  • Its true! A Nightmare On Elm Street has to be one, or the best, horror series ever made and thats all down to Robbert England! No remake will be better than the originals!

  • it sucks witout robert englund in it

  • Only Englund whem Freddy!!!

    BOICOT FOR THIS NEW AND FAKE MOVIE!!!

  • isnt he suppose to be burnt. . . his wrist area seems to be in great shape . . .

  • on the first pic his wrist wasnt burnt

  • I think the original was way to better then this one

  • ls like there butchering another classic

  • rober plz stay as freddy plzzzz

  • im with u...y did he do this movie too...like a gift to us...ayyy!!

  • New Freddy is played by Jackie Earle Haley.

  • Bomb or not Robert showed freddy to be freddy in freddy vs jason.

  • Hollywood should let the old movies alone STOP making bad remakes they are not gonna be the same, BE ORIGINAL PEOPLE.

  • @Kaykina

    Oh look another pointless troll who has no respect and no life for others!

  • I don't care if it's billy bob or jackie earl hayle is not gonna be as scary as before! WHY DOING THIS REMAKE...is not gonna be the same if you wanna do the remake do it with THE ORIGINAL FREDDY... How you are going to change the ORIGINAL Freddy!!! Robert Englund he was amazing as Freddy why changing complety his face, his face is so known.I did not like the make up job on the new FREDDY IT SUCKED SO BAD...

  • @Kaykina I couldn't agree with you more. I could have done a better job of re creating it.

  • @duranmichael24 thanks!!! I have someone who understands my point of view :)

  • ROBERT COME BACK!!!!!

  • It aint BillyBob he would ruin it..it's Jack Earle Haley aka Rorschach from watchmen.

  • cant wait till it comes out, april 30th 2010!

  • jackie earl hayle is going to rock , noone does scary like hayle, hes going to add some actual scare to this franchise and save it from the calamity that was freddy vs jason

  • I thought they already cast Freddy and he was some Dawson's Creek lookin douche. I may be wrong but Robert Englund is freddy no fuckin billy bob bullshit., someone tell me whats goin on please. for God's sake people it's Halloween!

  • First off, I thought they already cast Freddy

  • Englund only!!! should have done a remake with Robert, even in his old age he will be twice the freddy that anyone could even dream of being....

  • you are so right sir ONE FREDDY ONLY ONE!!!!

  • LOL UHH NOOOO ITS jacie urle haly or somewthing ike that

    \

  • im not saying this movie gonna rock or suck...i just think is time to move on...remakes are a bad idea and ppl wanting the remakes as the originals are wrong too as i say is time to move on accept new things probably horror genre just need a good deserved rest as happens before with the westerns

  • the thing that makes me mad about this guy is he doesnt have thr "Freddy eyes"

    if ya know wat i mean

  • oh my god. it is a emake. get over it. i mean nightmare was an awsome franchise, but it was still just a movie. let other enjoy it from the begining like we did with some new effects and what not.

  • Your was is right about the character thing....We though Jack Nick had the joker locked until....ledger rocked it....Give Jackie a chance.........

  • The trailer is already out for it.

  • I agree with you about Robert Englund being the one and only Freddy but before we totally dismiss this new "retelling" and the new Freddy, let's just all check out the movie when it comes out, then we can make our own concrete assessment. With that said, I also agree that the movie studios really need to come up with some new horror ideas and stop remaking old classics or foreign horror flicks (Quarantine, anyone?) Originality really needs to be the name of the game.

  • I agree 100% with you Tioiia. When i heard Ledger was playing the Joker i was eh, he cant top Nicholson. He did. Why not give this guy a chance. He seems to be aiming for a more sadistic Freddy and dropping the humor. Although the humor will be missed by some. I think this guy can pull it off. Go into this movie with a REIMAGIANED mind frame and lets see what this guy has to offer up wth his version of Freddy.

  • your tottaly wrong the best thing about freddy was his humor and how he speaked with his victims before he killed em like quote when about 2 kill a black person from freddy vs jason "how sweet black meat" how is robert ever gonna be replaced you cant just remember ive been watching freddy since i was 7 and he was always the one now i have his gloves and this mofo new freddy better not f it up -.-!

  • Tha music is from Heroes Of Might and Magic games.

