than a lame Fly retread!

Fu*k yeah!! Hopefully they handle this one respectfully.
That's the thing with Freddy, he's versatile.
I'd say it's probably a remake. I mean, find me a film they're not remaking these days?
Even if it's not, I don't think there's much juice to squeeze left in the Nightmare on Elm Street franchise, it's been done to death. At least the New Nightmare was somewhat different.
I wouldn't mind seeing a backstory on Fred, something handled a little less cliched and annoying like Rob Zombie's pitiful Mike Meyers backstory.
Yeah, I admit to being up for another Freddy movie. Sad but true. *grins*
Nothing to be ashamed of, Dove. We all love the scarred-up S.O.B.
Please don't let it be a remake!

My money's on a remake :-)
Well, the original was low budget. Not that there is anything wrong with it - I prefer low budget horror. Wonder who is directing, probably not Craven.
