Tony Todd as Freddy Krueger?

[badgonegood]

Do you think Tony would make an interesting Freddy? I bumped into him at my job (I work at a concert theatre). He was there for the Janet Jackson show. I started to ask him about Candy Man 4, but I didnt want to be rude. His mother still lives near us in CT.

[levil666]

FUCK NO!!! No offense, an interesting idea, but Freddy needs to be a wormy little creep that has chomo written on his face. Now Billy Bob fits that look, and so would Bill Moseley, but Tony Todd is a BMF. Better role for the small and fast, not the big and slow. Although if they were to remake Dream Child, he'd be an interesting Super Freddy.

I would say Bill Mosely. That would be the shiznit. Billy Bob would do a good job too though but I'm not sure if the film company could afford his payroll.

[Galerian]

That would be ridiculous.

[BooBerry]

Agreed, Tony Todd as Krueger is nonsense.

[FrighT MasteR]

[Doc Awesome]

This.

[strtfghtr]

Nah that dude it way too huge to be freddy, nice guy I saw him at a couple horror conventions and he always seems cool to his fans.

What part of CT are you from?

[Luris Blear]

I honestly think it could work. As long as he is being re-imaged, getting someone of Todd's class and voice would add a nice touch to Freddy.

[choptop2]

Dr. Awesome that is the GREATEST myers mask ever!

[RustedChainsaw]

That is BLASPHEMY. What if I went around saying Englund should play the Candyman?

[Chief Falling Rock]

I'm a fan of Todd, but no no no no no. Course I can't picture anyone playing freddy other than englund. Multiple people can pull of Jason and Michael, but not freddy. I'm a little scared of this one, but yet curious too. Hell I thought Heath Ledger was a weird choice for Joker. And look how Brilliant that turned out.

[Luris Blear]

Well, it seems like we're stuck with two facts.

The Nightmare on Elm Street reboot is happening.

Englund will not be Krueger.

Todd has a good creepy demeanor and experience in horror movies going back to 1990. Since we're already stuck with this happening, why not have someone who knows what he is doing?

[Red]

Having him involved with the project would be a more definitive idea than Billy Bob but if they were to land Billy Bob they would gather more attention.

could care less

F freddy

[UzumakiW]

Tony Todd kicks ass, but I don't think he'd fit too well with Krueger. Krueger is one of those goofy type of killers, and after watching him play the serious Candyman, I can't really see him fitting in it too well.

[koolmike]

I could see Johnny Depp as Freddy. He's versatile enough I believe. Not a bad choice considering he was in the first one. Regardless, there will always be only one Freddy for me.

to bad Heath died...he could do it :nod:

Great talent but I don't think he could make a good Freddy.

I'm in Hartford.

I would prefer a dark serious NOES reboot rather than a campy Freddy. That's why Tony came to mind.