  • why not let robert englund pick his replacement he does know alot about the character so come on.

  • robert gave his blessing to earlie to take over the character as he was getting too old to do freddy

  • hahaha frikin toilet noises for that guy good on ya lol

  • i can't believe robert englund isn't playing him

  • jackie earl hayley is playin freddy

  • its tough to decide whos the worst director but i sure do know whos the laziest studio, and that honour belongs to the guys making this film

    and no this has nothing to do with whos playing freddy

    this is to do with the fact that dunes does nothing but take old franchises and remake them to make a buck because ive seen the list, they have made no original films and from the sounds of it, their films are inferior to the classics and back then no one knew they would become franchises

  • Honestly, I don't see why everyone isn't willing to give a new actor a chance behind the makeup. Yes, I totally understand that Robert Englund IS Freddy. The man created one of the most iconic horror characters in existence, but I wouldn't rule out the possibility of someone picking up the role and doing a good job with it. I for one want to see what they come up with. If I end up eating my words, so be it. I still want a new nightmare.

  • robert is freddy kruger and no matter how good the film is it will still be shit because you will be sitting there thinking fuck it aint fred just a freddy imitation this is not like any other movie charictor its more like a boxer trying to be mahamid ali or going to see the bootleg beatles there good but they aint the beatles id prefer to see robert england play freddy in his 80's than a new guy play freddy

  • Freddy isnt like Jason or Michael Myers where you can put any menacing tall man behind a mask. There is only 1 Kreuger, keep it that way.

  • Englund doesn't want to do it. There's not a choice, you can't blame the studio.

  • I do agree there is only one freddy but this new guy is under a lot of pressure from us fans so hopefully he won't fuck it up completely.

    I can't believe Robert Englund didn't want to come back, although i can't say I'm not surprised seeing as Wes isn't involved in this either. I'm looking forward to this film and the new Freddy,does'n't mean I'm not going to miss the old nightmares though.

  • this will be the worst night mare yet and if they show robert englund it hell be probly be pissed off and he will be convinced that he should be the only freddy krouger and demand that they redo the movie and he will be the freddy krouger and if there going to remake the original a night mare on elm street they better watch all the ones in the past even freddy vs jason if they want the real freddy krouger but by a different actor so they better be sure the make it right or els i will never watch

  • no cause in his interview he said hes looking forward to the new freddy cause the guy playing him and alittle new twist to freddy

  • also i have the Lead actor who IS gfoing to play Freddy I will repost a intervew he did later

  • i cant wait, my fav killer of ALL time!!!!! and i agree with Enguland

  • well i also believe that there is only one man that can play freddy krueger and that is robert englund i dont know even if i want to watch it cos lets face it, it aint going to be anything as good as the originals and i also dont think that jackie earl haley looks that good 2 be honest

  • what about jigsaw dingus

  • No doubt I'll end up watching this remake out of interest and as a fan of the original film but I don't hold out much hope for it to be honest.

  • ok ok everyone stop ur bitching ok just stop it i dont care if u put thumbs down on me but listen if ur a true freddy fan like me u will watch the movies no matter what which i am going to watch the remakes i dont think they will be the best but im a fan so i will watch them and enjoy them

  • I heard it was Jackie Earle Haley The one who played Rorschach

  • Yeah it is Jackie Earle Haley playing Krueger in the remake. Billy Bob Thornton was only a rumour early on in the remakes development. Lyndsey Lohan was alos rumoured to be playing the role of Nancy early on too, but she isn't.

  • Honestly, they should have just dropped the film idea if Robert turned it down. We don't have to remake every single fucking horror film out there. Re-doing Halloween, Chuckie, Leprechaun and Friday the 13th are bad enough, do we really need to suffer some more?

  • It should be a sin to remake freddy....so wrong, it's just so wrong.

    Billy Bob as Freddy?!!! What were they thinking?

    It's all just so wrong.

  • Why are they remaking movies that don't need to be remade. Hollywood please stop!!!!

  • Simple answer is because Hollywood is all out of fresh ideas where horror is concerned so they chase the quick easy cash by producing remakes.

  • Uhhh no Billy Bob is not the new Freddy the cast is already set for the remake. Google that shit dude its not Billy Bob.

