    No Englund for Remake

    “I think there is always room for new interpretations by using the new tecnology,” he tells the site. “In the past, they were talking about a prequel. Anyway, I’m too old for this new version, otherwise it would be "FREDDY VS. VIAGRA.” - Freddy Himself.

    Sucks but oh well. Guess we'll see where this goes.

    Here's more info on Englund NOT being Freddy...

    Freddy Over Englund?
    Krueger rumored to be recast for new Nightmare.
    by Stax

    February 4, 2008 - Ever since it was reported that New Line Cinema plans to restart its A Nightmare on Elm Street franchise, fans have wondered whether actor Robert Englund would reprise his role as the series' iconic serial killer, Freddy Krueger.

    ShockTillYouDrop.com claims that the studio and production company Platinum Dunes want to start fresh with a new actor in the role. Englund seems fine with seeing a new actor play the role that made him a horror star.

    In an interview with BadTaste.it, Englund said he believes the new Nightmare is "due to the great success of the Rob Zombie version of Halloween and I also liked a lot the Texas Chainsaw Massacre remake, even if I think the original by Tobe Hooper is perfect. Likewise, I consider the original version of Nightmare on Elm Street a classic of this genre, but I think there is always room for new interpretations by using the new technology. In the past, they were talking about a prequel. Anyway, I'm too old for this new version, otherwise it would be Freddy vs. Viagra."

    IGN chatted the other day with Platinum Dunes producer Brad Fuller, who informed us that all this talk about a new Nightmare franchise is a bit premature. "I have not had any discussions with New Line beyond discussing our interest in the title. So this feels like its down the line a bit," said Fuller, who added that they still need to determine which direction to take before they decide whether Englund will be back as Freddy.

    I've read rumor on movies.com a lot of fans think Michael Rosenbaum will be up for the role cuz he's been talking to Michael Bay. Although the rumors a bit of a stretch considering they could be talking about well....anything. I think the guys the best Lex Luthor ever on screen but I dunno about Freddy. I think he'd get the look down good anyway.

    Freddy vs. Viagra, lol... If they do bring in another actor I hope he plays it crude and dark and they leave the comedy, that Englund brought, out. I hope balls to wall scarest thing i've ever seen other wise I don't think i'd want to see it without Englund but prob will cause it's be a New Nightmare Flick.

    I have the same feeling along the 'Robert is Kruger' thing. If England isnt in it, Im not going to go see it.

    Who cares about England?
    Was it really that great of a horror series?
    No it was not.
    Only way this series would be worth a remake is if the creators.... tripped acid the entire time.

    People said the same thing about Kane Hodder (I think that's how you spell his name) not being Jason in Freddy vs. Jason and it made money cause people saw it. Same thing here.

    It takes more talent and personality to play Freddy then Jason imo

    More people can act as Jason - Less people can act as Freddy.

    I agree but people are still gonna see this if Freddy is remade with a different actor... even if it's to bash it.

    im so tired of remakes i get a headache everytime i see a preview of a new one now.

    i dont think casting someone else as Krueger is all so bad though. I understand that Robert England is infamous as freddy but i think it can still work without him if they take it in a different direction, just like I think Heath Ledger will work as Joker in the new batman even though jack nicholson played him in the past and did a fine job. In fact, from the preview I think that Heath could even be a better Joker. If they find the right person to play Freddy the remake has potential to be a good movie but if they continue to use England, its gonna be like watching the same thing over again.

    I feel the same way and i have a petition going to try to get them to keep Robert Englund as Freddy Krueger in this remake. If we do nothing then they surely aren't going to change their minds, but if something is done then at least there's some chance it could work.

    This is different than with any other remake because Robert Englund has been the ONLY Freddy Krueger throughout 8 films and a television series, plus many promos. He clearly IS Freddy Krueger and he's just as popular today as he was back in the 80's so it's wayyy too early for him to be replaced. I've met Robert 4 times at horror conventions and i know for a fact he signs thousands of autographs at each convention, If most people didn't see him as Freddy then i don't think he'd be that popular (even though he's great in all his other films). He is so talented in everything, but Freddy has always been his specialty. It's like firing someone who's been loyal to a job for 24 years! It just isn't right.

    Please sign the petition if you feel the same way i do about this remake at the link in my signature.
