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.”

    • Apple MacBook Neo is a blessing for Windows users, here's why

      By +samw61 · Posted

      But the reality is it will work for people's needs, and they don't care about the technology that makes it. Clearly not everyone's needs, but that low end space where personal laptops were only used to type emails, watch content and browse websites, but they didn't want to do that on a small screen device. Heck, writing that out I can now see the connection and reason it'll do so well. Apple is about experience. If the experience is bad, they don't release it. Low end Windows laptop manufacturers up until this point have not taken that into consideration ever before, so slow laggy usage with brittle slimey plastic shells were common. I hope that the low end space at least creates better physical products that last a bit longer, and if Microsoft get their act together, they could also have a solid OS on such low end hardware that would actually make the experience work for what the hardware was intended for. The fact that the CPU is a "cellphone", sorry mobile phone processor is irrelevant. It's about the experience, and so far, that sounds quite solid.

      Hello, Bonjour is Apple's implementation of a multicast-DNS service, which allows devices running Apple's software and/or hardware to find each other on your local network.  I believe the Windows version was last updated around 2010. If you do not need it, you can stop and disable the Bonjour service in the Services Control Manager (filename: SERVICES.MSC).  Once you have done that, the operating system will no longer attempt to load the service.

    • This AMD RX 9070 16GB GPU that performs close to Nvidia 5070 is under $600

      This AMD RX 9070 16GB GPU that performs close to Nvidia 5070 is under $600 by Sayan Sen With the memory shortage that's prevalent nowadays, discounts are super-hard to get. As such we post good deals whenever they pop up. Recently, we covered a few great discounts on SSDs wherein you can get a 4TB TeamGroup NVMe PCIe Gen4 drive for just $400 thanks to a special coupon. If you want a faster product but don't need all that capacity, you can also opt for Samsung's 990 PRO 2TB that is on sale for its lowest price in over three months. Let's say though that you are on the hunt for a 1440p gaming card. In that case AMD's RX 9070 non-XT can help, and with its 16GB VRAM, you can also run AI models locally without worrying about bottlenecking (check out our recent 9070 GRE reviews for gaming and productivity to get an idea). The PowerColor Reaper variant of the RX 9070 is currently on sale for just $580 which is a very good price in the current state of affairs (purchase link under the specs table down below). The Reaper cooler on this 9070 uses a triple‑fan design with ring‑blade fans, paired with premium dual ball bearings to extend lifespan and reduce friction. "Intelligent" fan control allows the fans to remain idle at lower temperatures, only spinning up when the GPU is under load. A nickel‑plated copper base makes direct contact with both the GPU and memory modules, helping to spread heat evenly. PowerColor also applies Honeywell PTM7950 phase‑change thermal interface material (TIM), which fills microscopic gaps between the die and heatsink for more efficient thermal transfer. The fan shroud is shorter in height as the firm has made it such that it can be used in certain SFF (small form factor) cases. The technical specifications of the Reaper RX 9070 are given in the table below: Specification Value Stream Processors 3584 Units Video Memory 16GB GDDR6 Memory Speed 20.0 Gbps Memory Interface 256-bit Engine Clock Game Clock: up to 2070 MHz Boost Clock: up to 2520 MHz Bus Standard PCI Express 5.0 x16 Display Connectors 1 x HDMI 2.1b, 3 x DisplayPort 2.1a Maximum Resolution DisplayPort: 7680 × 4320 HDMI: 7680 × 4320 Board Dimensions 289mm × 111mm × 41mm 304mm × 127mm × 42mm (with bracket) Slot 2 Minimum System Power Requirement 600W Power Connectors Two 8-pin PCI Express Get the PowerColor Reaper RX 9070 at the links below (you get only a 90-day warranty on Woot): PowerColor Reaper Radeon RX 9070 16GB Graphics Card (RX9070 16G-A): $579.99 (Sold and Shipped by Amazon US) (Was: $700) PowerColor Reaper Radeon RX 9070 16GB Graphics Card (RX9070 16G-A): $559.99 (Sold and Shipped by Woot US) Good to know This Amazon deal is U.S. specific, and not available in other regions unless specified.

      Are they marketed as an entry into astronomy or astrophotography? I do astrophotography. With big rigs, lots of computers, cables and headaches. I love it. And by learning this ridiculously complex hobby, I’ve learned about the objects I’m shooting. Astronomy followed from photography.
    • Microsoft confirms Recycle Bin bug across all versions of Windows

      By Usama Jawad96 · Posted

      Microsoft confirms Recycle Bin bug across all versions of Windows by Usama Jawad A couple of days ago, we reported that the latest Patch Tuesday update has seemingly resulted in a lot of issues for many users, including OneDrive and Dropbox access problems, BitLocker recovery lockouts, and BSODs. Although Microsoft is yet to acknowledge these bugs, it has confirmed another, relatively smaller issue across all supported versions of Windows. In an update on its Windows Release Health Dashboard, Microsoft has confirmed that after installing June's Patch Tuesday update (KB5094126), you'll experience unexpected behavior when leveraging Recycle Bin. Basically, when you attempt to delete an item from the Recycle Bin, the confirm dialog will show you the internal file name of that content rather than the actual name. For example, the file may be named abc.png, but the confirm dialog will ask if you're sure that you want to permanently delete $Rxxxxx.png from the Recycle Bin. This is pretty much it for the scope of the bug itself; it just displays the wrong name in the confirm dialog. The correct name will be shown in the list view of the Recycle Bin and if you restore the file, it will return with the correct name as well. This issue affects pretty much all supported versions of Windows client and server, including: Client: Windows 11, version 26H1; Windows 11, version 25H2; Windows 11, version 24H2; Windows 11, version 23H2; Windows 10, version 22H2; Windows 10 Enterprise LTSC 2021; Windows 10 Enterprise LTSC 2019; Windows 10 Enterprise LTSB 2016 Server: Windows Server 2025; Windows Server 2022; Windows Server 2019; Windows Server 2016; Windows Server 2012 R2; Windows Server 2012 As things currently stand, Microsoft is working on a concrete solution that will be released in a "future" Windows update. It remains to be seen if the firm will wait till the next Patch Tuesday or roll out an out-of-band (OOB) fix. The good news is that commercial customers can deploy a workaround right now, but they will have to reach out to Microsoft Support for Business for additional details.