  • itsa mask... who gives a shit... i just hope they get the voice right... oh sorry itsa a latex mask... whoopee... fuck Bill bob Thorton in his dumb stupid fuck ass.. he don't deserve the role of Freddy... fuckin old greasy FAGGET

  • jackie earle haley would be the new Fredy Kruger

  • guys robert england has been asked for the role and he said "no"

  • Billy Bob Thornton as the new Fred Kruger? I will admit hes a good actor and all but this is probably gonna suck. Robert England is the only Freddy Kruger.

  • Robert's getting too old or something.

  • I think he's just tired of playing Freddy he played him for 8 movies and 46 episodes

  • That, too.

  • he was never asked!

  • no they just never asked him.

  • he said he wasn't going to play freddy ever again several years before this idea came out

  • johnny depp should have been freddy i think

    i think playing jesse in the original played against his chances though

  • how should that work without robert!!??

  • the remake is goona suck ass without rob

  • Yeah Jackie Earle Haley is the new Freddy

  • Rorschach is Freddy.

  • LOL?

  • No Robert=Shitty Nightmare movie. Those are just the facts.

  • billy bob thorton isn't going to be the next freddy krueger its going to be the guy who played roarshack in watchmen

  • i agree compleatly. there is and only will be one Freddy Kruger!!!! well done to you.

  • i love nightmare on elm street and i'll watch the remake, but it isn´t going to be the same.

    ROBERT ENGLUND IS AND WILL EVER BE OUR FREDDY

  • I thougth jackie earle h aley is playing Mr. K now,its been confirmed on Imdb

  • i dont really have a problem with them brining freddy back as long as he's freddy not all comical an shit we need to bring scary movies back like the way they were ya dig

  • good news then.they said themselves that its supposed to be a full on scary movie and Freddy will be terrifying with no comedy to him or witty one liners although some like "Welcome to prime time bitch!" were priceless but o well the new guy may be good as Freddy but never as good as Robert cause like the movie says he was THE bad ass mother fucker.

  • Well i seem to remember people bitching when Heath Ledger was hired to play the joker. Look what happened there? Everyone loved his version. So until you see the knew freddy in the film then stop moaning.

  • 1:20 EEEAAA xD (Piola)

  • Will u people stop bitching.Robert Englund isn't playing Freddy....BIG F'N DEAL get over it. People said that Heath Ledger would be a shit joker and look how that turned out,just give the new guy a chance....M'kay.

  • hey dumbass its Jackie Earle Haley, but its understandable u think this because the rumors were that it was a cast member of bad news bears, but Jackie was in the original as a kid, billy bob was the coach in the remake. ok?

  • i am only going to go see the new nightmare on elm street because i have seen all of them before

  • you are completely right.

    nobody will ever be as good as Robert Englund.

    seriously.

    i refuse to go watch this movie.

  • i don't care so long as the n ew freddy shouts "Welcome to primetime, BITCH!"

  • I don't care so long as the new Freddy says *anything*. What makes Freddy more than a Michael/Jason clone is he has a *personality*.

  • ehh, true.

    still want him to say "welcome to prime time, BITCH"

  • THIS DUDE IS WRONG!!!!! Rorshcach from the watchmen movie is playing FREDDY!

  • technically-he-isn't.

    the-time-he-posted-this

    January 07, 2009

    so-it's-a-little-before-he-was­-casted.

  • OMG '-_- another remake? They just leave the classics alone and create new horror icons... Its really pathetic to see that writers have no inspiration anymore... Obviously the new remake will suck like it did with the Friday the 13th remake. I'm tired of stupid remakes that makes popular movies suck. I Mean, freddy is not even going to be the same.

  • Totaly agree, besides I don't think the new guy'll do him justice!

  • robert englund is not freddy krueger no more

  • Mhm the remake will suck unless they stop Michael Bay from being in charge of it. if you wanna see a hardcore fan remake trailer click on my channel and go to my favorites. i swear on A Nightmare On Elm Street itself that you won't be disappointed

  • the first picture has a blooper his wrist skin is not burnt red

  • AGREE. Robert Englund is the ONLY Freddy. WHY would they replace him? He was JUST as great and energetic in Freddy vs. Jason as he was in 1984. wtf.

  • Comment removed

  • Because this is a fucking remake!

