BILLY BOB THORNTON will star as FREDDY KRUEGER in a new NIGHTMARE ON ELM STREET movie.
The 53-year-old actor will take on the chilling role in a remake of the 1984 original.

Billy Bob Thornton to Star in 'Nightmare On Elm Street' Remake
WTF Please!.... can we not do this My God it's going to be like the first remake of the Hulk and we know how well that little gem came out... freddy's dead. let him be.
I think Billy Bob is the
I think Billy Bob is the perfect choice for that role. He would be a great addition to the remake of that classic movie. Billy's persona alone should make for a very interesting "Freddie Kruger". I can't wait !
REMAKE
i THINK THIS MOVIE WILL BE COOL AS HELL!!! lET FREDDY LIVE ON!!!!!!!!!!
An actor to replace Englund?
has anyone seen this guy? an unknown (non SAG) look alike who is trying to get noticed. Neat try though, hes got the look anyway.
I saw his video on youtube, its called "ELM ST: DECISION 08"
WTF Do you mean?
What to you mean.. "Have you seen this guy?" Do you not know who Billy Bob Thorton is? Do you pay attention to movies? Is your parents basement that dark that you don't know an Oscar nominated actor may portray Freddy? Trying to get noticed?!! I don't think Billy Bob needs to "be noticed". You flippin' douche bag, go back to playing Magic or World of Warcraft and keep dreaming about girls that you will never be with.
Depp bedscene
wonder if Depp will do a cameo .. Id love to see him dragged down into that bed, but enough of my fantasies and back to the freddy remake .. lol
Bit of a stretch...
If Billy's arms are long enough to do the alley scene, then he's got my vote.
there will only be one Nightmare on Elm Street
Let it be we don't need any remakes, the original was the best and it will remain the best and only Robert Englund can play Freddy. and that being said Freddy is Dead!!
just a rumour!!!
it is just a rumor!!! I was in disbelief at first then I sadly believed it...the script isn't even finished..no one has been cast to play freddy...nor should anyone unless it is Robert!!!!
Not interested in remakes
I will see this is Billy Bob does play the role. But I for one am sick of remakes... I need Hollywood to stop doing this crap and start adding to the series like they did with Silence of the Lambs. Give more back story, continue on where the story left off, add a new character that is a copy cat... I don't know, something other than remake. No one is original anymore.
