Please help keep Robert Englund as Freddy Krueger in the Nightmare Remake!
 
You've probably heard the news about the upcoming Nightmare on elm street remake by now. Platinum Dunes plans on remaking the film and has not asked Robert Englund to play Freddy yet. What an insult!

If you're a Freddy fan, please sign our petition to keep Robert Englund as Freddy Krueger in the Nightmare Remake.

Also please continue to help spread the word about this petition. Many fans feel the same way I do and now it's time to attempt to stop this. It's too early for Robert to retire this role. He should at least have one final film as Freddy....let's make it happen and let Platinum Dunes and New Line know how we feel here!

I actually wouldn't mind seeing someone new do the role. I don't think Robert Englund was ever anything special.

I understand Keith Richards is vying for the role.

I agree, most remakes are pointless. And it's not just horror films - there was even a remake of 12 Angry Men!!

If NOES is going to be remade no matter what, though, then why have Robert Englund in the role again? If he plays the role in the same way, then people would say it was pointless - and if he played the role differently, people would say he shouldn't have changed it, so it's a no-win situation.

Doesn't matter how many people sign your petition. Because producers, etc know most horror fans are suckers and will go see it anyway.Horror fans are so desperate for horror movies that they will just about watch anything. How else would you explain paris hilton making it into a remake of what many call a classic. You think she would been picked for a remake of some serious drama classic such the godfather or gone with the wind? of course not cause the movie producers opinion of horror fans is that they will watch anything. but who knows it might be ok. the alien franchise seems to be moving on since they left out whats her face (ripley) even though it did have some help from predator. but halloween sucked since curtis left too. So who knows. i'll go and watch it (dvd) and i bet everyone who signs the petition will go see it too.
