Elijah Wood wants to remake A Nightmare on Elm Street & Children of the Corn

I had no clue about this however Elijah Wooden, finest identified for portraying Frodo Baggins in The Lord of The Rings trilogy, is a large horror film fan. The actor had produced and starred in lots of darkish and scary films with SpectreVision and he is presently ready for his new movie No Man of God to make its premiere on the Tribeca Movie Competition. Promotion for this explicit mission is what sparked a dialog about his want to carry Freddy Krueger again into our nightmares with one other reboot of A Nightmare on Elm Street and he additionally expressed a want to tackle Stephen King’s Children of The Corn.

Wooden spoke with “ComicBook.com” and he had this to say about his push to remake both of these movies:

“We personally have talked quite a bit about, internally, Elm Road and the way unbelievable it could be to play in that universe once more and see that universe, to see Freddy [Krueger] and simply that idea be explored once more. That is one thing that we’re fascinated in. Clearly, that isn’t a lesser-known, smaller factor that ought to be remade into an enormous one. However one other one which I really feel is thrilling, I do know that there is already a remake popping out, however we nonetheless actually love Kids of the Corn. I really feel like that will be an thrilling factor to … from the bottom up, taking it from the novel, not remaking the film, however truly take the quick story and flesh that out in an attention-grabbing means.”

A Nightmare on Elm Street already got a poorly received remake back in 2010 and I believe that no matter thought Wooden has for one more reboot must be higher than that closing product. The A Nightmare on Elm Road legacy started with Wes Craven’s basic again in 1984 and that went on to spawn seven official sequels, a TV collection, and the aforementioned reboot. Stephen King’s Kids of The Corn, initially a brief story in his “Evening Shift” assortment, has been the premise for 11 films in all, with most of them getting mediocre opinions.

Wooden additionally went on to debate his love for extra obscure horror movies and he needs that different folks have been as captivated with them as he’s. The actor went on to say “Considered one of my favourite films, and never one thing I essentially wish to remake, however one in every of my favourite films that was direct to VHS through the nice direct to VHS horror explosion of the Eighties, there is a film known as ‘Reality or Dare?: A Vital Insanity‘ by Tim Ritter. I believe it stands out in my thoughts as a result of I noticed it after I was six and it simply left an impression on me. However, I genuinely like it. And I’ve launched it to so many individuals and it has its followers. It isn’t that obscure, however I do not know that I might wish to remake it. Once I take into consideration these lesser-known films, that one all the time actually stands out as a particular little gem.”

Wooden’s love for the horror style is fairly nice to see and perhaps he might be the man that offers us a recent tackle A Nightmare on Elm Road or Kids of the Corn. Like I mentioned, odds are that it is prone to be higher than among the offshoots we have already obtained.
