Billy Bob Thorton is taking on the role in the new film. Interesting choice.

i really can't stand Billy Bob Thorton, only movie i've liked of his so far was the one where he and his crew were growing marijuana. they so got burned at the end of it, lol.

[sgt.bludhound]

all these remakes never live up to the original........always worth seeing though

This could be cool, I mean he's been in a few great films, I totally bought his performance in slingblade.

[Griff]

yeah i can see freddy now...(says like thorton from sling blade) I' didnt mean ta hurt no body. dear christ. i tolerated the remake of halloween. This is just too much. ceeerrhhhrrriisstt

[jaxscorpio]

Wasn't he the drunk old coot in Bad Santa?

[Griff]

yeah. i mean i can see him doin a role like bad santa or something but NOT freddy kruger. there are much better actors out there more suited to the role than him. Man hollywood is just basterdizing everything these days. first gi joe now freddy. anyone have the four horsemen of the apocalypse on speed dial? :>

People said similar things when Heath Ledger was cast as the Joker and I remember more than one Brokeback Mountain joke about the "batcave," but anyway...

Billy Bob is a talented character actor who can disappear into his roles. This might be interesting.

Robert Englund is full of BS.

He always says what he thinks as if they were facts.

This rumor is NOT true, and has no basis in reality

Was Marlon Wayans busy or something?

Doesn't sound right to me. I thought the whole point of not wanting to cast England again was because he is too "old", and they wanted to go with someone younger. That isn't the case with Billy Bob, so if they were to cast BBT then they should just put England back in the film. Plus I don't know if you guys know this or not, but when Wes Craven originally wrote the nightmare on elm street, the guy that was supposed to play Freddy was actually around 60-70 years old. When it was time to cast an actor, knowbody in that age bracket could perform the part well enough, but even though England was younger, he showed the enthusiasm for the role.

billy bob is the man, but seeing him as freddy krueger is just weird and i dont se it be very good. why doesnt robert englund just do it?
