So what are their plans? LatinoReview got a look at the script and they reveal some very cool points: He's a gardener not a janitor (which far better explains his bladed-gloves) and the film will will ditch the puns and bad jokes he makes in favor of a Freddy who barely speaks. Additionally, while they'll be keeping Freddy's look, the film will delve more into his backstory through a combination of flashbacks and nightmare sequences.



But the most interesting point is whether or not Freddy is a child molester. That's what Craven had originally intended for the character before it was changed to a child murderer in the original release but the mystery of the reboot revolves around whether Freddy really did it or if the kids he intends to murder (they're now 18) lied and he's out for revenge. That's the aspect that gets me the most excited because while our alliegances in these films usually lie with the monster, it will be interesting to have a central mystery in the story to try and decipher who's responsible for a crime that most would agree is even worse than murder, provided that crime has even occured.
