Discussion thread about Nightmare on Elm Steet: New Freddy with 30 replies from the Vevmo community.
Angelina Jolie's Ex is the New Freddy Kruger Hmmm…..inneresting casting! According to reports, Billy Bob Thornton has been cast as Freddy Krueger for the Nightmare On Elm Street remake. The original Freddy, Robert Englund, says he thinks Billy Bob is an "excellent choice" and, "A big budget should mean the film will look a lot better than some of the old movies." What do y'all think? He freaks us out as a normal person — we think he's perfect for the role! [Image via WENN.] Thoughts??

Okay so just like the Friday the 13th remake I am a little wary about it and one of the concerns is that Robert is not going to be Freddy. He made that character and he played it so well for so many years, it'll be weird seeing someone else filling that role. Nothing against Billy Bob Thorton but I am just wary.

I could understand that if it was a sequel but it is a remake...I don't want any of the old in with the new on a remake.

Hmmmm.. interesting. My sources over at BD said it was only a rumor and that he hadn't officially been cast yet. Coming from one hugee horror movie buff, this will be terrible. I am sorry, but I don't think Billy Bob is a good actor. He doesn't have a scary appeal to him at all. All his roles in movies are the same practically. Terrible casting choice. Pick someone who can play a crazy person. I am sceptical about this remake. I was with Halloween too, but that turned out fine. This Friday the 13th remake looks to be amazing, but this is turning out to be terrible. I am so mad. I am not saying all I want is Robert Englund because I can't ask for that, I am asking that they cast someone who know how to play a crazy person. Hell, Jack Nicholson. It isn't like Freddy was young when he was torched. What has Billy done that would justify him as a great actor? The closest thing he has ever done to be note-worthy was Monster's Ball and Halle Berry stole that movie from him.

You mean Bad Santa didn't prove his acting abilities to you?? :girl_haha::laugh2::lol2::rofl:
stacee_danielle;25800 wrote:Well actually Bad Santa was pretty funny! lol. You all do have a point he might not be the best actor, or maybe he just hasn't been given the opportunity to cast an outstandingly great role. Who knows. But you never know what he's capable of. Heath Legder was a perfect example. No one ever would've thought of him playing the Joker character, let alone act it out so greatly like he did. So it's always interesting to see a movie star explore new roles.

It was a great movie and instead of taking his chance to shine, Halle Berry outshined him. I am just so upset because they pick someone who never ventured outside of his comfort zone. Billy has always played the jerk and has never changed.

I didn't like Bad Santa at all. He has had a perfect chance tp be great. Monster's Ball was perfect. It was a great movie and instead of taking his chance to shine, Halle Berry outshined him. I am just so upset because they pcik someone who never ventured outside of his comfort zone. Billy has always played the jerk and has never changed.
LilysMom;26092 wrote:Just because he is a jerk, doesn't mean he necessairly will be good for the role. I mean all of his roles are repetitive and boring. He isn't the greatest actor either, or he just hasn't proven to me that he is a good actor. Freddy Krueger is a jerk, but he is a psychopath and a creep. Billy has never done anything like that. H has always played the bully. And that is why I don't want them to pick him. i want them to pick someone with a bit more experience in playing a deranged person.
I hated Bad santa , ugh. So if he is always the jerk he should be perfect for this movie:)

Jack Earle Haley is the new Freddy Kreuger:

The roles of Jason and Michael were revolving doors, but really....Englund WAS Freddy Krueger. I hope he at least makes a ridiculous cameo of some sort. I own the box set and its way worth owning. Got it on Amazon for cheap - like 26 bucks?
Oh how cool! I LOVED him in Watchmen, and honestly, I hadn't heard of him until then. He was perfect for Rorschach and I think he'll be perfect for Freddy too! Nice.
