The movie is totally gonna suck! Robert Englund IS Freddy Kruger and no one else could ever even come close to being him. Without Robert Englund the movie is just not gonna work. What a waste of time and $$.

hmmm, next they will remake Aliens. and robocop. and then after a few years they will re-remake nightmare. and then they will re-write the bible, and and 're-imagine' that.
in closing, nightmare on elm street SO does not need to be re-made. its fucking scary, bloody, tense and classic and will withstand the test of time long after michael bay is dead.
thankyou

Its crinimal that this is happening!
I can remember seeing the original and the best nearly 25yrs ago it was a classic as we all know
"Billy Bob Thornton" playing "Freddy Kruegger, I don't think so yeah sure he is good in comedy but don't think he was the best choice for this film
Hollywood and the film industry have run out of ideas and they feel like going back to classics and screwing them.
Remakes by large are inferior films unless they are done very well.
Sorry to say not seen much of that lately.
I guess I will stick with my old DVD copy of the classic

This is James Gilks (owner of SerialKillerCalendar.com). Let me start by saying that I love Robert Englund. He is a talented actor and a treasure to the horror industry. That said, I really hope that he is not cast as Freddy in the new Nightmare on Elm St remake. I understand that this is practically blasphemy in the horror fan community. It is tantamount to saying that Hellraiser 1 was slow and poorly made (which it is but thats another story). The truth is that Freddy Kruger has the potential to be one of the most terrifying and truly lasting characters in horror movie history. He is a serial killer pedophile with knifes for fingers that can get to you at your most vulnerable (when your sleeping). This is pure nightmare fuel (no pun intended) and put in the right hands, this franchise could be reborn as something extremely horrific that will stand the test of time. Now, Robert Englund brings a great humor to the role and helps to dull the edge of the atrocities on the screen. I love this and the original Nightmare on Elm St series is one of my favorites. But is that really what we want? Do we truly need the horror and sheer disturbingness of this character desensitized by one liners and cheep visual gags. I honestly don’t think we do. I am hoping for a gritty, in your face realism that paints Freddy as the monster he really is. I think we would be far more impacted if the film makers drew their inspiration from real life pedophile serial killers such as Albert Fish, Peter Kurten or Carl Panzram. What we need now, in these cold and uncaring times, is a Freddy Kruger that doesn’t pull any punches. We need truly dark and devious creature who can transform our once terrifying bogyman in to something that will really give us nightmares. And, unfortunately, I just don’t think Robert Englund (who I mean no offense to) can bring us this.

Well, that’s just the opinion of someone who runs a company devoted to selling serial killer merchandise so you can take it or leave it. I hope you can all stop by SerialKillerCalendar.com to pick up some morbid merch (including the new Serial Killer Magazine, Serial Killer Trading Cards and Serial Killer Action Figures. I know, its a shameless display of self promotion but really, I have to justify reading up on Batman Movies while I am supposed to be working somehow.

I cannot believe that anyone would even think of replacing Robert, he IS Freddy Krueger! and why the hell would people be angry about the idea of a remake? I think it's a wonderfull idea, simply because that means it's a whole new movie that i can watch with my favorite movie killer/dream guy in :P and even if it's not Robert playing the role, i'll still watch the movie because it's not just the actor i care for, it's the charcter i love aswell, but it'll be way to disapointing if he doesn't play the role of Freddy, because he IS Freddy, you know what i mean? and another thing, what's the problem with Freddys jokes? i think that without his crazy humourous comments, he wouldn't be the Freddy we all know and love so dearly ,and those jokes made him memorable and it also made him very unique and somewhat more cruel compared to other horror charcters, it just adds to his character, and i dont think they should change anything about him at all, not even his clothes, because it just wouldn't be the same.
