The Hollywood Reporter has Wesley Strick signed on to write the update to the Freddy Kruger franchise.
The new project will keep the high school setting and delve deeper in the psychology of nightmares and Krueger himself. The plan is to have a dark tone. The company hopes to have the movie ready for the 25th anniversary of the original.
Strick has previously penned Arachnophobia and Cape Fear.
Stephen Schleicher began his career writing for the Digital Media Online community of sites, including Digital Producer and Creative Mac covering all aspects of the digital content creation industry. He then moved on to consumer technology, and began the Coolness Roundup podcast. A writing fool, Stephen has freelanced for Sci-Fi Channel's Technology Blog, and Gizmodo. Still longing for the good ol' days, Stephen launched Major Spoilers in July 2006, because he is a glutton for punishment.

Englund involved? No one else can play Freddie…srsly.
this is gonna suck, i think they should stop while they are ahead. freddy vs. jason just came out a few years ago, let him die with that horrible,horrible movie…
How hard is it to write these things? Kids fall asleep, Freddy attacks. One or two survive after apparently defeating Freddy.
You just need the Family Guy Sea-Critter Idea Tank for new kids with new hobbies, and that’s that.
