I don't know why, for the other remakes (F13, Halloween), I've wanted practically exact formats of the old films, with the same exact style killer and no changes to the story. But for this one, I'm totally ready for a change.I know "Englund is Freddy" but to be completely honest, I'm glad to see someone else take on the role! Sure, it would have been fantastic to see Robert back on the big screen as Freddy, and he did great as Freddy in VS at his age, but we're lucky enough to have his replacement be an Academy Award nominee! Ever since the suggestion of Jackie Earl Haley as Freddy, I was excited to see if he'd be chosen, what he'd do with the character.I personally think his performance (from what we see in the trailer) is nothing like Englund's. This is a completely new Freddy, something I don't mind at all.Perhaps it's because I'm not a "loyal" fan to the series. Though Freddy is great in each film, the only ones I consider worth watching is N1 and 2. After 3, I've always thought Freddy needed a darker atmosphere. I think we may have gotten just that.I figure it's because, unlike Jason and Michael who were intended to be just human and nothing more, Freddy IS a monster.I'm pumped for this movie, something I haven't felt for a horror film in a long time.

King Kong and Dracula needed to be remade as the originals were made over 50 years ago, the art of film making has improved so much since then..... However the original Nightmare still holds up to this day. Does not need to be remade. Just my 2 cents.And really comparing Nightmare to King Kong and Dracula is an unfair comparison. Those 2 are legends in the history of cinema.<!--QuoteEnd</div><!--QuoteEEndI agree that the Original Nightmare can stand on its own. It's truly a great horror film. However, I want to see Freddy back on the big screen again and Robert feels he is too old for the part now. So, what other alternative is there but to find a new actor? Robert Englund himself said he would love to see a remake and to see what today's technology could bring to the table. So, if Robert himself wants to see a remake, does that make him unloyal to the character he brought to life? If we link arms with Robert and take a trip down remake street and support a remake of NOES, are we unloyal as well? I disagree... I think those who refuse to allow room for a remake... especially now that Robert supports it... are the ones who are being unloyal. What better way to show your loyalty than to support the Freddy character being brought back to theaters for a new generation of fans?And I think you can list Freddy Krueger along the rankings of Dracula and King Kong. Freddy is ALWAYS on the list of best ALL-TIME movie villians in the history of cinema.

I say that they can continue to express their feelings but it just annoys me that people just bash on remakes for the mere fact they are remakes. Get over it... remakes always have and always will exist in Cinema. There's no use crying about it. You'll always have your originals to hold on to.

Remakes are lame. That is just my opinion. They lack ORIGINALITY. Just like my first post stated..... I did not have anything negative to say about being loyal to the franchise or the actors. That's fine if that is what your into. You know what annoys me? Fanboys. The fact that people get upset over another persons opinion. I love the "if your not a loyal fan.... then keep your comments to yourself" comment................ Pure fanboy statement. I would prefer that the movie studios would use their money to promote and market original films like Trick R Treat instead of these remakes.... That's just my OPINION. Instead we get the studios making un-original remakes just to make a buck because they have a built in fanbase....... all the marketing dollars then goes there and you get films like Trick R Treat that not many people will see..... LAME and BORING.

Or would you be find with an original story and still have Jackie as Freddy?

People seem to not know what the horror industry has become...Hollywood does use original ideas, maybe not JUST AS MUCH but they still do, and do you know what us horror fans say to those new ideas? "That movie was SH*T!". THAT is why they resort to making remakes, that for some reason still suck but we can still have hope for the most of them.Horror movies have ALWAYS been considered bad cheezy movies that make a quick buck out of entertainment. WE dont see it that way because we are horror fan boys. We are the ones who say "what makes this a bad movie?". The reputation of horror fims has always been negative.Now there has been multiple hits throughout the years, but none of these films are oscar winners! To say that writers should start getting their own ideas is absurd, because you do see a LOT of that.Horror hasnt changed, its just built a fanbase. They are still the crappy movies that WE THE FANS have come to love.Thats not to say ofcourse that there hasnt been some great horror films out there that everyone can love, but thats why you get these corny one liners, and these horrible actors... The original Nightmare actors were SUB PAR, the only good acting was Englund, and as we see so far the only KNOWN actor in this one is... none other then the main character Freddy!So to say this film isnt ORIGINAL is bull. The character has been changed so much, and the new script, and new make up, and new actors in it self is originality. New films that are "original" we usually critisize for being horrible, but as you see some horror films still give us hope like Trick R Treat.

I actually think Jackie will make a really cool and more realistic Freddy.... I'm sure I would not go see it in the theater but I would rent it...... as I will this remake. I'm sure it will be enjoyable to watch. I'm not saying that the remakes cant be fun. I'm just saying that they are un-original. I would rather see many new franchises made. SAW for example is not my favorite thing, but it was new and has spawned numerous sequels. I just wish more films like Trick R Treat were made.For me, remakes are only good when the remake is better then the original or has the potential to be better then the original. The Hills Have Eyes for example..... The original is a cult classic but honestly it is very low budget and poorly done. And you brought up King Kong before..... King Kong needed to be remade in my opinion with CGI. That is the only true way that story could be fully envisioned on film. All only my opinion ofcourse....The AWIL remake will be an abomination. Mark my words.

I think originality in any movie coming out of Hollywood is rare. Most things these days, even beyond movies, are regurgitated ideas themselves. However, John Carpenter's The Thing is always a great example of a remake that was actually better than the original. Remakes are not bad because they're remakes. One may be good, one may be bad. People who hate change or want to hold their precious movie in their back pocket so that no one deemed "unworthy" can ever hear about it or alter it will probably hate a remake before they actually give it a try. I just find it ridiculous that people can argue about a trailer that really gives no true spoilers. I mean, it's a SLASHER movie... Do you really expect anything new or different? I mean, come on! Nearly all the ideas for a slasher were overwith in the early 80's and in only a handful of films. You can't remake a Seven Samurai, or Terminator 2, or Jaws, or Braveheart, or 2001... but a slasher? Sure!
