“Not strong enough, yet. Well, I will be soon enough. Until then… I’ll let Jason have some fun.” That quote, spoken by Mr. Kruger, is from FREDDY VS. JASON and today, I can’t help wondering if Platinum Dunes is thinking along the same lines. Just last week, Mr. Ammon let the shredded cat out of the bag that the studio had lined up a remake of A NIGHTMARE ON ELM STREET as their very next project after next Friday’s Jason re-imagining opens.
I can’t believe this is happening (in a mostly good way), but apparently it is the honest-to-goodness truth! Just today, Brad Fuller revealed info regarding Dunes’ new NIGHTMARE: ”We’re hopeful to announce a director in the next two or three weeks. Once that happens, we’re going to try and move ahead and start to get that movie going first. I believe that NIGHTMARE is the next movie we’re shooting and we’re hoping to shoot that in April/May in Chicago.”
Wow, so they’re saying that Freddy and his claw could be off and running/stalking in just a couple of months?! That’s crazy (again, in a good way)! I know many may be thinking “enough with this remake shit” but if Dunes plans on treating Freddy the same way it seems they’ve treated Jason (who looks incredible), I can’t help but feel excited. I guess we’ll be reporting a lot more NIGHTMARE news very soon, so hold on to your green and red striped sweaters!
