The trio will create a new franchise based on A Nightmare on Elm Street, the 1984 Wes Craven film. Originally played by Robert Englund, Krueger haunted nine films and two TV series.
The deal comes as Bay, Fuller and Form ready for an April start for Friday the 13th, a New Line re-launch of another iconic baddie, Jason Voorhees. Marcus Nispel will direct a script by Damian Shannon and Mark Swift (Freddy vs. Jason).
Both franchises will be given a complete overhaul, something that Platinum Dunes provided in the Nispel-directed The Texas Chainsaw Massacre. New Line won't hire a writer on "Nightmare" until the writers strike ends.

The Springwood Slasher himself will only be accepted. No substitutions.

But this would be very interesting if they could do it and have it actually appeal to the fans.
It will be interesting to get more details.
I suppose Max/Franziska and Ron/Dessie. You should too.
Apparently, my avatar was made by Limey. Hooray!

Robert Englund's term as Freddy Krueger may have come to end.
Platinum Dunes and New Line rocked the horror world last week when the production entities announced they were working together to overhaul the "Nightmare on Elm Street" brand (full story here). A number of industry sources recently phoned in to shed some light on the early discussions going on behind-the-scenes regarding "Nightmare"...and none of them include Englund starring as Krueger.
The franchise facelift includes discovering a new actor to polish up the finger knives and play the iconographic dream role Englund has practically made his second skin since '84.
Disheartening news for the fans, maybe, but rumor has it Michael Bay's Platinum Dunes is taking "Nightmare" back to square one...as in fresh start, hitting the reset button, making it their own (think "Texas Chainsaw Massacre" '03 and Friday the 13th '09). Because of this decision, they'd like to find another actor to carry the new Krueger into future films.
Again, early talks. Script-wise, nothing can be sealed up until the WGA strike meets an end...and it sounds like that may be sooner than later.

This might all change depending on if the Friday the 13th remake rocks or blows.

FORGET IT!
Robert Englund is the only person that can pull of Freddy!
This movie is going to blow just like the Halloween re-make. :|

Our writer Tyler Shainline just got off the phone with Robert Englund and when asked if it was true that he did not want to return for the upcoming remake he replied: “The decision isn’t mine, They haven’t talked to me so I figure that they are going with a whole different interpretation and a different cast. If I was approached it would be a challenge but sure, yeah. But it sounds to me that they want to reinterpret it.”
It is not Englund that doesn’t want to be in the film, but the people behind it. Another reason to hate the idea of a Nightmare remake. Since the role of Krueger relies heavily on make-up effects there should be no reason for the studio not to want him back, as age should not play a role. Also Freddy unlike other slasher icons Jason Voorhees and Michael Myers actually talks, so hearing him with a new voice may actually take a little getting use to. They should just really make fans happy and have Englund return to the role he made famous.

No surprise there, since it's a reboot. Here's hoping they change their minds and ask Robert.
Gotta love the iconic hand gesture:
