According to The Wrap, this new Nightmare will be scripted by David Leslie Johnson, the writer behind 2009's horror hit Orphan

Flame-scarred serial killer Freddy Krueger will once again return to haunt victims in their dreams.

This new film will feature a new, younger actor in the iconic role made famous by Robert Englund and played again in 2010 by Jackie Earle Haley. The recent film was panned by critics and a follow-up never materialized, despite grossing $115 million worldwide .
