I'm not saying I am not looking forward to seeing it though, and it's gotta beat Halloween 2 !!!!!!!!!!!!!<!--QuoteEnd</div><!--QuoteEEndSorry... need to clarify. Robert didn't recommend anyone to replace him. TONS of fans online named JEH as the one to take over the role and when they signed him to it, Robert found out about it and he said he was thrilled to hear the choice. Here's what Robert said:"I love Jackie's character. Jackie is not big, and I think that Jackie's size is gonna really work for him as Freddy Krueger. Because I've always in my mindset imagined… One of the metaphors or one of the images I've used for Freddy is a little rabid dog that just bites your ankle and holds on. A little yelping dog. And I think Jackie brings that, with his own physicality, to the role, without ever having to work it a little bit. He doesn't really have to work that. He brings that naturally with who he is, which I think is really part of the way I see it. I'd even like to see Jackie dressed a little differently. Jackie's a wonderful young actor. Let him make it his own. "
