As awesome as Englund is, I actually think it would be cool to see somebody else's take on the role.

That said, I'd prefer no remake at all...but that isn't particularly likely.

Ugggghhhhhhh.

I dont care if they remake it or not. I dont care who plays what role. If the trailer sparks my intrest Ill check it out, if not, I woulnt.
Im tired of bitching about remakes, watch it or not. Who cares.

Englund has played that role more than anyone has reprised any role I can think of (except maybe Doug Bradley as Pinhead). I'd say maybe give him a break and see how someone else hacks it. That is, of course, if they really have to make a remake at all.

Maybe Depp can play Krueger this time...

Now that sounds interesting. If they get a GOOD actor to play Freddy, fine. But if it's someone we've never seen or heard of and that can't act, I think they should stick to Englund (not that he's a great actor anyway...).

And nope, it shouldn't be remade. Maybe a new chapter, but not remade.

But then again... the whole series sucked except the first and the last movie, so maybe they should remake from 2 on.
*get's ready to get spanked*

Englund is a fine actor..I was joking about Depp. He could never be threatening or creepy enough to play Krueger. He'll always be "that guy from 21 Jump St." to me, seeing him try to be scary would be hilarious.

If its a good re-imagining, like Dawn of the Dead or Halloween, then I say go for it.

I thin Lindsay Lohan should be in the starring role

The only 2 that didn't suck are the 1st one and New Nightmare. The 2nd was okay, just a little....80's cliche I guess.

I don't think Englund is much of an actor, but I never saw him in any other role so... :confused:

Depp can be creepy! That 21 Jump St. thing was ages ago, I think his roles in some Tim Burton movies granted him some creepiness. Specially in Sweeney Todd. But of course I doubt Depp would ever take that role. It would be ironic, seeing him become Freddy when he died at his hands some 20 years ago :D

somehow I knew Sweeney Todd was going to be mentioned...

Depp looks creepy because his high cheekbones combined the Burton's ubiquitous white pancake makeup gives him a corpselike aspect. But hes too pretty to be scary really...

and yeah it would be ironic not only foryour reason, but he is also the only actor besides Englund in that movie whop is still active.

I'm guessing you didn't like Sweeney Todd :o

I wasn't too huge a fan of it either, actually. it wasn't bad, but it wasn't all that good either. guess i just don't like musicals all that much.

What do you mean the only one who is still alive?