    R-E-M-A-K-E!

    They asked him to play freddy FYI but Robert Englund turned it down, thank God! They can't bring back the same people in the same roles just because the fanboys can't take it. The original films are still there.

  • I noticed they dont ever have the original actors in the remakes, that would be kinda wierd i think? but as far as childs play, i think they should have brad still play the voice.

  • Ok, what the hell is with the music, man?

  • if they make this one then they make others i reckon they probably wont be as good as the others because there will be some one different playing freddy kruger which will be different i wonder how vthe hell are they make this time with different ways

  • if they were to remake it just red that robert wont do it

  • why would robert englund play freddy in the remake? lol man, y'all are some dumbasses, i swear.

  • I know, man... I was saying the same thing. Thats all they complain about that he isn't playing Freddy.

  • Jackie Earle Hailey is Playing Freddy in The Remake Rorschach from WatchMen

  • nice pick if u ask me couse Rorschach is the only thing i like in watchmen

  • great fucking song!!!

  • i always thought it was kinda funny that robert englund is one of the nicest guys you'd ever seen on tv but he plays such an evil character

  • agreed. :D

  • yeah, I first remember seeing him as Willy on the sci fi movie V, about the reptilian aliens lol

  • just to let you know man me and my wife agree robert is the best and shouldve been the only choice to play freddy without his witty comments before he guts you its not the same freddy

  • I never believe rumors until i find out for sure...who ever plays Freddy will still not be as good as Englund but you never know...the movie might still be good so stop being such pricks..and fighting on youtube about it..just fucking wait and see what happens for fuck sake.

  • i kno thats rite FUCK billy bob thorton Robert Englund is the only AND original Freddy

  • If they make the movie remake of Nightmare on Elm Street without Robert Englund as Freddy Krueger...I WILL RIOT!!! =@

  • Jackie Earle Haley is officially the new Freddy! according to New Line

  • i think "The Horror Files" version is better, he actually told the truth, if u watch his vid and dont believe him, visit the website he said to go to!

  • you retard billy bob thorton is not freddy kruger chris johnson is you idiotic maniac.

  • It doesn't matter who could've potentially been Kruger the first time, it's the fact that the role has been played by none-other-than Englund. I just love the true Freddy. And I know it's not a big deal, I was just stating an opinion, because you can do that on here. So you back the fuck off!

  • We just have to respect the fact that Robert does not want to play Freddy anymore. He thinks he's too old for it. Well he has a point people....

    There had to come a time when he had enough of Freddy. We have to respect that. I just hope that they can still create a Freddy we recognise. When I look at Robert I see Freddy. I just hope the new Freddy doesn't have a totally different face. I want to see Freddy...not an other actor trying to look like Freddy.

  • Only Robert Englund can play Freddy. Robert IS Freddy. Now some other wannabe.

  • absolutley

  • eh. i realy think that any change possible would be fantastic. maybe making the freddie movies scary would be a start. as the movie's progress they get worse and worse to the point where freddie is using a power glove?. plur robert wouldnt know how to scare his new modern audience. in my personal opinion freddie had 2 much script and wasnt given enough power in the movies. like how he would fal back at being shot. shouldnt happen. a horror character needs to be all powerful till the end

  • robert brings the fear to the first movie. Dont gewt me wrong thier are a couple things in the original that needed fix like when he streched his arms over the sides

  • robert englund IS freddy. lol.

  • They've already signed the new Freddy. Its the guy who play Rorschah in Watchmen

  • fuck that robert is freddy

  • WE WANT ROBBIE BACK

  • This is gay ... 80's style

  • gay people didn't exist in the 80's. Don't you know your 80's culture trivia?

  • No, there were a few. like that Cream guy that was in San Fran ... no, wait, he was Milk. And that Paul Linde and the guy from Airplane!  Ok, time to do a J

  • if this guy is gonna be freddy then i dont think they should make another movie. i love 80s killers and i think that not only did he play the part but robert englund IS freddy krueger, noone can play it better. as much as i would love to see another of these great movies with my favourite killer i would rather leave freddy as robert.

  • robert englund is done get over it, time for the new!

  • Im not gonna be the only one who is gonna throw a riot because robert englund is not playing freddy haha

  • heard it all before, what i wanted was information...

