I think he means even in a cameo Englund would add SO much to the movie. And I agree actually. They have to squeeze him in someplace. He IS Freddy, forever.

EXACTLY.. I mean come on.. I grew up watching Englund as Krueger, it's going to be weird seeing someone place play such an iconic role..

Well, the kid from Bad News Bears certainly grew up to be a weird ass looking guy, so sure he can play Freddy! lol

And god, did I love Englund in New Nightmare. He was soooo spooky (as both Demon Freddy and himself).

"Hey Dillion, ever play....skin the cat?" lol awesome. Then he proceeds to kill that poor babysitter chick. Awwww the kid got sad. Then ran across a freeway with one of the best scenes ever (and the most awesome music ever) for a Nightmare scene lol

Way to be an *******.

Sorry, but if he will be in this movie as a cameo then his performance doesn't matter at all.

A good script and a good director makes the movie, not so much for the actors. Countless of times we have seen mediocre actors doing timeless performances because the director's handling.

Another point: Krueger's character was a mix between makeup, special effects, lighting effects and sound editing, not so much because Englund's acting. Since Jackie Earle Haley is ten times the actor Englung never was I'm sure that if the script is decent and the special effects and make up departments are efficient this new Freddy will be just as good if not a lot better.

What other *BIG* thing did Robert Englund do? He seem to be happy to play in low-quality low-budget movies, that's all.

The only other place I remember Englung was in "V".... My god, I feel old just now....

Teaser Details!

We're reporting live from the San Diego Comic Con where Warner Bros. Pictures just showed the first ever footage from New Line Cinema and Platinum Dunes' reboot of A Nightmare on Elm Street, which now arrives in theaters April 30, 2010. We're gonna pop up the Q+A when it shows up online, but until then, read on for the footage description.

The clip opens in an exterior shot of an old abandoned factory where Freddy Krueger (as a man) is being chased by a mob to the building. Clancy Brown's character lights a bottle with fire, Freddy yells, "What do you think I did?"

He gets lit up, lights on fire, runs outside screaming.

Cut to the twins, one with a slash in her clothes.

Shot of Freddy's hat.

Back to twins jump roping.

Close-up of Freddy's glove scratching steel.

Freddy's hat agan on a box, silence, Freddy's eyes appear behind them.

They show the girl in a blood body bag in the school.

Close-up of scratchhhhhhh, sparks.

Rooney Mara (Nancy) is in the boiler room. It's dark Freddy is there, walking towards her.

Flashes begin, we see all sorts of imagery ranging from Tina floating to the ceiling, slashes and then LOGO. Bam.

"Ready or not, here I come." - Jackie Earle Hely as your new Freddy Krueger.

Scrrrrratttcchhhhh....

[bloody disgusting]

That sounds amazing!

The few things I was hoping they kept from the original are Tina's death and Glen's death. Hopefully they'll be based on how they looked in the original before they got cut to shreds.

For anyone who doesn't know, Tina's death was originally A LOT more bloody and Glen came OUT of the bed after the blood shot up through it. You can find a small snippet of Glen coming out of the bed on YouTube I think and I don't think Wes Craven was able to shoot Tina's death they way he original thought of it. He described it as a large bubble of blood forming between Tina and the bed as she's on the ceiling and that's what she fell into as she drops from the ceiling. The MPAA whined about the amount of blood and this is why there's such a quick cut from her falling onto the bed and the shot of Rod getting blood splattered on his face.

The only part that got on my nerves about Tina's death is when Freddy first cuts her stomach and she reaches for it, you can see the stomach appliance :laugh: . That and when Freddy jumps out from behind the tree and his glove is on his left hand. Still surprised how many people never notice that :laugh:

Here are some other details that were revealed about the film during the panel:

>Despite the glimpse of how Freddy got his scars in the footage we were shown, the makers of the film emphasized, “This certainly isn’t an origin story. We’re creating our own mythology based on Wes Craven’s story. There’s a little bit of it, but I wouldn’t say we’re bogged down in it.”

>Robert Englund is NOT going to make a cameo in this film, although he does support it.

>One member from the audience remarked that there is a great deal of nudity and weed in these producers’ movies, and asked how much to expect in this film. The response? “This movie has the smallest amount of weed of all of our movies, but there is a little bit of it in there. We try to take a look at what’s important to our story, and we try to maintain a few of those elements, like weed”

>There was a sequence in the footage we were shown that looked like the bedroom scene in the original Nightmare on Elm Street. Despite some similarities, this will not be a remake. According to one of the producers, “I think [Director Samuel Bayer] wanted to tell a different story. Things will be familiar, but I don’t think people will feel like it’s the same story at all.”

>Andrew Clement designed the new Freddy. According to Jackie Earle Haley, “I always felt like if I tried to go out in the world wearing the make-up [without the costume]…I think people would have thought it was real. I think it’s scarier, I think it’s more disconcerting and alarming.”
