  3. At first I was like... HELL NO

    But thinking about it...
    The Freddy Kruegar prequel is meant to be him BEFORE the demons and the dreams
    Thornton has experience with immersing himself in demented and scary characters
    So maybe he could pull it off

    I dunno

    The jury is still out for me on this one.

    1. @cGt2099 I'm with you on this. But I am not sure if this is a prequel or a remake of the first one. It will be hard to watch a non Robert Englund Freddy But if any one could pull it of it would be Billy Bob. The only other actor I would want to see give it a shot would be Crispin Glover. That dude is for real crazy.

  4. his news of Billy Bob makes me sad. I also think Tobin Bell would have been a good pick, as would keeping Englund, if this movie MUST be remad.

  5. Billy Bob Thornton covered in melted cheese...ok. Speaking about Billy Bob. When he was a boy, I wonder if he looked like Hillary Swank in "Boys Don't Cry"? I have a feeling that he did.

  6. I guess it's a good replacement but Robert Englund was the best.
