Billy Bob Krueger: Origin of a Rumor
Source:IF Magazine
August 15, 2008

On Monday, word hit the online press that Billy Bob Thornton was rumored to be carrying on the Freddy Krueger role in the upcoming Nightmare on Elm Street remake.

Mind you, "rumored." From who? None other than Robert Englund who, despite not being attached, somehow had the inside track. I watch this rumor flourish as it made its way to the IMDB and Yahoo! where both sites all but confirmed it based on Englund's knowledge.

Ooookay. But they haven't even started casting yet. Hell, as we've stated before, the producers are not even locked in.

Anyway, this brings us to the question: Where did Englund get this "scoop"? Here, I present to you a sampling from IF Magazine's recent interview with Englund.

"I heard this rumor from a journalist at a press conference during Comic-Con. I think Billy Bob is a terrific actor. I've been a fan since Evening Shade."

So wait-a-sec...the actor heard this from another journalist - who could have been speaking complete out of his ass - at Comic-Con, a virtual hub of information where news could be fabricated on the spot. I'm sorry, for a second there I thought Englund was actually tipped off by someone on the inside, such as a producer or exec.

Not to knock my own kind, but an ill-informed reporter (and I do know he or she is ill-informed) telling an actor a slice of info who in turn regurgitates it to the hungry media is absolutely amusing to me.




a rumour I sure hope so.

I can't wait for this. I'm a huge horror fan and loved the original 'Nightmare on Elm Street' film. That's just horrible that Robert Englund isn't going to return as Freddy, especially since he's been in some really good recent horror films.

Here's an exclusive glimpse of the new Night Mare:

^^^ LoL..it took me like 20 seconds too long to get that

 

[Give-It-2Me]

I hate remakes mainly cause I love cheesy 80's horror as it what I grew up on as a kid. They might make a really good movie but I have no intrest in it because it simply is not A Nightmare On Elm Street. I hope someone in hollywood gets a good idea soon.

 

[JB1986]

Oh God, no. Please no. The original Nightmare On Elm Street is a horror classic. Why mess with it?! And Billy Bob Thornton as Freddy Krueger?! What the fuck?! I'll happily skip this piece of shit.

Great! I must be getting old and loosing it, cause it took me a minute to get that one.

 

[HOT4MEN]

NOoooooo!!! Oh well, I'll meet Robert Englund next week at DragonCon. Yea!

 

[Johnbarrowmansbitch]

The nightmare franchise DOESN'T need a remake. I will be happy with a prequel. Billybob as Freddy?! NO WAY!! If Robert doesnt return, i wont be a happy camper..

 

[Give-It-2Me]

He will not return and there will be no sequal. Deal with it by joining my support group

Well, it had better bloody not be a PG-13.

Freddy was the ultimate don, back in the day!
Jason can fuck right off, I say!

I don't think a remake would be that great to be honest, but if it DID happen, I would go and watch it, that's for sure..

 

[xianchen]

if you think that remaking Nightmare on Elm Street if F'd up... Just wait, because I heard that they are talking about remaking another classic, just a different genre, My Fair Lady. Next thing you know they'll be remaking Gone with the Wind. Has Hollywood ran out of fresh ideas that they are just trying to recycle the old ones by updating the special effects and modernizing some of the storyline. I mean c'mon...get those brains some energy and start writing some good shit. The Saw and Hostel movies were the best things in Horror to come out recently.
As for other genres the storylines have gotten so weak and are filled with once again recycled jokes or Jackass type humor. Boring!

Sorry had to add my two and a half cents!
