A Nightmare on Elm Street second remake

[Karnak 187]

, I'm not opposed to reboots as long as they are done well and bring something new to the franchise. NMOES can be remade right, we have IT and The New Mutants that prove that. Instead of remaking the 84 film remake its vastly superior sequel, Dream Warriors, make the main characters kids rather then teens, and get Kevin Bacon to play Freddy. 

Robert Englund is all for a remake, as long as its good!

Super Mario 64 DS is proof that remakes can be just as good as, if not better than, their originals.

 

Just remember this when making them:

I'm mostly opposed to reboots unless the original was terrible or they're going to follow the book more closely. Second remake within a few years, Hollywood is really scraping the bottom of the barrel.

Given the right budget and director, and team, Nightmare on Elm street could come back better then ever. $35 to 40 million would allow crazy effects and visual terrors and nightmares! Don't treat it as a horror film, treat it as a dark fantasy.

Makes children the main characters not useless, pathetic, unlikeable, teens. Kids in danger is far more effective and scary them stupid teens. 

Poltergeist, Stranger Things and IT proves this. Teens arnt vulnerable, kids are. And you want to HATE Freddy not enjoy his kills.

Stay away from slashers and for inspiration of the remake use 

Dream Warriors

IT

Poltergeist

Pan's Labyrinth 

The book Alice in Wonderland 

 

And maybe hire Frank Darabount as director and get Kevin Bacon as Freddy. Use a combo of practical and digital effects. Companies like ADI make great effects.

 

And you can make a film that owns the 84 movie.
