no no no no no no no no no no Way. There is no way in hell or any reason to reboot this franchies. Robert englund is the defintive kruger and they shouldn't even this of re doing this masterpiece.

Its easy with Friday and Halloween to be remade. They are just brainless monsters with masks on! Totally different with Nightmare. Its a comedic monster with funny facial expressions.

just say no Craven!

Not only is Englund the definitive Krueger, the first movie is a horror masterpiece. You'd have to take a very different approach if you attempted to remake these movies, but I agree that it shouldn't even be attempted, at least not yet.

They'll remake it, I mean isn't the remake-recipe already in place: a deep character study of the killer and a look into his abusive-family past, in an attempt to understand why he enjoys terrorizing the kids on Elm Street. It's that easy!

I wasn't a big fan of Craven remaking his own movies, but I thought "Eh, maybe he'll remake Nightmare on Elm Street. It would probably suck, but at least Freddy would be in another movie." I hate this news.
