I agree completely though I have to say... Englund is Freddy. I think that if they tried to replace him it would knock the idea of a remake right out into "who cares" for me. When I would go to watch it, I would be model that characters every move off the first one, wanting that character to somewhat fail so that I could complain. So I think my letting us know ahead of time that Englund is not portraying Freddy only damaged the movie's chance with the fans.

There is an off chance that it would be a good remake. This is a hard thing to accomplish. The actor would have to get almost the same style of acting as Englund to pull it off. Some of those cheesy death lines were originals, straight from him. You have to have that right amount of cheesy with the right amount of creepy pedaphile look, it is going to be horribly hard to find any one to fit that role.
