Horror movies are back on the rise, and the screenwriter of "Aquaman" is obsessed with "A Nightmare on Elm Street"

Michael Myers is back, so how far can Freddy be? "Aquaman" has achieved huge success around the world, and screenwriter David Leslie Johnson also deserves credit for this. When facing media interviews, he also had the confidence to mention the reboot of the "A Nightmare on Elm Street" series again.

As early as 2015, David Leslie Johnson was revealed to be involved in the new version of "A Nightmare on Elm Street", but four years later, the film has not made any progress. Recently, he said that he is still working hard to promote the project. "There has been no breakthrough progress yet. The Conjuring Universe is, to some extent, the first choice of horror movies for New Line Cinema. But I think everyone wants to see Freddy return again. I think to some extent, this is inevitable."

In 1984, Wes Craven, a horror film master, released the classic horror film "A Nightmare on Elm Street". The film earned $25.5 million at the box office that year and became an unforgettable nightmare for a generation of viewers. In the following ten years, the series launched a total of six sequels. The quality of the sequels was naturally not guaranteed, and the reputation of the series was mixed. In 2010, Samuel Bell and Rooney Mara starred in the rebooted version of "A Nightmare on Elm Street", which still did not succeed. Since then, Freddy has disappeared from the world.

Horror movies have made a comeback in recent years, and many low-cost, high-quality horror films have reaped huge rewards. In addition to the already successful "IT" and "Halloween", will there be more classic horror characters returning to the screen in the future? New Line Cinema has already tasted the sweetness of the horror film universe, so will these classic screen characters have a chance to join forces and become the nightmare of a new generation of audiences? We will have to wait and see.
