Paramount has closed a deal for the U.S. rights to adapt the original screenplay for “A Nightmare on Elm Street,” under its new genre label Paramount Primal. Domestic rights are being licensed from the Wes Craven estate, which includes Craven’s widow Iya Labunka and son Jonathan Craven. The duo will produce the film with Marc Toberoff, an attorney who helped the filmmaker’s family regain ownership of the kickoff film.
