Freddy Returns to Springwood, Jason Not Involved

After the smashing success of Rob Zombie's Halloween remake, New Line Cinema jumped right back into developing their remake of Friday the 13th. In the other neck of the woods, over the past few years we've heard all sorts of stories regarding a possible Freddy vs Jason 2 (with Ash, Michael Myers or even Pinhead involved) and the next Nightmare on Elm Street (a prequel), but nothing ever came into fruition. Today Bloody-Disgusting scored some solid info from an insider at New Line about where the future of these franchises stand. Read on to see what's next. Will Jason Voorhees battle Freddy again or will Krueger return to Springwood? All will be revealed inside.

<------You want more Freddy? Digg me now!


This afternoon I got some official news from a source inside at New Line Cinema as to what exactly is going on with our favorite horror icons, Freddy Krueger and Jason Voorhees. Our anonymous source tells us that as of right now, today, this very moment there are NO immediate plans for Freddy vs Jason 2. Bummer. But there is some good news! We've been informed that New Line is actively developing another Nightmare on Elm Street movie. Everything you've heard before has been scrapped (prequel) and they're back at square one. Ideas are being thrown around without anything solid locked down. Expect some news on this later this year and until then we'll focus our attention on their remake of Friday the 13th. What do you guys want to see in the next Nightmare? Comment below and tell us, maybe you'll give New Line some ideas!

I wanna see Alice and Jacob from Nightmare 5 return, teaming with Katherine Krueger. I actually had an idea featuring a Nightmare film with all the survivors returning and watching them die off, that would be interesting.

I am happy as hell to hear this news. I wish they would have another Freddy vs Jason. But I hope down the line it will happen. I'm just glad that we can see another movie on the big screen with Freddy and another with Jason. I hope they calm down Freddy's one liners and make him scarier. I mean come on he's a damn child killer. I hope that they are good movies. But I know deep down I will enjoy the movie. Just too see both of them on the big screen is a big treat for me

I would totally love to see another nightmare movie but please, for the love of horror, kill the comedian shit. freddy's a sadistic dream demon not the fuckin joker. Make it super bloody and violent. Now i've developed a premise for another nigthmare film since after fvj came out and it has developed into quite some shit over time. If only new line would listen to meeeeeeee.

Well, let's face it people, we can pretty much guarantee that this won't feature a continuation of any of the characters from previous films, since they're a distant memory (or not even a memory) for average movie goers... it's been so long, most people forget what the last Nightmare movie was called, let alone what happened and who was in it... I think a fresh start is in order... they're remaking Friday the 13th, why not A Nightmare on Elm Street, and while they're at that, they can continue to make Freddy Vs. Jason movies on the side, in their own little world... that's be neat in my opinion...

as long as they don't recast freddy(sounds stupid for me to even mention that, but with movie studios today...), i'm all for another nightmare they need to use robert englund as much as possible for freddy before he gets TOO old

i agree with everyone on here, that freddy NEEDS to be scary again. reduce him to be more shadowed. and do away with the gimmicky kills. why wear the glove if your not gonna use it? slash a teens face, gouge his fucken eyes out!!!! make it hardcore horror!

I hope it won't be a remake. If it is I will be pissed.

No remake please,a prequel would be cool as would a kick ass sequel ,make Freddy scary again too.

Freddy needs to be scary again and he needs to be played by Robert. I wouldn't mind having the film more violent either. I don't want to see crap loads of CGI and I think it'd be nice to have a talented director who cares for the Nightmare films.

1)A return to the evil Freddy from 1-3,actually the character in part 2 was the best version of Freddy i.m.o even if the rest of the movie was bad. 2)A reboot/reimaging,not a remake i.e Halloween so characters & plot are new except Freddy and movie being set on Elm Street. 3)Don't have 16-18 y.o teens as the target victims,go with a group of Kids aged 8 - 12.More shocking and easier to root for . 4)Don't follow the old & tired NOES formula,have the story and dream sequences impaticular be much more original,complex & inventive-look to the likes of Jacob's Ladder.

As long as Marcus Nispel isn't touching it, I'm happy.

Why the fuck would anyone want a prequel?? They explained everything previous to the first movie in FvJ... so there would be absolutely no point in a prequel

I'd also like to see a solid cast with good character preformances. The original nightmare house would be nice to see again...

I'd like to see more of a back story on freddy, i know we've seen it in freddy's dead, and f vs j, and so on and so on.. but I think it would make the film more realistic if they show freddy when he was the springwood slasher, and then show a bit of the trial and how freddy got off on a technicality, and then show the parents go all vigilanty and burn freddy.. and then get into the whole freddy dream deamon thing! I like how rob zombie did it in halloween.. I just hope this movie gets on the fast track to being made! im excited for friday the 13th aswell too!

I'd rather have two seperate movies than another fvj movie. I can't wait for a new Freddy movie, even though I loved the prequel idea. And I really do think they're gonna drop the comedy act. They did with New Nightmare and it's by far the best. It's what they obvz needs to do.
