New Freddy Revealed - SUCKFACE - 08-13-2008
<a href=\"http://www.imdb.com/name/nm0000671/news#ni0550160\" target=\"_blank\">http://www.imdb.com/name/nm0000671/news#ni0550160</a>Billy BobNot a bad choice but I thought the idea was to replace Robert with a younger actor and go more into the back story with this film to re launch the franchise from a new begging ?

I hear people moaning and groaning about him playing Freddy, but why? He's not a bad actor, and he certainly seems the right body type and has the right face?This also could just be a rumor based off that interview. I don't believe New Line has confirmed it, have they?Either way, I'm excited for a new Freddy movie. I always thought Freddy needed the dark feel that our movies of today has. I thought VS was great (Freddy wise, Jason wise, it was just horrible), so the dark theme should go well.I never loved anything past Part 2 so I'm sure this will live up to my expectations hehe.

Honestly, I can see Billy Bob playing Freddy, I think he'll do a great job as long as he can get rid of the southern accent.

Jesus, what's it gonna take for all this remake shit to stop. I'm most sure Englund is still capable of playing Freddy one more time

personally i would've gone with Paul Soter . he has the closest look to " Robert England " as you can get without using Robert . i'm not all that crazy about Billy Bob at all and don't think he could bring this character to life . if they are going to ruin it then they might as well cast pee wee herman to play hm <img src=\"style_emoticons/<#EMO_DIR#>/dry.gif\" style=\"vertical-align:middle\" emoid=\"<_<\" border=\"0\" alt=\"dry.gif\" /> . seeing billy bob play freddy ..... no wonder the parents torched him lol mike,

B-Bob is a bad choice, i never would have gues that! BOOOOOO...

Personally I would like to see Willem Dafoe as Freddy. Check him out in his make-up in "Shadow of The Vampire". He's really sinister looking. Plus he's a good actor too.
