Hell the man still alive and he did great in the last movie.You can not replace the man who basicaly created freddy krueger. Replacing Rob is like replacing the man that play's Victor Newman on the young and the restless.THAT'S STRAIGHT BULLSHIT I WILL NOT GO SEE THE FUCKING MOVIE AND I HOPE OTHERS FOLLOW AND FEEL THE SAME PLEASE PLEASE SPREAD THE WORD!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!It just bring tears to my eyes that someone thought of tthis and to you rob if dont want to whats the hell matter with you think of the old and the new fans we love you I think thats a disrespect to me and the rest of the fans if robert englund couldn’t or didn’t wont to play the part of freedy krueger.Then the idea of making the remake should be scraped and not thought of again.

The moment I heard a remake was on the way, I was sold on Foster for the role! I think in a revamped version that stays fairly devoted to the original, Foster would compliment the picture extremely well in the antagonistic role! The question is who the hell is gonna play Pinhead in the remake Hellraiser?! Or is that even still slated to release?! I agree wholeheartedly with Derek on Ben Foster being Freddy Krueger.

Billy bob thorton however is 6'4" and is also an exceptional actor who can truely make him the epitomy of evil wes intended the character to be. this is perfect just the way craven originally intended. krueger was supposed to be an evil horrific character and robert englund who was fantastic as krueger, brought out more of a charismatic and cynical boogeyman, and standing at only 5 foot 9 he wasnt fit to be the evil menacing type craven originally wrote freddy to be.

We need a personality behind Freddy-- that's what Englund brought. Probably too much personality in a few of the films, actually. Renner is pretty good, but might be a bit too beefy for Freddy.

Not only does he have a slight, resemblance of England, he is also a very talented actor. His performance in Dahmer, as Dahmer, was wonderful. Although it is a flawed movie, i think what holds Dahmer together is Renner's tortured portrayal. He's my first choice and maybe my only choice. Billy Bob might be a little to silly. But who knows?
