 What is going on guys welcome back to the channel critical overload here since I'm on nightmare in Elm Street here in this video AKA also the franchise that the that is home to the horror icon of Freddy Krueger So some new development came out earlier this week or late last week regarding the Potential trajectory of where we can start to look as it pertains to nightmare in Elm Street as A movie coming or something else, but I want to start from the very bottom of what we've been getting since late 2019 Before I get to the newest update so that way What I'm talking about can kind of have a more cohesive continuity to it so in September 2019 bloody disgusting first reported that the rights to a nightmare in Elm Street and Freddy Krueger as it pertains to the original film That West Craven wrote and directed those rights have reverted back to West Craven's estate and then three months later in Like November or so of that same year or like two months later I guess at that point bloody disgusting also exclusively reported that the Craven estate had begun working on Resurrecting Freddy as they are actively taking pitches for a new nightmare in Elm Street film or for a new nightmare in Elm Street I'll just say not a film or anything. It wasn't specified. They're just taking pitches for a new nightmare in Elm Street And they stated that while we don't know exactly what the estate's plans are or if they have any distribution Financial deals in place. We have heard that they are looking for both feature film pitches and also concepts for a possible HBO HBO Max series so the thing about this is There's already a deal in place that we know Exists for Warner Brothers and New Line Cinema Handling any international stuff But that doesn't mean that the Craven estate has to I guess necessarily do the domestic distribution through Warner Brothers Because the last one from 2010 was distributed through them with New Line Cinema attached as the production company because those two companies merged around like 2008 I believe but the recent report that came out today is that Warner Brothers is said to be negotiating Being able to retain the domestic rights to a nightmare in Elm Street as well as many other IPs So does this indicate that the Craven estate? Isn't actively trying to do a movie with them as a domestic distributor or Is this a part of whatever negotiations are still going on as it pertains to New Line Cinema Warner Brothers and the Craven estate Talking about letting Warner Brothers Distribute the new movie because the Craven estate could just not want to do a Movie with them attached to it domestically for whatever reason And as far as just like what this means it doesn't mean that off the bat You have a new movie necessarily coming It doesn't mean that we're that much closer to a new movie either, but it's I'm Indicating or taking the assumption that they don't want to do a movie with Warner Brothers for whatever reason domestically because all the stuff in the inner workings of copyright laws and you know infringement and IP owners all that stuff all the ins and outs of that I don't have a clear grasp on it as a whole but I know that bloody discussing had been breaking a lot of reports Going as far back as late 2019 that explained that the Craven estate was already taking pitches for a feature film potentially or Something that would be a series going to HBO Max. So For whatever reason if they were to do a feature film They they could still always accept the pitch and then try to sell it to a different distributor but Maybe this does mean we're closer to a new movie or something else actually happening But we still don't have a clear concrete answer as to what is going on with this IP It's just like the latest interest in development since 2019 after learning that the Craven estate gained the rights back After so many years had passed in it It was able to go back to the original creator who at the time of course would be what's craving and his estate So with that in mind if they were to do another movie what they take on the Requel idea would they just do a direct sequel to the original film and said it many years later? Of course, they probably recast the character of Freddy Krueger Robert England could still come back in some fashion I don't know how they can make it work other than of course using a lot of technology that we have available to make that possible To make it work, but they could always recast the role I know I've seen people talk about Richard break being in the role Kevin Bacon being in the role and as far as just what the narrative would be I know Elijah would has come out and stated that they would love that he would love to explore this franchise at one point And I'll leave a link to all three of these articles in the chronological order so that you can see the cohesiveness What seems to be the most interesting? Development about Freddy Krueger and nightmare in Elm Street going as far back as September 2019 when we learned that the Craven estate Had gained the rights to the character and that film now. They've been actively taking pitches I think that they still are actively just trying to decide, you know What would be the best direction to take with this franchise because there's so much to consider the fact that Robert England You could potentially bring him back, but would he want to reprise the character? What do you do at this point considering that the last I? Guess canon film to the original IP timeline Was Freddy versus Jason and that was all the way back in 2003. Do you do anything relation to that? Do you just ignore that do that? Are they even capable of doing anything that's not a sequel directly to the original movie since that's the one that West Craven directed and wrote or will they just have to work with you know doing a sequel to that movie meaning a requel I guess at this point or Coming up with a completely different iteration of that same movie But but I guess just another modern remake I feel like a lot of people would prefer to have a requel that brings back the character of Nancy With Heather Lincoln camp back in the role somehow and if you have to recast Freddy I mean that's I guess that's fine, but I think a lot of people would also want to maybe see a sequel to the two little 84 film explore that's maybe set still in the 80s of It's set in the past you bring in a new cast and just have a different actor playing Freddy and see how that works Friday the 13th and nightmare now I'm straight I know these I these franchises haven't been really producing a lot of content for us lately and a lot of us are starving for it I mostly want to see more Freddy over Jason any day But let me know what you guys think about this development about Warner Brothers trying to retain Domestic rights to the to the distribution of this franchise in the comment section below if you haven't of course make sure you subscribe Turn on post a vision image video in the description links my social media accounts on Facebook Twitter and Instagram You can message me there of course limiters any movies news or reviews you like me to cover in the future with all that in My guys, I will see you in the next video
