7 Awful Ideas for the Second ‘Nightmare On Elm Street’ Reboot
I had so much fun coming up with ideas for the coming re-reboot of 'A Nightmare On Elm Street' that I decided to come up with some even worse options for the franchise than a second -- and still unnecessary -- reboot.
Kevin Bacon recently expressed interest in playing Freddy in a Nightmare reboot, which caused me to revisit this article we published backed when reboot take 2 was breaking news. While crispy Bacon actually doesn't sound all that bad, I still don't know if I can get on board with another reboot.
They really just need to make another sequel to the original franchise. The series was doing fine, Robert Englund can still play Freddy... why screw up a good thing? And if you're going to screw it up, why not really screw it up really, really bad? Using our best Hollywood studio exec logic, we realized that 'Freddy Vs. Jason' was a huge success, so another crossover with an existing franchise has to work... right? You can see what we came up with above.
