Jon Squires for Blood Discussing writes, "Warner Brothers reportedly developing international Nightmare on Elm Street movie with Lee Cronin.

Uh, last November, Robert Englund had shared his thoughts on why there hasn't been any movement on the Nightmare on Elm Street franchise in the past 16 years.

Englund told IndieWire at the time, 'There are so many people involved who have a piece of the action.' 'When Wes passed away, he left an awful lot of rights to his estate,' Englund explained.

'He has many, many rights that he worked out between character titles and names and plots and things like that.

New Line Cinema obviously has a big hand in it, and much of that was s- surrendered to Ted Turner, then went to Warner Brothers, so Warner Brothers has a huge piece of it.' We bring this up because Englund was spot on, and things have only gotten more interesting since he made those comments last year.

We had recently learned that Paramount has joined forces with the Craven Estate to make a new Nightmare on Elm Street movie based on Wes Craven's original screenplay for the original movie.

But here's where things get really interesting." I'm gonna have a quick swig.

I've got such a dry mouth.

[sighs] Swiggle beer for the working man Bit of a Stone Cold reference there.

I don't-- I think it's SummerSlam this weekend.

I'm so out of the loop with, uh, with wrestling.

Like, WWE just seems incredibly sanitized right now, and, uh, I'm trying to get back into AEW.

Find it difficult watching it on a delay because I'm always on YouTube.

YouTube always has highlights and spoilers.

It doesn't get shown in the UK for a f- a couple of days afterwards.

It's not a big deal, but I used to watch it on Triller.

I don't think Triller exists anymore.

If it does, I don't know.

Anyway, let's get back to the news.

I'm getting distracted.

While the Craven Estate has the domestic rights to Craven's original Elm Street screenplay, Warner Brothers' New Line actually retains the international rights to a new, a, A Nightmare on Elm Street.

And Puck News reports this week that Warner Brothers is actively developing their own Nightmare on Elm Street movie to compete with the announced Paramount project.

Of course, what's particularly interesting about this whole mess is that Paramount is actively attempting to buy Warner Brothers, a sale which has been delayed until at least next year.

Puck reports, "Sources with knowledge of the matter think Paramount figured out that by the time their movie got underway, the Warner-Mount deal would have closed, and Warners would be compelled to release the Paramount version overseas." But Warners' Michael De Luca and Pam Abdy didn't care for that plan.

Now they're looking to make their own movie, which they can only distribute overseas, and are in talks with Lee Cronin to produce, write, and direct.
