Friday the 13th & A Nightmare on Elm Street Sequels? Not Bloody Likely...
Twitter was the place to be this weekend. In addition to Wes Craven confirming that Scream 4 reshoots were indeed happening, Platinum Dunes Producer Brad Fuller took to his Twitter feed with some sequel updates. Fuller wanted to squash some recent rumors and update fans on the status of several sequels to Platinum Dunes reboots including Friday the 13th and A Nightmare on Elm Street. Not surprisingly, it doesn't look good. He throws in a quick Monster Squad reboot update for good measure. Full details below.
From Brad Fuller's Twitter Feed:

He then adds:
Rated R Horror movies, right now, don't seem to generate interest from the studios.
