News > 1, 2, Freddy's Coming Again?

Source IESB:

   When was the last time you sat down and thought to yourself how badly the world needs another Freddy Kruger movie? If you answered today, then you're in luck. IESB got an email they are more or less accepting as truth (or as "truthiness" as Colbert would put it) that says we can expect to see our favorite clawed child-predator back on the silver screen sometime next year.

   Quote, "The studio is trying to get a new "Freddy" film up for a late 2007 start. It probably won't be the much-rumored "prequel" film, but either a new "Freddy Vs…" movie or another 'solo' adventure for Freddy - with one treatment in particular, floating around, getting quite a lot of buzz; its simply about the new young couple (hence, young CW-esque stars get to headline) who buy into their first home together… yep, you guessed it… THAT house.

   The other option is a new "Freddy Vs. Michael" movie. There's a lot of red-tape to get through there. John Carpenter is trying to help sort it out. This film seems to be the most popular option on the table at the moment, so if they can get it up, they will. My money is on this one, too ."    

   Oh good God. Freddy vs. Michael? Wouldn't it just be easier for John Carpenter to take a giant turd and mail each a bit of it to every one of his fans rather than selling out his character to make a quick buck? 

   Look for Freddy to pop up slicing some poor soul and hopefully NOT duking it out with Michael Myers sometime, I dunno, Halloween 2008 maybe?

I think they should use Robert England, If there going to make another freddy movie. Even if it is someone else moveing into freddy's old stomping grounds, Or even Freddy Vs. Micheal myers. That would be cool. But if they don't use Robert England and want a younger face on the screen, I personally won't watch it. I think alot of other people will feel the same way. There is only one Freddy Krueger. That person is Robert England.

I agree. though i'd much rather see a prequel, pre-death. sort of a story of his beginning.

It just wont be the same without Robert Englund, though..
