Why isn't Robert Englund playing Freddie?

Because they're stupid. I wish they would have just done another Nightmare on Elm Street movie instead of a remake. Robert IS Freddy.

Basically because they want to take Elm Street in a new direction (reboot).

Also it's to avoid any confusion regarding the continuity of the franchise. People might assume that this new one is within the same "universe" if Englund is Freddy again.

I don't really like anyone else being Freddy Krueger either but I must say Jackie Haley is a good choice to go with. I loved him in Watchmen and I'm curious to see what he's going to be like as Krueger.

LuLu Rogers · 05-15-2009, 01:03 AM

Robert Englund IS Freddie!

This isn't like Halloween or Friday the 13th where different stunt men played the villan each time, Robert is the only one who has ever played Freddie!

I agree about Freddy; but I'm curious to see what Jackie's going to do.

Even some people were outraged Kane Hodder didn't return in Freddy vs. Jason since he played him in the previous 4 installments and grew a fanbase.

Myers had a different person each time; with the exception of George Wilbur (4 and 6) and Tyler Mane for Zombie's movies.

Same thing also can be said about Hellraiser's Pinhead. I don't see anyone else being him other than Doug Bradley.

I agree I think Jackie Haley is a good choice. I will give him a chance as Freddy. I think he could pull it off.

I was mad that Hodder wasn't in Freddy vs. Jason.

I'll be giving him the chance too. Just wondering, did you see Watchmen?

A Look at a Very Dark Location for Elm Street Shoot
Friday, May 22, 2009
By: MrDisgusting

B-D reader 'Burnite' just tipped us off to an article over at the The Times that reports Freddy Krueger is coming to Gary, Indiana's City Methodist Church on Friday, and New Line Cinema will use the historic landmark as a backdrop for a handful of scenes for its scheduled 2010 jumpstart of the A Nightmare on Elm Street franchise.

You can read more about the shoot and take a look at the creepy Church beyond the break.

Jackie Earl Haley has experience playing a weirdo in Little Children here's the description.

Little Children (2006)
advertisementEchoes of "Madame Bovary" in the American suburbs. Sarah's in a loveless marriage, long days with her young daughter at the park and the pool, wanting more. Brad is a househusband, married to a flinty documentary filmmaker. Ronnie is just out of prison - two years for indecent exposure - living with his mother; Larry is a retired cop, fixated on driving Ronnie away. Sarah and Brad connect, a respite of adult companionship at the pool. Ronnie and Larry have their demons. Brad should be studying for the bar; Larry misses his job; Ronnie's mom thinks he needs a girlfriend. Sarah longs to refuse to be trapped in an unhappy life. Where can these tangled paths lead?

Living in an upper middle class family-oriented suburb, Sarah and Richard Pierce, who have an infant daughter Lucy, have a dysfunctional marriage. Sarah is already seen as a bit of an outsider amongst the "park mothers", so news of the Pierce's dysfunctional marriage would drive a further wedge between Sarah and the rest of the mothers, who espouse the "white picket fence/2.4 children" mentality. Into the park comes househusband Brad Adamson and his infant son Aaron. Not knowing who he is or his story, the park mothers coin him "The Prom King" because of his preppy good looks. They collectively have a "look but don't touch" mentality toward Brad. Brad is struggling to find his place in life, having already failed the bar exam twice and avoiding his third attempt. He continually is looking for connections to his youth, when his life held so much promise. As such, he too is in a unsatisfying marriage to his beautiful and driven wife, Kathy, the household breadwinner. By chance, Sarah and Brad get to know each other, and are attracted to each other if only in their search for that something missing in their lives. The question becomes what they are to do with their feelings. In the meantime, sex offender Ronnie McGorvey, who was convicted for exposing himself to a child, moves into the neighborhood into the home of his mother, upon whom he has a pseudo-Oedipus complex. Ex-police officer Larry Hedges, an acquaintance of Brad's, takes it upon himself as his primary goal in life to rid the "perfect" family neighborhood of this scourge.
