A Nightmare on Elm Street 3: Dream Warriors director Chuck Russell thinks Jim Carrey could take on the role of ghostly child killer Freddy Krueger – but only if there was a "bold new direction" for the horror franchise.
"Jim, in my opinion, could almost do anything if he put his heart into it," Russell told Dread Central. "For Jim to do it, we’d have to do something that was another leap in the Elm Street series – a little bit like what Wes did with his very meta New Nightmare. I think Jim would only consider it, and I’d only consider harnessing Jim, if there was a bold new direction for Elm Street."
