One fewer Freddy: Warner Bros.’ ‘A Nightmare on Elm Street’ project is dead, Dread Central reports

Dread Central reports that Warner Bros.’ rival film, which had Lee Cronin in talks to write and direct, is no longer moving forward. Paramount Primal’s project with the Wes Craven estate remains in development, drawing from Craven’s original screenplay. That’s not a mandate to photocopy the 1984 film: the outlet says a shot-for-shot remake isn’t required, and it has no confirmed writer or director to announce.
