Are you trying to say they casted Jackie to MAKE MONEY?Robert didn't make Freddy, money and 7 sequels made him Freddy.<!--QuoteEnd</div><!--QuoteEEndJust my interpretation, but...I think the intent of that post was to say, "Michael Bay doesn't give a crap about history, respect to predecessors, or iconic status of characters or actors because he's too concerned with congratulating himself over all the dough he's bringing in. His wealth blinds him to certain realities, ideas, and notions that other people might take time to consider when making a film".Now, I could be wrong, but that's how I interpreted that post.As far as your assertion that Robert didn't make Freddy...as a filmmaker, actor, and fan...I have to very respectfully disagree. Wes Craven and almost anyone associated with the original film will be the first ones to tell you...that Robert was essentially born to play that role. When he walked onto set with full makeup and costume and the cameras rolled...everyone knew they were witnessing something very special. There are a few great stories in our upcoming documentary regarding this notion (from the participants on the original, and from some of the people involved with <i>Freddy's Revenge</i>), and I couldn't agree more with almost everything that was told to us in that regard. Robert brought something incredibly unique to the role that no stuntman or character actor could bring. Years of training, a classical background, knowing how to manipulate his body language to tell the character's story and bring it to life, being fully aware of elements that go WAY beyond what some people could even think of when acting...Englund brought all this and more to the character.Money and seven sequels made Freddy an icon. But, Robert Englund <i><b><u>made</u></b></i> Freddy.
