 What is going on guys welcome back to the channel critical over here since I'm on nightmare in Elm Street in this video here today I'm talking about these comments Jason Blum recently made Talking about getting Robert England back to play Freddy Krueger and this dream project They have in mind or this dream project of that. I'll just say is really what it all it is right at this point a dream project No pun intended So we all know Robert England is Freddy Krueger Freddy Krueger is Robert England Everybody would love to see the man back in the role I would love to see him back in the role, but the honest question now at this point is What else can he even? Can he deliver? I think he can deliver as Freddy Krueger But is it going to be done in something that I think you would be satisfied with think of all the Limitations that are here now and all the different things that would have to come into play to get Robert back into the mix because Robert is in his 70s. I think he's 75 at this point You know Jason Blum had these comments to make when he was talking to screen rant. He said that He said that he could get it. He could get Robert England to come back. I could get I could get anyone to come back I mean Ellen Burston was 87. I got her back in the upcoming sequel to the Exorcist 75 he's young when he was saying in reference to Robert England Robert England again I have no doubt in my mind that if he were to be brought in this Freddy Krueger He would deliver a solid performance once again. It's just of course It's not going to be in the same vein as what we have gotten from him in the past He hasn't played Freddy Krueger the Freddy Krueger that we are used to seeing since Freddy versus Jason in 2003 he had that little stint on the Goldbergs. I think what he wore the makeup and everything that was all fine and dandy He's always going to be able to do a great job. I think as Freddy Krueger is just not going to be done in the same Stupendous tremendous vein. We've gotten all those other times because he is up in age You should pass the baton over to someone else. I've even I don't think I've actually talked about it in the video But I'd be mistaken I'd love to see him back in the role But there's so many limitations now and things that I'm I just don't want to see them do Now that I'm now thinking about it That pertain to how they would get him back in the role because for the most part What I'm seeing or picturing is someone who's not Robert Doing the role and then them somehow I guess doing some CGI to put his face on his body or something like that You know, we don't we don't need that just let someone else play the role altogether If you're not gonna let Robert do it all the way because you're aware of the limitations that now exist From Robert because he's in his 70s. You're not gonna be able to get the same things you want out of him Sure, you could have someone else's body Present on screen and use Robert's voice sure you can do that and maybe some people won't even mind that maybe you can make it work From the simple fact of course you keep Freddy shrouded in darkness and keep him in the shadows You won't see him too much and then when we need to see him, of course, we would see Robert's face But it'd be very zoomed in shots Obviously then telling a lot of your educated audience that that's not Robert when the camera isn't zoomed in like that It's just now Robert now because you have the camera zoomed in and you want the face to be the face of Freddy that everyone is accustomed to See it's like no if Robert can't be his goofy self in the role and Strike fear in my heart in the role and be Freddy all the way through and through 100% No other things needed then Robert doesn't need to be Freddy Krueger anymore Robert England as Freddy Krueger is always going to be one of the most iconic portrayals in any horror franchise He did such a great job with the character even despite the quality going down With each sequel I would say after the third one You still have a man who was so dedicated to that role He was the heart and soul of all those movies even while everything else around him is complete trash Robert England always showed up. He always delivered and he always Sparked the conversation. He had a lot of people scared He still has a lot of people discovering these movies and being scared and just in all of what he's able to do with the character The character is so iconic not because of only who created the character But because of who created the character and the person that they decided to pick to bring the character to life Robert England and Freddy Krueger are always going to be one of the biggest blessings to the horror genre But as it stands right now, it is time for us to have someone else in the role I of course selfishly would always prefer it to be Robert England But there are limitations that I know he has given that he is up in age These are limitations that they would flat out make of make abundantly clear on screen I feel like if they were to even try to do a movie with him in the role in some capacity You could always do a movie in which You have them sharing the role of course like a James Jue Courtney Nick Castle scenario Where again, maybe you could have a few shots where you see Freddy's face up close and you just show us Robert But then the majority of the movie is it's not Robert It's someone else and Freddy is shrouded in darkness. It probably be best though to not use Robert's voice That's the thing it probably be best to just commit to someone else a hundred percent and have Robert's brief cameo Be just that a brief cameo where we see close-up shots of whoever is playing the new Freddy and Whenever it comes time to show Freddy's face you can show us Robert in the makeup And of course those of us who know Robert's face know those know those structures will pinpoint that okay That's the original Freddy Cougar actor back in the makeup. That's a nice little nod to him But of course throughout the whole movie You're not gonna have Robert England running around Doing all these things that he was doing when Freddy first came out in the 80s He's just not I don't want to I don't want this man to be doing all this stuff just to satisfy me I'd rather us find someone who was up to the task can do it a hundred percent through and through and Can give us a memorable Freddy Cougar performance a new iteration that would make Robert England proud It would make what's craving proud make the craving estate proud and make any new horror fan That has recently discovered Robert England and what he did with that character in those movies Make them proud to to now see somebody else take up the mantle and do such a good job That you're not concerned about Robert England not returning anymore because I think that with Robert England the biggest thing now Is that a lot of people I would say for the most part were just completely dissatisfied with what they got in the 2010 remake and even now I would admit that the biggest detractor there isn't even the performance as much as it is Okay, how the how Freddy looks That's it outside of that if you can nail the look Then a performance is really going to be something that comes down to finding the right person But if the look is off then of course people are not going to really pay too much attention to that performance And I think that's really what hurt that remake It was mostly the look because the performance now that I think about it and now that I continue to rewatch the movie When I do it's not a bad performance. I just think Robert's time is coming gone and I love him to death I just think it's time to find a new Freddy Cougar But let me know what you think about Jason Blum's comments down in the comment section below if you haven't already Subscribe turn on post notification and miss video in the description.
