Is the script Wes Craven is writing on his computer the movie itself?
In Wes Craven's New Nightmare, when Heather meets Wes at New Line, they talk about making a new movie to make Freddy stop.
At the end of this sequence, we can see that Wes is actually writing the script of "New nightmare". The dialog shown on the screen is literally what has just been said: (1:04:50)
This sequence ends with a fade to black, as written on the script.
I'm a bit confused about this part of the movie. At this point, is Wes both inside the movie, and writing the movie?
Best Answer
I think you've pretty much answered your own question. The film is based on the idea of a fictional character crossing over into the real lives of the real actors who acted in the earlier films in the franchise. That Wes is writing the dialogue in a script that exactly matches the dialogue the characters have just said totally fits the crossover world being created in this film.
