Paramount Pictures has acquired the rights to adapt the original "A Nightmare on Elm Street" screenplay by director Wes Craven and plans to release a new feature film, Hollywood Reporter reports.

Work on the new version of the cult horror film is being carried out by Paramount Primal's genre division, led by producers J.D. Lifshitz and Raphael Margules.

U.S. distribution rights were acquired from Craven's heirs — his widow Iya Labunka and son Jonathan, who will serve as producers alongside Mark Toberoff.

The original film "A Nightmare on Elm Street" tells the story of Freddy Krueger — a maniac who kills teenagers in their dreams. Moreover, if a person dies in a dream, they also die in real life.

The main character of the film, Nancy, learns that her parents, as well as the parents of other children from the town, once burned Freddy alive for the murders of children. Now his spirit is taking revenge on them through their children.

To save herself, Nancy learns to use the power of dreams in the real world and defeats the monster. However, in the finale, it turns out that Krueger remained alive, and the nightmare continues.

Freddy was played by Robert Englund, Nancy by Heather Langenkamp, and Johnny Depp even appeared in the film.
