Is A 'Nightmare on Elm Street' Sequel Coming? New Freddy Says Maybe

The 2010 reboot of "Nightmare on Elm Street" hit theaters over the weekend, so now, where does the franchise go from here? Will there be another Freddy movie?
In an interview with MTV, actor Jackie Earle Haley -- who plays Freddy Krueger in the revamped version -- revealed that he was signed on for a "few movies."
"I think we need to see how the movie turns out, how that goes and how that does [before pursuing a sequel]," Haley said.
Well, the film debuted in first place over the weekend, taking in $32.2 million to open. Obviously, fans aren't ready to give up on the iconic horror character, even if the original actor, Robert Englund, has hung up the claws.
There's still no official word from either Warner Bros or New Line, but we're hopeful ... because we want the "Elm Street" franchise to continue.
If they do, other actors said they'd return. MTV asked actress Rooney Mara about her role as Nancy. She said she'd love to play the character again.
However, Kyle Gallner, who plays Nancy's boyfriend Quentin, wasn't 100% on anything just yet.
What did you think of the new "Nightmare on Elm Street?" Does it have a future?
Please stop these stupid remakes and bring something NEW instead!!!

Ya think??? The first francise went for 39 sequles or somethung like that. I expect this second franchise will run approximately 10,387 sequels. Didn't wast any money seeing the first grouping. I won't waste the money on this second grouping. I think every copy of every "Freddie does Dallas" movie should be burned!!!

I liked it. I think the new Freddy looks more creepy then the old one specially the voice is perfect. Also the new special effects we have today compared to the old one is a lot better. I'd give it a thumbs up and I hope there is a sequel.

I am so tired of people complaining that the origanls are better than the remakes.All there`re trying to do is making the movie better, not trying to make it suck. Thats so unfair to the new people.Yes I said it.I`ll say the remakes are better than the original.I think they should make a sequel of this movie because it`s better than the other freddy movies.

I agree, this remake was way better than the original. I watched ANOES (1984) today and I was very disappointed :( This new one is so much more detailed and realistic and serious, and I would LOVE to see it continue.

Robert Englund is too old and tired of his role as Freddy. The classic Freddy hung his glove after Freddy vs Jason.

I've been a huge fan of Robert Englund's Freddy ever since I was a baby. In my opinion, the remake was shit. The guy who played the new Freddy was the only good actor in it. I did like how they actually made him look like a real burn victim in the new one,instead of just making him look like a monster in classic films. And I like the darker side they brought to the new Freddy. The remake wasn't as good as hoped to be. But I believe it still deserves a sequel to redeem the new face of the Freddy films.
