Cult actor Robert Englund, famous for his role as Freddy Krueger and of lovable extraterrestrial in the eighties series, V, Extraterrestrial Invasion, has not been taken into account by the producers planning the remake of the nightmare Freddy Krueger.
The producers Brad Fuller and Andrew Form they mentioned that englund is out of the project, during the presentation of the (other) remake of Friday the 13th at New York Comic Con. “We know that the fans will not agree very much with this, but we are aware that a new version implies renewing practically everything, except the essence of the story. Robert Englund is an icon that will stay there for a long time, but it's time to do something else»Reported from the producer Platinum Dunes, property of Michael Bay.
The idea, according to the producers, is to rethink both the Freddy and Jason franchises, modernizing the story, without changing it too much: "With Friday the 13th We had conflicts at the beginning, because the paraphernalia of the 80's is very different from today. However, we acquire the necessary experience to know what we have to do and with A Nightmare on Elm Street we can assure you that you will not be disappointed », they ended.
For this new rebirth has already been hired Wes Craven, the creator of the saga, to write the script for Freddy, together with Wesley Strick. The selected director would be Marcus Nispel, who already has experience in horror films due to his time in the new The Texas Chainsaw Massacre.
