"F*** Jackie"? It certainly wouldn't behoove him to do that in any way, shape, or form. What would he gain from looking like a total egotistical prick by saying bad things about Jackie? I believe Robert when he says he's happy about JEH replacing him, but...even if he <b>wasn't</b>, you'd never hear the truth about it because it just wouldn't be a smart PR move on his part.Plus, it's not like Robert had a lot of say in the matter anyway.The thing that upsets me so much about this film is the complete lack of respect shown to Wes Craven. His name isn't even in the title credits, for cryin' out loud. No "Based On Characters Created By" or "Based On A Story By". Nothing.Simply shameful.<!--QuoteEnd</div><!--QuoteEEndAgreed with all of this. Just because Robert "endorsed" Jackie doesn't mean we have to embrace him as the second coming.....As Drwynn stated, Robert didn't have much of a choice and is humble enough to not bad mouth the new film....

Who knows... maybe they will in the film's credits. New Line is responsible for all of the marketing and who does what and whatnot. Platinum Dunes had to be chosen by New Line to do this remake. It's not like PD went in and did it themselves.Wes has said he didn't want to see it remade. But Robert said he would love to see a remake with today's technology and give someone else a chance to make their own spin on the character. He said that when he heard that JEH was chosen, he said it was a perfect pick for the role because Jackie's got the "chops" to pull off a great Freddy look and he's also smaller in stature and Robert always pictured Freddy being like an annoying ankle-biting dog that gets under your skin. If you say that Robert doesn't really mean what he's saying.. then calling him a flat out liar doesn't make him look very good either.With all due respect...

But, in the event that you perhaps feel I was "calling Robert a flat-out liar", I'm going to respond. Because I certainly wouldn't ever want anyone to think that's the case.I personally never said Robert didn't "really mean" what he said, and I certainly <b>NEVER</b> called him a liar. I wrote, <i>"I believe Robert when he says he's happy about JEH replacing him, but...even if he wasn't, you'd never hear the truth about it because it just wouldn't be a smart PR move on his part."</i>The key words in that sentence being "believe" and "if". I'm not accusing Robert of lying, and would never do so. Perhaps I should've written, "Even if he wasn't telling the truth (which I definitely don't think is the case!)...". But, I assumed given the picture under my name in this forum, my role on NSA, and my obvious fandom for the character and series, that had to be pretty obvious. For crying out loud, I've worked (briefly) with the guy, respect him immensely, and honor him as both an actor and horror icon. Look at my avatar. It's got to be pretty clear from my expression in that picture that the moment I met him was one of the happiest of my life. So, I'm hoping you weren't directly addressing me and putting words in my mouth.I was merely making the general but very valid point that applies to almost <b>everyone</b> in this town; even if someone felt differently, you wouldn't necessarily hear their honest opinion. That's just how this town works most of the time (and many other towns and business, for that matter). I never said Robert was lying, I never said I didn't believe him. I was only hypothesizing...making a point, stating how it is in most occasions. People in this town are not exactly known for their honesty sometimes. Again, key word: sometimes. And I'm not meaning Robert or trying to imply anything about him. So, I hope no one thinks that was what I was doing.As for Platinum Dunes having no say in the matter...it's Michael Bay. He could tell <b>ANYONE</b> at New Line or just about anywhere else (with perhaps the exception of Spielberg at Dreamworks) what he did and did not want, and most people (if not all of those people) would kowtow to his demand...because he's Michael Bay. To me it reeks of a marketing ploy, much in the same vein as the remakes of Myers' and Voorhees' "origins". And, as I said, it makes a great deal of sense to a degree. I just don't happen to agree with it.Cheers.

I was not saying that you were in fact calling him a liar. And by the way... when I say "you"... I mean "you" as in the general population. I'm not targeting you specifically, Lito. Just want that to be clear.

Mark, I just want to be sure EVERYONE understands that I was never calling Englund a liar. Because the last thing I want to be accused of is calling Robert (one of my lifelong heroes) a liar. NOTHING could be farther from the truth. If someone infers that by something I wrote...well, they're inferring incorrectly.

By the way... I like the new look and trailer! (back to topic)
