CCCD: Before He was Dead...
“Well, [New Line and I] talked about it, and I’m still waiting to hear back from them,” he says. “They approached me because of Henry [Portrait : Of a Serial Killer], since they want to make a serious film about Freddy Krueger and his early days as a school janitor. Freddy’s just a living person at that point, and this would seem more like a real story. It wouldn’t be supernatural, and it will recount the days when he used to kidnap young girls—and actually also boys—to rape and murder them.”
Whole Story
If they are going to beat a movie franchise to death they might else well go back in time. This could work, if done right, duh. I see a gritty, real life approach; Freddy can't be cracking jokes, he needs to be evil and molesting.
