In addition to Englund’s project, Lord of the Rings director Peter Jackson also wrote a Nightmare script that never got made, and many fans have been waiting to see the long-awaited Freddy vs. Jason sequel, Freddy vs. Jason vs. Ash, for years.
Of course, Robert Englund’s unsuccessful attempt to make Nightmare on Elm Street: Part 3 is just one of many versions of the Freddy story that never made it to the silver screen.
By his admission, Englund thinks that he’s growing too old to play Freddy much longer, but if that rumored reboot starring Kevin Bacon ever materializes, this unmade attempt at Part 3 seems like an excellent story opportunity.
