To sleep…perchance to dream?
If the powers-that-be ever get around to filming another installment in the classic A Nightmare on Elm Street series, franchise icon Robert Englund has an idea he’d like to throw out there.
While speaking recently to comicbook.com, the actor said he thinks “they should reboot A Nightmare on Elm Street 3: Dream Warriors because No. 3 has a ‘previously on Nightmare on Elm Street’ sense to it, and it reunites everybody. And it’s a fan-favorite.”
Englund added that he believes that a poll of fans would reveal that “more people like Dream Warriors than any other film. And it’s a good script. If you look at who wrote it, those people have Oscars now.”
And Englund said he would love to have a cameo in that reboot. “I think that would be fun,” he said, “a nice wink to the audience. It’s traditional in a remake to bring somebody back from the original.”
The 1987 Dream Warriors–directed by Chuck Russell from a story by Wes Craven and Bruce Wagner–stars Heather Langenkamp, Patricia Arquette and Larry Fishburne–in addition to Englund as Freddy Krueger. The storyline revolves around a group of young adults who have been committed to a psychiatric hospital where Nancy Thompson (Langenkamp)–whose parents helped kill Krueger–works.
