'...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.'

"It's not Freddy cracking jokes," Fuller told Shock. "We want to make a horrifying movie. The concept is so scary, don't fall asleep or you'll die. This guy gets you when you're most vulnerable, in your sleep. We love that. That's the basis of the movie. It'll be most similar to the first one but in terms of kills and dreams we'll borrow from the entire series."

I'm a HUGE NoES fan and I must say I am quite excited for this. There was even word that they're going to film in the Chicago suburbs, so hopefully I could partake in watching.

As for recasting Freddy? It'll be tough to see the new actor as Freddy knowing Robert's not under there but I also said the same thing about the Joker over a year ago.

"Freddy is an iconic character like Jason, and when we've made these movies we haven't deviated from the way [the characters] look," Form said. "Jason and Leatherface look the same and I'm sure with Freddy it'll hold true. I do think we can safely say that in Texas Chainsaw the chainsaw was the weapon, in Friday the machete is the weapon for Jason, and in Nightmare there is no changing the glove."

"There will be the sweater," added Fuller. "We're not going to have him coming out in an Izod."

The film, which is still looking for a director is supposed to start shooting in the Chicago suburbs this spring, so hopefully these basic - but critical - story details are on the verge of being worked out. I'm curious to see how Platinum Dunes solves that last pric(k)ly problem. Might we actually have an unquestionably kiddie fiddling Freddy in this new version?

"We need to find a visual director who can blow people away," said Fuller. Form added: "And seamless transitions are the key, where the audience truly has no idea if it's a dream or not until it's too late you realize you've been duped for the last 30, 40, 90 seconds and the person's been dreaming the whole time."
