I was actually really happy with how Jackie Earl Hayley played Freddy. Its not his fault the writing was terrible. He had the right kind of presence, maybe needed to work on the voice a little more, but otherwise he did a great job.
Robert Englund will not play Freddy again. There isn't even a remote chance. But I will never snub a remake because it doesn't run the same people. Remakes are a good thing and a necessity to keep the originals alive. I will happily see this when it comes out.
