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.

Robert Englund, who played the part in eight films, revealed that Thornton will star in the horror films and is an "excellent choice" for the role.

He adds, "A big budget should mean the film will look a lot better than some of the old movies."

I really can't see anyone but Robert Englund as Freddy.  But then I think I said the same of the Joker.  We'll see

Billy Bob Thornton will play him as creepy sarcastic loser - basically every role he's played on screen in the last decade.

Wow....fucking terrible.

Is a reboot of this franchise really fucking necessary right now? Usually I'm not one to jump on the anti-remake train, but this is just dumb.

the Platinum Dunes remake of The Hitcher was tremendously shitty, hell, even inept.  I have no hope for anything that has Micheal Bay's name attached to it.

Yeah, who would have guessed Jack Nicholson could match Romero's portrayal.

So in other words, he's going to win awards for his "performance"?
