Angelina Jolie's Ex is the New Freddy Kruger
Filed under: Angelina Jolie > Film Flickers
Hmmm…..inneresting casting!
According to reports, Billy Bob Thornton has been cast as Freddy Krueger for the Nightmare On Elm Street remake.
The original Freddy, Robert Englund, says he thinks Billy Bob is an "excellent choice" and, "A big budget should mean the film will look a lot better than some of the old movies."
What do y'all think?
He freaks us out as a normal person — we think he's perfect for the role!

Re: krazihottkelli/bitchygrl – HEY WHAT'S UP GIRL!
I think he would actually make for a pretty good freddy krueger
woohoooooo!!
Before I would not have gone to see the remake. With this casting choice, I would go see it. Love me some Billy Bob. He's freaky sexy.
No make-up required…:0)Just kidding Billy.:0)
first!
Why does this movie need to be made?
Thet's great news! Thornton is a very talented actor, I'm sure he's gonna do a great job! Can't wait to see this film!
I love me some Billy Bob….I really don't know why but I think he is sexy as hell.
Nice to know that weridos have a purpose on this earth too!!!
1st?
Billy Bob may be an excellent choice, but….I don't see why there has to be a remake. The original is not so outdated, so as to warrant one, in my opinion.
ANOTHER remake? Why can't Hollywood come up with some NEW ideas? If they want to do a horror movie, make up a new one! If you want a musical, make up a new one! I'm so tired of this recycling! What's the point? We've already seen these things!
Can't they come up with anything new?? Seems like all we see and hear are remakes! Isn't anybody creative, anymore? WTH?
why isn't Robert Englund doing it?
Loves billy bob! 1st?
Feddy scared the HELL outta me when I was a kid!! Billy Bob has a lot to live up to! Then theres that song…one two freddy's commin for you!! AHHHHH
Re: jenbug – BECAUSE…..they've ran out of original ideas.
love it! cant wait!
Awesome. He even made Bad Santa a good movie.
HE'S NOT SCAREY ENOUGH
-MAYBE………Christopher Walken HE'S EVIL
um okay. why isn't robert englund doing it??? And why the hell are they even remaking it, in the first place??
C'MON HOLLYWOOD!! Come up with some original ideas!!!
(although, with lack of great ideas for hollywood, indie film makers are in a win-win situation..some food for thought)
i love billy bob, but no one can beat robert E.
still excited for the remake though
Well I think he is perfect…
I once read a quote from Billy Bob on his lovemaking with Angelina Jolie that their sex was so intense sometimes they were afraid they were going to kill each other. Now that's hot.
i think hes gonna be great in the role!
Re: MRS.RICKY MARTIN LOVER –
Ahh I love Walkin but he is just to old anymore….
Robert Englund is and always will be Freddy Kruger. End of story.
I would've preferred another Freddy vs. Jason with Robert Englund as Freddy. Anywho….Maybe this will be a sort of prequel like they did with the most recent Halloween.
NO. they shouldn't have fucked around with the movie. it was PERFECT the way it was. but whatever, they pretty much already killed it with freddy vs. jason. but this whole new remake thing depresses me.
Sweet! Perfect. Now pick some interesting "kids" and not talentless starlets or celebretards for the rest
Re: Andy27 – YOU ARE KING OF FUCKTARDS!
Re: Blindmag – I totally agree.
Yes… and he also fucked your so adorated Santa Angelina! what a disgusting skank!
Perez,
Why would you like skankelina so much?
yay! never liked the guy but at least he's good for something, i can so see him playing freddy kruger
hm .. I can see him doing Freddy , BUT i dont know for sure .. guess i'll have to see him in the role . BUT NOBODY WILL EVER TOP The orginal Freddy !
W O O T!! I LOVE BILLY BOB! I think he would actually do very well as Freddy Kruger! He rocks!
Billy Bob's sexy, Are you crazy? :]
i lovedd Billy Bob and Angelina, i think
Billy Bob's sexier than Brad Pitt -gasp!-
yes remake its gonna b so much betta dan da original ………………hmmm thnk u technology 4 makin it believable
Nightmare is my favorite series from the 80's, and the choice to remake it kills me. This is a horrible idea. It's going to turn out horribly, you all realize this. I think Billy Bob is a horrible choice - there's no way he can remotely recapture the charisma that makes Freddy Krueger such a memorable character.
Thanks for shitting on something else I love, Hollywood.
Hey PPL…. SLINGBLADE!!! NEED I SAY MORE!!! I can see him as Freddy for sure creepy as all hell but yes I believe he can do it….I'll go see it.
billy bob is a PERFECT casting choice for this role!
Ummm Freddy is supposed to be really scary not pedophile scary. They need to bring back Robert Englund.
Somehow you just know this man would be verrrry receptive to the business end of a nice, heavy moosehide flogger.

Poor choice. Lost all credibility in Bad Santa and Bad News Bears. Glad he is in the new Nightmare film as it is going to be a guaranteed flop with his presence in it so wont have to endure any sequels.
Yeah! I love Billy Bob!
