It was just the other day that Heather Langenkamp, one of our beloved genre's best scream queens that she would love to get the chance to bring Nancy from writer-director Wes Craven's 1984 slasher classic A NIGHTMARE ON ELM STREET with Robert Englund as Freddy Krueger to life once again. And today we have word that Langenkamp would love to play a role in James Wan's THE CONJURING UNIVERSE.
Langenkamp says:
I think some of the New Line films that they're putting out, like the Annabelle and all the universes from the Conjuring universes, I do really like a lot of those movies, and I think they all have some really great characters, and they use a lot of character actors from the genre I think those movies are the ones that appeal to me most. I'm not really into slasher movies. I really don't love watching the body count racking itself up. Of course, I mean, there's a lot of great parts in all of those movies.
I think I would just look for a really great part, one that the fans would watch it and go, 'Oh, that's different. Or, 'That's cool, that's new.' That had some meat to it that was an interesting role. And that's my goal going forward is to find those roles out there and make my fans happy, because they're like, 'Where are you? Why aren't you doing anything, Heather?' I'm like, 'I don't know, I'm trying.'
She added:
The older I get, the more confident I get that they need old ladies out there in film.
Please, Hollywood, make this happen! One of the last roles Heather Langenkamp played was in Gary J. Tunnicliffe's HELLRAISER: JUDGMENT. While that flick wasn't out and out terrible, I think we need to bring her back into our beloved genre for another quality motion picture ASAP.
