Mike Flanagan has let it’s identified that he has an concept for a brand new film in thoughts, however his agent can’t determine who to have him pitch it to. Elijah Wooden and his SpectreVision producing companion Daniel Noah have stated they need to make an Elm Road film and have “been in contact with the rights holders many occasions,” however that hasn’t gone anyplace. Blumhouse founder Jason Blum has stated he’s excited by going to Elm Road. However there’s no signal of a brand new Nightmare on Elm Road film going ahead. The Elm Road franchise appears to be trapped in limbo.
When Brener was requested if there’s one other A Nightmare on Elm Road on the horizon, he answered, “We hope so. It’s sophisticated due to the rights.“
