Glad Fraddy is getting a movie...I was in like highs school when the last film came out, lol

The biggest thing here is the writing/direction, but after that it's obviously who they cast as Freddy.

I feel like I'm in the minority that thinks Jackie Earle Haley was dealt an awful hand in the 2010 remake - I've always thought he did really well in the role. But everything else around him was garbage lol

He's a solid actor and I agree his bad cat mask and dialogue was the issue and I'd for sure give him another chance

I think they'd want to go with a younger actor at this point with the hopes they could reboot the series as a whole - but who knows! Jackie Earle Haley is 65 now lol

I've been screaming Kevin Bacon since Englund himself said he'd like to see him do it, but he is also 68

Slashfilm is out here swingin' for the fences and i freakin' love it.
