Billy Bob Thornton As Freddy Krueger?!

One...two....Billy Bob's coming for you. No. That doesn't have a nice ring to it. Michael Bay is currently working on butchering the classic "Nightmare on Elm Street," and apparently he's signed Billy Bob Thornton to play Freddy Krueger. Billy Bob would make a better Crypt Keeper instead.

What is wrong with Robert Englund? You can't make a "Nightmare" movie without Robert. He IS fucking Freddy. You basically just need him and Heather Langenkamp! Those bitches aren't doing anything. Although, I would rather Heather reprise her role as Marie in the TV remake of "Just the Ten of Us." But that's just me.

I mean, Billy Bob?! I guess he sort of makes sense since his face makes kids eat their own hair, but he's no Robert Englund!

uh, how strongly do you feel about Hitchcock? I only ask because "The Birds" is in production for '09.

As far as Hitchcock goes, this only adds insult to injury--the injury being that Hitchcock never won an Academy Award. I'd be spinning in my grave if I were him.
Michael Bay, I don't know how and I don't know when or where, but you're goin' down! Bitch!

ITA. the remake of The Shining sucked ass. Some characters are just indispensible, Jack Torrance needed to be played by Jack Nicholson, and Pennywise needed to be done by Tim Curry. No other actors will bring to the characters what they did.

I am off to google myself because I swear the only Michael Bay movie I know of is Transformers, and I pretty much creamed my pants for that (although I have been a transformers tool since I was a wee lass) but this NOES madness and the rancor you guys are spewing makes me curious.

Who has seen South Park's Imagination Land trilogy? The best impression of Michael Bay is in that trilogy, when they are trying to find a way to save imaginationland from the terrorists. They bring in Bay for ideas and he's all like, "First we should have this big chase scene and a huge explosion like 'Pwaaaaahhhh!' And then the buildings can explode like 'bwassshhhhhh!" And so on and so forth.
That describes Michael Bay to a T!

They will somehow incorporate a lot of computer and cell phone usage and over the top special effects into the movie. In other words it will suck. I miss the 70's and 80's, those were damn good times.

I've got AT LEAST a dozen half-written scripts in notebooks scattered around my house that would be better ideas than this. Granted, a few are from when I was 12 and feature a heavy unicorn theme, but at least it would be new.

Michael Bay must die! He is the anti-christ, and he's slowly ruining all my childhood memories. The only reason he's remaking all these films is because he can't write/direct a REAL film for shit and needs to substitute substance with blowing up stuff. Loser! He's got some fucking nerve having a successful career as a director. Gah, I'd love to just shove an M-16 up his cornwad asshole and call him a day!

Just...why? Can't they come up with something new instead of alienating established audiences with embarrassing remakes of shit that doesn't need re-done?
***********************************

You know? It's lazy, really. It's the industry being COMPLETELY overrun by business men - they use artists to make things happen but they're not too fond of their input in the creative process, strangely enough.

And then this other thing I notice, being a parent. Whenever I see a kids show they always include some ol has-been from the 80s or 90s and so now my kid knows a whole bunch of stories and songs that I knew as a kid. It's actually kinda cool. Sometimes she likes these really awful remakes and then I show her the real one and she's blown away but it can be hard to attract her to that stuff if she doesn't have something current that catches her eye, naturally.

Just to say something nice today, I guess...

Michael Bay is the worst director of all time, unless you like car chases and over the top explotions with no plot, with a dab of T &A. I am beyond myself they are doing this with Englund still alive to BE Krueger. There are just some roles you do not replicate. I think Bay is also involved in destroying Snake Pliskin, so it is no surprise to me. ____________________________________________
