    Nightmare on Elm Street Remake Talk

    Now that the F13 remake is done and has reportedly received positive reaction from screen tests, Brad Fuller and Andrew Form of Platinum Dunes are setting their sights on Freddy. According to STYD they hope to begin shooting next Spring, and revealed the following about what they're aiming for:

    "It's like what we're doing to Friday the 13th," says Fuller. "It's not Freddy cracking jokes. We want to make a horrifying movie. The concept is so scary, don't fall asleep or you'll die. This guy gets you when you're most vulnerable, in your sleep. We love that. That's the basis of the movie. It'll be most similar to the first one but in terms of kills and dreams we'll borrow from the entire series."

    With TCM, F13th, and Halloween all over the dam, any odds on the likelihood the "should they/shouldn't they" dead horse-beating will pass us by on this one?

    Sounds good. I don't wanna hear any bitching when PD chooses not to pick Englund.

    Hopefully they do make Freddy scary. I like the fact they want to keep it dark. It's what Wes intended for Freddy. I don't like joking Freddy, that killed the franchise for me. I personally only like the first and last films.

    I also welcome a new comer to the role of Freddy. I would love to see Englund return as I think that is a great way to bring more butts to the seats, but I don't think he's the only one that can play Freddy.

    Here's hoping for the best.

    This sorta of goes in line with that thread I made a couple months back about the 80s being arguably the best decade for films.

    This decade is being strip mined for remakes across all genres not just horror. You don't that happening a lot with some of the other decades if any at all.

    Ugh...it really depends on the actor filling the fedora and glove if you ask me. Nightmare on Elm Street is my favorite horror film, period and Robert Englund is the man. However, I respect the fact that he feels he's too old to play Freddy, even though Wes originally intended Freddy to be in his sixties, but whatever. There are a few young actors out there that may be able to don the glove and scare the audience like Englund once did, but honestly I'm not holding my breath.

    Here's to hoping there are no familiar teenybopper faces and Freddy's role is filled by someone decent (since hoping it won't happen is probably out of the question as of now :-( ).

    I think Billy Zane would be a good fit.

    I'm a fan of the original but who isn't? Just as I said with Texas Chainsaw Massacre, Halloween, and Friday the 13th it shouldn't be remade but that's not going to stop Hollywood. I thought the Halloween and TCM remakes sucked really bad. TCM The Beginning wasn't that bad. The previews of the new F13 make it out to be really good. I've always been a huge fan of the F13 series so any addition to keep it alive is good in my books. I guess we will have to wait and see if it actually delivers. As far as Robert Englund returning as Freddy Krueger, I think it would be nice to see Englund given the role but I highly doubt it. Though Freddy was intended to be an older character so it would make sense for him to play it now. It will probably be handed to some new person either never heard of or from one of the WB/UPN shows that teeny boppers watch. I'll watch it to watch it but I'm not looking forward to this but I will probably change my mind once I see a preview much like F13 did. But, I am looking forward to the remake of "My Bloody Valentine" because I don't care what you say that shyt looks good!

    Freddy and Robert Englund belong together like peanut butter and jelly. I can't imagine Freddy being played by anyone other then Robert Englund, but being the big Nightmare fan that I am I would still check out the remake even without Englund. I hope it turns out good.

    I doubt them when they say it will be taken seriously. I agree with Dr. Awesome, the first and New Nightmare were my favs in the series.

    I don't know why Englund would need to be replaced, other than makeup time Freddy isn't really that demanding of a role, and he was never supposed to be a young guy. Whatever though I'm not looking forward to it with high hopes.

    I agree with the first one, and new nightmare being the best. Some of the sequals just got to hokey. I agree Christopher Walken and Billy Zane wouldn't be bad in the role. But its a hard thing to do. Jason and Michael were played by different people throughout the franchise, but Freddy was always Robert Englund. Replacing him will be a really hard thing to do. But I like the fact they wanna go back to the original. I like that version of Freddy. He's kinda like The Joker in The Dark Knight. He's tries to be funny, but funny to himself not other people.

    I think it's possible for Freddy to be entertaining and scary at the same time. I honestly thought his jokes added something to the series and really made it stand out among the rest. He's so much more interesting than, say, Jason.
