A Nightmare on Elm Street Reboot: Elijah Wood Wants Robert Englund!
There is no Freddy like Robert Englund according to Elijah Wood. We all learned that the Michael Bay Elm Street was an utter dud, but who’s paying attention? Not Hollywood, because they’re doing another one. Read on for more on A Nightmare on Elm Street Reboot…
CelebnMovies247.com reports that Elijah Wood has been making the rounds to promote his new movie, Come to Daddy.
During a recent interview, Elijah Wood proposed A Nightmare on Elm Street reboot.
Although, nothing is set in stone at this time Wood expressed that the way to go would be to have Robert Englund back and then expand the franchise beyond that in the future.
Elijah had this to say about a reboot:
You have to bring Robert Englund back for one more film. I think, especially if you’re going to open up a new franchise and take it in different directions, you have to establish it with him and then you can move on. I don’t think it’s interesting to tell the same story over and over again, we don’t need another origin story of Freddy Krueger, I don’t think it should even really be so much about Freddy.
Robert Englund first played Freddy Krueger in Wes Craven’s original A Nightmare on Elm Street back in the 90s. Jackie Earle Haley took on the role in the 2010 reboot, but the film was a waste.
Robert Englund said he might have one more Freddy movie in him. Based on what Elijah Wood is pitching, that would be enough. For what it’s worth, Robert Englund did reprise the role in an episode of The Goldbergs last year.
