Horror movie legend Wes Craven recently admitted that he won’t be seeing the upcoming remake of his classic Nightmare on Elm St, because he thinks that Freddy Krueger should be left alone!
Remakes are the new craze , and while Craven justifies remakes based of the fact that there comes a point when you can’t justify another sequel, admitting that with a remake you’re replaying to a whole new generation, he has no interest in the remake of Nightmare.
The film maker explains to moviehole.com, “That’d be a tough one to re-see… If you move on from the films you’ve made – which I have tried always to move on – then it’s like, ‘That’s in the past. It’s had his life.’ That’s in the past. It’s had his life.’ If they make a better film, maybe it will eclipse the original. I don’t know. If they don’t, then the original will look even better.”
Friday the 13th most recently got the remake treatment, and Nightmare is next on the list with the project rolling forward for what seems to be 2010.
