"Freddy's back. Again."

Reuters reports that "New Line is in talks with horror production company Platinum Dunes to re-launch the "A 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...
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..."

Here's the rest of the story.

Bluedreamer27, it's interesting that Hollywood is bringing back so many movie franchises that we thought were done. I just the writing was actually creative in the ones that I have so far.