  • Robert England said on Fangoria radio last year in an interview with Dee Snyder that if there was gonna be a remake that he he would dawn the make up again and the deal was signed two weeks prior with newline cinema.

  • remakes are the only suitable way to get these movies back on track to where they should have ended. Halloween ended ok...but Jason ended with Jason X...and Nightmare ended with Wes Craven's New Nightmare...crap beyond crap as far as movies go. (I dont count FVJ because it wasnt strictly Jason or Freddy) These remakes are making icons like Jason, Freddy and Michael back into what they should be...psychopathic homicidal legends. Finally Jason, Freddy and Michael are not going to be jokes anymore.

  • As long as Freddy vs Jason vs Ash never comes be... but by that time the joke will have turned into something entirely new and amazing.

  • vs ash? who the hell is ash?

  • EVIL DEAD?!? ARMY OF DARKNESS?!? Wow! OK...There was serious talk of Freddy vs Jason vs Ash, supposedly the screenplay was written and no production company has the balls to make it. In case your wondering, by the way, Ash would win. Ash always wins. And you fail.

  • im in that movie they are filming in chi town

  • yeh its official

  • People are dumb they are making a new nightmare on elm street remake but the guy they are targetting as the new Freddy is the guy who has the mask from Watch men. I think War something. He's the one playing the part...

  • Mujestu, the guy from watchmen that you're talking about is called Rorschach (Roar-Shack). He's named after the Rorschach ink blot tests.

  • Please, do not believe every video you see based on subjects like this... while I will agree that Robert England is THE Fred Kruger... I understand why Hollywood is doing things like the are, besides Freddy Kruger is being played by Jackie Earle Haley , most well known as Roarchak from Watchmen, if anyone other than Robert can do Freddy, it's Jackie... I have faith.

  • NOOOO!!! Not Billy Bob, can't stand the man!

  • of course Robert Englund is not going to play in this piece of shit, he's not an idiot. If they shot this film in my school (if i was still in school) i would have changed schools, what a joke.

  • Booooo!

    Coming soon to a theatre near you. A knife in the back of the fans that made Freddy Krueger/Nightmare on elm street and Pinhead/Hellraiser the success it they have been.

    New people playing Freddy and Pinhead after a franchise of 8 movies for each with iconic actors{both alive and kickin and willing} playing the iconic roles.

    Fuck you backstabbing opportunistic pricks!!!

    Hail Robert Englund and Doug Bradley forever.

    Hope these bastard remakes fail miserably!!!

  • im sorry but Robert 'Freddy Krueger' Englund is the one and only person to play Freddy but its understandable that they wont use him becoause of his age and well im not gunna se this movie if robert englund aint in it it just wont be good

  • only ONE freddy - robert

    only ONE nancy - heather

    thats all i gotta say!!!!!!!!!!!!

  • calm down guys.... its not billy bob thorton as Freddy.... its that Rorschach guy.... the guy from Watchmen

  • i am super excited for this movie especially cuz they are shooting it at my school !!!! :)

    a bunch of us get to be extras in it :)

  • really?

  • yea...they started shooting at my school on monday until tomorrow which is the scenes im going to be an extra in :) im super excited its going to be awesome

  • Englund is the real freddy of course. But personally, I'm intersted in seeing how Jackie Earl Haley will do in the ol' hat n' claws. If you've seen Watchmen, you've seen how well he plays nut jobs.

  • i went on imdbcom and it said not robert as freddy AND not HEATHER as nancy puff piece of shit a freddy withou heather and robert its SUCKSASS hell yea

  • of course there is Robert Englund THE ONE TRUE FREDDY

  • Jesus Christ.....Kyle Gallner....and Kellan lutz in the same movie.....xD

  • omg... billy bob thorton! LOL. It still looked better than that friday 13th remake. Good lord that ending sucked.

  • best fucking movie cant wait to see

  • LMAO.

  • its happening it is

  • Kyle Gallner as Quentin (Glen)

    Thomas Dekker as Jesse (Rod)

    Rooney Mara as Nancy

    Kellan Lutz as Dean (Grady, character from part 2)

  • Kellan Lutz is gonna play Glen in the Nightmare remake they must be desperate for stars

  • You buddy, you are damn right.

    Robert Englund is the real Freddy Krueger.
