<!--quoteo<div class=\'quotetop\'>QUOTE</div><div class=\'quotemain\'><!--quotecPuck, I agree with you entirely.If it's going to be a prequel more than a remake(which I sincerely hope they have the sense to do that)then a new actor has to be involved.With the right story this has the potential to be a very disturbing film,Freddy as a human was of course a serial killer of children,the worst kind of murderer.You could end up with a film like "Seven" with the nescassary supernatural overtones in the last half or so of the plot.<!--QuoteEnd</div><!--QuoteEEnd Well, if you remember correctly; Wes Craven has said in many interviews that the Freddy character was intended to be a middle aged (40-50 y.o.) man. Robert would pretty much look dead on to what the original intention was for the character before burns. To put someone else in the role would be complete rubbish, so I'm fairly certain that's JUST what they'll do. I wouldn't mind seeing someone else portraying a younger version for smaller bits in the film, though.
