A few bad ideas for Fred

From IESB, "The studio is trying to get a new "Freddy" film up for a late 2007 start. It probably won't be the much-rumored "prequel" film, but either a new "Freddy Vs..." movie or another 'solo' adventure for Freddy - with one treatment in particular, floating around, getting quite a lot of buzz; its simply about the new young couple (hence, young CW-esque stars get to headline) who buy into their first home together... yep, you guessed it... THAT house.

The other option is a new "Freddy Vs. Michael" movie. There's a lot of red-tape to get through there. John Carpenter is trying to help sort it out. This film seems to be the most popular option on the table at the moment, so if they can get it up, they will. My money is on this one, too.

Anyway, thought you'd be interested. Next year, there will be a new Freddy film out.Call me... 'The Rewinder'
Recently at MTV.com, Freddy Krueger himself, Robert Englund said he had heard a few tidbits about Freddy's future.
"I've heard [the movie studio] is in talks with John Carpenter [director of the original 'Halloween']. So maybe Freddy and Jason are going to meet up with Michael Myers. I also hear they have a really good prequel script to 'A Nightmare on Elm Street' being passed around. And there was talk that John McNaughton, director of 'Henry: Portrait of a Serial Killer,' was attached."

God, NO, do not do a prequel! Because that would mean live, unburnt Freddy with no dream powers, and who cares?

I'm also very against an Elm Street that centers on Nancy's house. This is NOT a haunted-house franchise. They tried to pull that in Elm St. 2 and it died on the vine.

Vs. Michale Myers? That'll be so different from Vs. Jason, they have to do it!

God, these are all bad ideas. "You are ALL my children!"

Yee-up. I have little to no interest in another Freddie movie. He should be retired, sitting on a beach wearing sunglasses.
