The whole point of a r-e-m-a-k-e is to start fresh, retell the story, and do so with different actors and or characters all together.It'd be like remaking Ferris Bueller's Day Off and asking Matthew Broderick to return as the 17 year old rebel, school skipping teenager. It just wouldn't work.<!--QuoteEnd</div><!--QuoteEEndMy comment wasn't even suggesting that Englund should have played the remake Freddy. I was pointing out how dumb it is to have somebody else play a role so iconic when Englund is alive and well. It's not the same as a random stunt man playing that guy with the Shape or Jason. Freddy and Englund are synonymous because he created the character along with Wes Craven. Jackie Earle Hayley is only 13 years younger than Englund. So age has NOTHING to do with the argument. Your comparison is flat out terrible as I'm not saying Englund should play a teenager, but a role where he's in prosthetic makeup where age makes no difference. If anything, it's obvious I'm saying the remake was pointless, which it is.But again, seeing as you clearly are terrible at reading posts and writing internet sarcasm, I'd say you probably missed the point since you only looked at one sentence of my entire review and just decided to nitpick on something I clearly wrote in jest. But that's okay. I forgive you.
