Meet Freddy Krueger 2.0?

Billy Bob Thornton can pretty much play anything in my book, so I wasn’t surprised, nor upset, that he might be taking over the Freddy Krueger role. Robert Englund is the Freddy we all know and love, but word on the street is that he won’t be taking on the role in the planned Nightmare on Elm Street remake. Robert announced the news last week while promoting another movie on local radio show ‘Loveline’. Actually, he didn’t announce – he simply stated that he “heard a rumor” that Billy Bob would be taking over the Freddy role. There has been no confirmation from Billy Bob nor the producers of the remake, so for now this is all a rumor. Still, I would love to see Billy Bob do his take on Krueger. Angelina’s ex is a pretty darn good actor, after all.
