Producers Andrew Form and Brad Fuller who, along with Michael Bay, are behind the reboot of the Friday the 13th film series, just announced that they’re currently in the middle of making a deal to bring Nightmare on Elm Street back to theaters with a modern storyline. Fuller was quick to say “the deal hasn’t been done yet,” but based on the cheers from the audience, people are excited for it. Granted, we’re sitting in a panel for Friday the 13th, so this audience might be a bit biased.
Uh, I think I would have preferred John McNaughton’s proposed “Elm Street” prequel as written by New Orleans playwright R.J. Tsarov, who is ten times more talented than whatever hack Bay ends up hiring.
