    Elm Street remake - the new Freddy?

    http://uk.news.yahoo.com/4/20090406/...e-ea4616c.html

    Hmmm...

    ANOES is cool and all, but I'm not that fussed about the franchise in general - #1 and #3 are really the only ones worth bothering with.

    Now, Friday 13th on the other hand, that's a slasher franchise and a half.

    Good casting decision, I say. I think Haley is good for it. Never was a big fan of the series, though.

    Huge fan of the series. As much as I don't want to see it remade, he's probably a good choice to play Kreuger; that dude played a really creepy role in Little Children and, of course, he ruled as Kelly in the Bad News Bears movies.

    Now THAT is the best casting news I've heard in a LOOOOONNNNG time. He was TOTALLY 100& badass as Rorschach in "Watchman". I was blown away by his performance & immediately wondering what he would be in next & hoping he would be able to ride the wave, so to speak, on to other projects.

    Great, great, news. Gives me so much more hope than that goddamn Billy Bob Thorton rumor did (*ugh*)...

    Holy shit...I didn't know that was Kelly!!! So a child star successfully summoned the pathos to portray Rorschach? Now it all makes sense.

    Meh. Don't care, really. Doubt I'll ever see it, I have no desire to watch anymore middle of the road horror remakes. Continuity = good, therefore remakes = bad.

    you didn't know that? My Ass was biting a hole in my seat when I heard the news that Haley was picked as Rorschach!! I was sooo worried. . then I saw Little Children and became less worried. It's weird, this guy just plain disappeared after the BNB. . and then all of a sudden we have this really really capable actor showing up out of nowhere. It's good stuff.

    As far as FK is concerned. . Haley is a good pick for that role methinks.

    No, I just thought he was some dude with a name that sounded like someone who would try and assassinate a president or go on some mass shooting-spree.

    I mean, come on...if Jackie Earl Haley doesn't sound like some dude destined to clime to the top of a clock tower and start plinking people, then I'm totally mystified. Tell me I'm wrong there, if you can

    Very good point and no argument from me, either that or a serial killer.

    So, I guess the question on everyone's mind is: What part is Tatum O'neal going to play?

    The world watches and waits with baited breath....

    I'll not see this unless the DJ Jazzy Jeff and the Fresh Prince opus, "Nightmare on My Street" is a part of the score.
