It's quite possible something could be happening soon with another Nightmare on Elm Street film. First Robert Englund says he's willing to come back as Freddy Krueger for one more film and now we're hearing that Heather Langenkamp would love to return as Nancy Thompson! With the overwhelming success of Halloween at the box office, I wouldn't be surprised to see a lot more famous horror franchises getting the reboot treatment.
Langenkamp recently spoke with Entertainment Weekly about reprising the role.
“I’m sitting here like any other scream queen in Hollywood, hoping that they revive their franchise,” said Langenkamp. “I’m not alone! I know of lots of other horror heroines who have this little bit of spring in their step thinking about the chance of perhaps being in [new versions of] the movies that they helped make famous as young people.”
She adds, “It’s kind of crazy, but it’s definitely something I would love to do."
She made it clear that nothing new is in the works for the franchise.
“I haven’t [heard anything about a new film]. I certainly keep up with friends at New Line Cinema, and so I would expect if Warner Bros. or New Line Cinema — whoever — would put something like that together, I would imagine that I would know," she said. "So, the fact that I don’t know leads me to believe that it’s probably not in the works.”
