Warner Bros.’ New Line Cinema has hired veteran screenwriter Wesley Strick to pen the relaunch of the “A Nightmare on Elm Street” series.
The original “Nightmare” was written and directed by Wes Craven and released in 1984. The new project will keep the high school setting and delve deeper in the psychology of nightmares and Freddy Krueger himself.

Everything's getting a deeper and darker story over the originals from the 80's and 90's; likely due to the lack of creativity in new stories and plots that seems to be prevalent in Hollywood (not completely lacking, just significantly) and the advances in technology.
So long as we don't get a dark remake of Killer Klowns From Outer Space or the deep background of Doc Brown and a new Back To The Future trilogy (wait a second, that'd be kinda cool)...I'm all for it.
Sidenote: a friend of mine and I were discussing this trend months ago, and have a call to Hollywood for a dark remake of Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles...think about it.
I'm not opposed to dark remakes, when the source material fits. However, WB wants to do a new version of Superman where Supes is brooding and dark, which does not fit into the terms of the iconic character. Freddy Kreuger fits as a dark character, but one of the things that made him interesting is his quips.
They are doing another live action TMNT. I don't know how dark it will be. Maybe Leo will slice someone's head off with his katana, and say, "Suck it bitch".
This seems like it could be badass. I hope it doesn't fall into the generic, disposable category that all the other horror remakes have.
