- It is going to be rated R. People all of sudden think that this will save the movie and make it great. It'll still blow for all the reasons previously stated.
- Jakie Earle Haley will play Freddy Krueger in the new Nightmare on Elm Street remake. Jakie Earle Haley is an Oscar-nominated actor who did great work in Little Children, and most recently Watchmen (as Rorschach). You might also know him as Kelly from The Bad News Bears (1976). I think he'll be great. He throws himself into his roles and he is an effective actor. In Little Children he played a convicted child molester living with his mother in a neighborhood where his presence was greatly resented. He did a fantastic job and interestingly enough, Freddy Krueger was a child molester before the Elm Street parents burned him alive turning him into the dream stalking slasher we know him as in the many films. Who knew Jackie's Oscar-nominated role would be training him to be the replacement for Robert Englund?
The new Nightmare on Elm Street might have an awesome Freddy, but it might still suck. Time will tell.

Ah, but who can replace a young Johnny Depp getting sucked into a bed?
Yeah, It will probably suck. They can't possibly make it complete enough unless it's about six hours long. I do like Jackie Earl Haley and can see him as a good Freddy Krueger--well, as "good" as Freddy can get.
