I know but I am talking about someone aside from Sam Rami touching this film and ruining a classic.
Whatever, all that matters is that when your 12 y.o. child watches it she'll remember that particular new Freddy...and then when she's 25 they'll make a new 'remake' of the movie and it'll be her daughter's/son's turn to be scared by the Freddy that will start acting then.
Circle of life mates. A new Freddy for the new generation...not the old one. That's the remake's purpose.

I wish holloywood would stop remaking movies that were already once succsessful and instead turn their attention to other movies that were not so.
I'm loving that they are doing a remake of "Piranha"
Did not like the new Nightmare on Elm Street. Too much cgi removed any fear the orginal had. Jackie Earle Hayley as Freddy was more creepy without the burned face.

Well they are making them so gullible gits can pay to see the same bloody film twice!
I'm surprised by your response Blue. You're always more open minded than this. You can't try to compare it to Robert England. I thought Jackie Haley did a great job with HIS interpretation of Freddy. He wasn't trying to copy England, he made it his own character. Kind of how Heath Ledger did with the Joker.
Also, I've heard people complain that the new Freddy's eyes look too squinty.
That's because that is how a TRUE burn victim really looks. They were going for realism on this look and not "coolness."
It's not. But it's still worth seeing.
I'm so sick of the comic book trend too. They're trying to put every comic book character ever into a movie and it's getting pretty lame imo. The Dark Knight will be the last comic book movie I will see for a veeeeeery long time. And I'm a Spider-Man fan but I'm damn sure not going to go watch a remake of a movie that's only ten years old.
Superhero Movies + Remakes = Double Trend = Double :throwup:
Totally. I intend on seeing it, and I'm not a rigid fanboy crying about how "they didn't do it justice" or whatever, I just think the vibe is going to be very different and not in a way that helps. The original is actually kind of disturbing in some places, kind of like a dream (slicing off his finger/nipples/whathaveyou).

better than the original, IMO
:nono:
True, what next for Jackie Earle Haley? Let's see him do a nice romcom.
I'll check it out someday.
i agree im sorry robert englund was too damn good to remake without the series should live and die with him

Having someone other than Englund play the role is like, in my opinion, trying to cast someone else as Han Solo. It's possible, but in the end it just won't work out. Even if Haley attempts to create his own version of the character, he will not escape the comparisions to the original. I think it's good that he puts his own spin on it, but this entire remake was doomed to fail from the beginning. Unlike other horror movies, Freddy had a personality and a voice, and without Englund it just won't seem as fun to me.
Yeah, Fuck Hollywood and these remakes. I thought you were supposed to BE original not RIP OFF the original.
