    Freddy remade???

    http://www.dreadcentral.com/node/25976

    if Robert Englund is Freddy I'll still end up seeing it. Otherwise NO.

    this'll more than likely be a "lost chapter" like what the new Friday is allegedly going to be. if its a remake, I don't really care if Englund is cast, because he probably won't.

    I'm sure it's because he's the only person who's played him, but I just couldn't see Freddy being played by anyone by Englund. Don't get me wrong, I think it'd be interesting, but I'd hate that he wouldn't be in it.

    well, eventually some one else will don the glove. Freddy is too big of a character to be left alone after Englund dies. just like Dracula, many actors in 70 years will have played him.

    that is true. England won't last forever of course. I guess I like a lot people can't see anyone else playing the part.

    Maybe in a few remakes, but the volume of Freddy movies will never equal that of Dracula movies, plain and simple.

    I could see someone else doing it, but they'd have some gargantuan shoes to fill. People's impression of Dracula is all relative to the actor that plays him, even though the actual fictional character is relatively the same. Freddy is one way.

    I honestly didnt think this franchise would get a facelift of any kind until quite down the road.

    Friday the 13th and Halloween are one thing because Micheal and Jason are played by different people more or less entry to entry. Obviously Englund wont last forever however I would think they would leave this alone until atleast he passes or they have his approval. Maybe they do have his approval, maybe they dont.

    Either way, more than likely with the way this trendy genre has gone. The lead icon has always been replaced and I would be shocked if they went with Englund I suppose.

    probably stands in playing freddy anyways. Englund does the voice, and a few close ups, banks off the series.

    ^ That isn't a remake, it's a prequel.

    I actually think a Nightmare remake could be a good thing in the right hands, which would mean this one would suck, because they would hire some hack music video director. And in the end, I will still end up wasting money just to see if it's any good.

    Fucking hollywood.

    They should just do it Rob Zombie Halloween style and "re-imagine" it. 30% backstory, and 70% of the current time in which he kills random teenagers. And they should kill Freddy at the end, causing the film to have no sequels.

    I remember a rumour floating around a few years back on how Freddy was going to pass the tourch somehow,to either a long lost son or an obsessed fan that wants to become what he is.

    Id watch a remake, but it will never replace the original series of movies. IMO Englund is Freddy.

    Halloween was horrible so I say don't use it as a guide.

    The nun getting raped or the burning of Freddy? What would you include in the prequel?

    There's alot of story there. The rape. The Childhood (which would be great to see) and the early adult life and death. Def not looking for a remake, there's no need of that what so ever.

    I'd include all of it. They have a great story to work with if it's done right. I would like to see a fucked up version of Freddy made like August Underground. But it they made it like that it wouldn't be released in theaters or stores. But I think it would be kickass.
