Official licensing for the Freddy Krueger -
#Fortnite Collab Details
Epic licensed the original A NIGHTMARE ON ELM STREET (1984) and A NIGHTMARE ON ELM STREET 2: FREDDY'S REVENGE (1985) through BOTH New Line Cinema (Warner Bros owned) and Wes Craven's Estate
Why License ANoES 2 Sequel?
-Sweater Stripes on Sleeves (Likely biggest reason)
-Burn Pattern Effects
-Glove tweaks
New Line & Craven Estate
-© & TM New Line Productions, Inc. = New Line/WB
-© 1984, Wes Craven = Craven Estate
-New Line allows Fortnite to distribute these items Internationally
-Craven Estate allows Fortnite to distribute these items in the US
-New Line ownership is in terms of Copyright to the character Freddy Krueger
-Craven Estate ownership is by the way of 'Derivative Works' when the story rights reverted back to Wes Craven, much like the Victor Miller - Friday the 13th situation
Future Licensing
-This shows a great outline for any future Interactive Licensing of this iteration of Freddy Krueger. We now can SEE that you MUST work through both New Line/WB AND Craven Estate and that two films must be licensed to give everyone the full top to bottom Freddy everyone wants
