Before he made Lord of the Rings, Peter Jackson was set up to write the sixth and final Freddy Krueger movie. Here's how that would have looked.
The Big Picture Freddy’s Dead: The Final Nightmare is the official fifth sequel in the Nightmare on Elm Street franchise, one meant to send the dream reaper off in grand fashion. It didn't. Instead, it followed the pattern of progressively worse sequels and did nothing to bring Freddy Krueger back to the horrific, fear-inducing monster of the first film. It should have been better. And it very nearly was.
What Is Peter Jackson's 'Nightmare on Elm Street' Movie About? The story would begin on a meta-take of Freddy, with the once-formidable dream murderer reduced to a joke, no longer a threat to be taken seriously, much like how the character was being recognized in the real world at the time. Freddy is now so weak and pathetic that the teens on Elm Street take sleeping pills just to go into the dream world and beat up on him just for fun.
There is probably a definitive reason why Jackson's script wasn't selected, but nothing that's been stated publicly. The most likely reason is that New Line really did intend for Part 6 to be a definitive end to the series, putting a bullet to the head of the franchise to mercifully end its tired life. Jackson's script didn't deliver that finality, so New Line opted for Freddy's Dead.
