 What is going on guys welcome back to the channel critical overlord here, so it looks like we may have Something to talk about in regards to Nightmare and Elm Street or at least it would appear So from something new line cinema who we know distributed almost every single one of the Nightmare and Elm Street films We know what's Craven helm the original he wrote the screenplay for the original Rest in peace West Craven. He's brought us so many iconic figures in the horror community and Freddy Cougar is one of the main Ones he's part of the big three for the horror genre So as you see here in this tweet it says seven eight gonna stay up late nine ten never sleep again coming from new line Cinema's official Twitter account and then prior to that they were tweeting out all the other things that came before that You know one two Freddy's coming for you three four better lock your door five six so on and so forth Many people started speculating that this means that there is movement going on with the franchise now There is movement going on with the franchise. I'm gonna get into that in a later portion of the video. However New line cinema quickly cleared up that Not quickly I'll say they they made it clear that they're not doing anything other than just teasing and Making poking fun and getting people excited for the holiday season since October is Horror month the horror month of Halloween Halloween isn't an actual holiday, but you you get my point so There's nothing to see there. It doesn't look like they are trying to tease us with anything Now what I do want to say is that of course that could be their way of flaming the fire because you can easily Come out and say you're not doing that when in fact you are doing that You just wanted to be an even bigger surprise down the line when you announced what's happening So maybe they're trying to keep the keep the fire down a bit just to keep people at ease Until they make that official announcement to shock everyone Again Freddy Cougar is a very iconic character We know he was brought to life by Robert England who does a phenomenal job portraying the character Not only in the original classic but in the second second film the third film, which is argued arguably the best sequel Nightmare Nelms Street the dream warriors He portrays Freddy again in Nightmare Nelms Street 4 the dream master the dream warriors Not the dream warriors the dream child and the dream master Which was part 4 and 5 and then we have the abysmal Freddy's dead the final nightmare, which was part 6 and that's honestly one of the worst films I've ever seen in my life one of the worst horror films. I've ever seen and It's just a shame how this character. He's so iconic, but the films themselves It just goes to show you how far acting can get you because Robert England no matter what the material was good or bad And a lot of the later sequels they were just crap He made this character his own he is forever going to be noted notice Notified and recognized for his portrayal of Freddy Cougar because Regardless of part 4 5 and 6 being a downward spiral Robert England still brought his a game. He has made a iconic character in the horror community and Fans of the genre have been desperate to see this character brought to life again And it's just sad that nothing has come to fruition with with this character, but Getting back to what I wanted to say as I mentioned earlier We do know that there's at least some type of movement With this character with this franchise because we know what's craving unfortunately passed away in 2015 but his estate the estate of West Craven They did gain the rights back or they gained the rights for the nightmare in Elm Street film and the character of Freddy Cougar Bloody disgusting did report something. I think late last year sometime They stated that they can exclusively report that Craven's estate has begun work on resurrecting Freddy as they are actively taking Pitches for a new nightmare in Elm Street While we don't know exactly what the estate's plans are or if they have any distributor financial deals in place We have heard they're looking for both feature film pitches and also concepts for a possible HBO Max series Again, we do not know the extent of their plans and it's also entirely possible. They don't know what they want either so Just looking at this for a quick second at HBO Max series I could see that working if we are talking about exploring Freddy Cougar Before he became Freddy Cougar because as we know the franchise itself the original film revolves around a group of friends Nancy Thompson and her friends who are terrorized by a dream demon who has a connection to Their parents because their parents will come to find it that he this dream demon in in life He was a child killer and the town or in the in the parents of Elm Street Group together came together as a group to take him out after An issue occurred with his court hearing and he was set free due to a technicality issue So we know that we know that the franchise itself or that original film revolved around that and it branched out Into these later sequels as well just expanded on that in the mythos of Freddy Cougar We know Nancy Thompson is now recognized as one of them one of the best final girls to ever exist alongside with Sydney Prescott Lori Strowed, you know all of those iconic horror final girls that we all are very familiar with So an HBO Max series I would like to see if that was what they were going to go with because they're they're accepting pitches if they Were going to go with an HBO Max series. I could I would like to see just a series Going into what he was like prior to becoming this dream demon Because we know we get clarity on how he exactly did that how that happened we find that out in part six and it's just Just like oh like it's part six is just so so asinine I I can barely bear myself to watch it at times It's just so bad and we haven't seen Robert England even portray this character Since Freddy vs. Jason in 2003 and when I say we haven't seen a portrayal clarify because I know I'll get people in the comment section We haven't seen him portray this character in a feature film for the nightmare in Elm Street franchise Since Freddy vs. Jason He's made appearances in the makeup recently over the past couple of years for other things But they had nothing to do with being a feature film or any type of TV series related to the original continuity So if they do a HBO Max series would love to see something detailing what Freddy's life was like prior to him becoming this demon Would love to see more things from his childhood perhaps because that's one thing about Nightmare Nel Street 6 That was somewhat interesting because at least you're diving into What makes Freddy Krueger Freddy Krueger in ways not really giving us too many concreants But we get a better understanding that he had a horrible upbringing of course since he was in a lot of abusive homes In and out of foster care it seemed So going from that route jumping into pitches for films What would we even be able to do at this point because I don't see Robert England England himself has stated he doesn't see himself portraying this character again because he's too old But a lot of people have speculated about this gentleman Kevin Bacon Kevin Bacon portraying Freddy Krueger that was something I was not up for but at this point after seeing so much of Kevin Bacon and reconsidering and knowing that Kevin Bacon is a talented actor I'd like to see what he could do with this character I something about him now just seems to me to scream Freddy Krueger And it might have to do with the fact that so many people have hyped it up So he's actually come out and stated that he would love to portray that character So I'd be up for that and I know a lot of fans of this franchise and fans of the horror genre and just die hard to want to see Kevin Bacon, that's like fanfiction come to life If they actually managed to get Kevin Bacon in this makeup and he gives us a phenomenal performance That's an homage to what Robert England brought us and then giving his own new spin on it That's just gonna be fanfiction brought to life for the best best possible way imaginable It's also giving us a good script to go along with it too. That'll just be perfect But I don't see where else you would go with a film because I don't think I Don't I don't I don't see where you would go because the last time we actually saw Freddy Krueger in the original continuity was him being dragged out of the water With Jason holding his head at the end of Freddy versus Jason. So where would you go from there? I'm thinking you would ignore Freddy versus Jason and then set this immediately after Freddy's dead Or what I'd probably do is I'd ignore Because we're gonna talk about red cons. That's just a new thing. Let's just talk about red cons I would ignore Friday the 13th. They're not Friday 13 I'd ignore nightmare in them streets part 4 5 and 6 and Freddy versus Jason and of course West Craven's new nightmare, even though that is even you don't even need to ignore that because it exists on its own Completely different film. I'd ignore those movies and just have a direct sequel to dream warriors try to do a sequel to dream warriors of some sort and go from there and Who would I like to see helm and direct? Or direct and write the film. I'd like to see a combination of Lee Wanel and James Wan working on a nightmare now Street movie. I think they would do an amazing job with it But those are just my thoughts I just wanted to come out and clarify a few things about what was going on on Twitter And just share my thoughts on what I would like to see for the future of this franchise if they go with another film or TV series But let me know what you guys think about all this down the comment section below If you haven't already make sure you subscribe turn on post notifications that never miss a video in the description I have links on my site on my Facebook all my social media accounts on Facebook Twitter and Instagram You can message me there to let me know if there's any movies news or reviews You'd like me to cover in the future with all that in mind guys.
