I don’t care what anyone says about Samuel Bayer’s A Nightmare On Elm Street reboot; it was eerie on many fronts, memorable, and honestly, in my opinion it’s one of the better remakes to hit the market in years. Critics may not side with me here, but to each his own I suppose.
Now, following the announcement of a Nightmare sequel, Bayer may have his hands full with another project first, that being an adaptation of the graphic novel/Kindle comic Tumor (by Joshua Hale Fialkov and Noel Tuazon).
Variety reports that Bayer is attached to direct the film which is being put together by the company Red Crown, which, according to the trade “fill the niche for high-end specialty films.”
Below is the official film rundown, and a trailer for the comic:
When Frank Armstrong, an elderly failed PI, is hired to find a drug boss’s daughter, he sees a chance to redeem himself for failing to prevent his own wife’s murder decades ago. Unfortunately, Frank’s inoperable brain tumor means that his senses betray him so that he doesn’t always know what year he’s living in or whether he’s walking down the gritty L.A. streets or lying flat on his back in a hospital bed. He’s obviously dying; the question is whether he can pull himself together long enough to win moral salvation.
