When I first heard that Wes Craven would be redoing A Nightmare on Elm Street, I was thinking, "NO, NO, NO, NOOOOO!" My biggest reason being that only Robert Englund can play Freddy. ROBERT ENGLUND IS FREDDY! And NOES is an epic classic and cannot be redone. But then again, there are plenty more successful remakes out there.
Okay, I admit. I may have been a little closed minded, but you know what? My mind has been opened. Just look at the fucking cast!
Jackie Earle Haley, Kyle Gallner, Katie Cassidy, Thomas Dekker, Kellan Lutz, and even Clancy Brown (aka the voice of Mr. Krabs). MEGA EPIC CAST!!! I have faith in this cast and crew. I think they might be able to pull it off.
My only complaint so far is Freddy's voice. It's not the right voice. He needs to talk slower and let his voice be gravely and maybe have a little hiss in it and send tingles down your spine every time he speaks.
