Awake And Well

A sequel to the reboot of A Nightmare On Elm Street is already being planned and may be in 3-D no less

"We don't have a story yet, but this is the largest horror opening in the April-May corridor, and it just proves there's a lot left in the franchise," studio distribution president Dan Fellman told The Wrap.

Jackie Earle Haley as Freddy is contracted to come back but director Samuel Bayer might not

“Platinum Dunes is very open to the possibility of a Nightmare sequel,” producer Andrew Form tells Dread Central. “It would be amazing to work with Jackie and the cast again. Unfortunately, as far as we know right now, Sam wouldn't be back to direct the follow-up, but we’d love to come back to Elm Street because Freddy always has a story to tell. We definitely left ourselves open for a sequel so it would be a great privilege to get to do another Nightmare film."

Dread Central also spoke with one of the film's producers, Brad Fuller, who yaked about the 3-D thing

"I think that making the Nightmare sequel in 3-D is a bigger discussion than for right here in this room. We think that 3-D movies have to be designed and written as such. If Eric Heisserer and Wesley Strick came to us with a Nightmare sequel script that is for a 3-D movie, we'd be fools not to make it."

"Using 3-D for a Nightmare sequel has to work conceptually for us, though. I don't want to shoehorn the story just so we can use 3-D technology. I do really think this movie and the visual style would work well within a 3-D environment, though, so you never know," Fuller added.

We know the suits wanted the reboot to be 3-D and Bayer did not His exit could pave the way for Freddy to really come at you next time
