I imagine it'll be like RZ's Halloween...part prequel, part remake where you still follow the storyline from the first but add more backstory.As for Englund returning, I'm torn. To me, doing this is a completely fresh new beginning for the character of Freddy Kreuger. With Englund as Freddy, it's tied too much into the original series and people won't be able to separate themselves from it...especially now that he's much older. Having a new Freddy will allow a complete disconnect from the original and hoepfully allow it to stand alone like the TCM remake does and RZ's Halloween.Now, I'm not saying it would be a better movie like this. Trying to overcome the icon that is Robert Englund as Freddy is not an easy task. Personally, I'd rather see them carry on witht he Nightmare series (with Englund) and Friday series (ideally with Hodder) and just keep making them. But that's the 80's kid in me that just wants to see more slashers <img src=\"style_emoticons/<#EMO_DIR#>/smile.gif\" style=\"vertical-align:middle\" emoid=\"
