A while back it was being reported that there were two competing A Nightmare on Elm Street movies going into production. Yeah, wild times. And today, it appears we're back to one. Warner Bros.' version, which was to be written and directed by Lee Cronin, is dead. And in cahoots with the Craven estate, Paramount Primal's version is moving forward.
The fight over who gets to bring Freddy Krueger back is over.
Dread Central can exclusively report that Warner Bros.’ competing A Nightmare on Elm Street project, which had Lee Cronin in talks to write and direct, is no longer moving forward. Paramount Primal is now the only company developing a new Elm Street film.
The new movie will be based on the original screenplay by the late, great Wes Craven.
