They tried it once and it didn't go over well. Is that because of who played the part or does no one ever want to see anyone other than Englund?
I just recently watched A New Nightmare and think if they ever remade it that would be a good source to draw from. "Freddy" is very It/Pennywise in that. I love the different take.

Maybe they could try Fiona Dourif. She does insane quite well.

I think the fact that it was a remake was enough reason to not go over well with fans. It was pretty much evident that Englund wouldn't reprise the role.
Indeed it is difficult to picture anyone else in the part and Englund doesn't even want to return atm, but that won't stop them from doing another one without him anyway.

In 2010 they picked the exact right replacement, Jackie Earle Haley, but put him under an inch of makeup that hid his ability to emote and act. The movie wasn't that great either.

I don't remember hating it, but it wasn't great. Agreed. It was pretty generic, but I remember liking his performance.
I think Kevin Bacon could pull it off. Willem Dafoe even better.

Actors of that caliber don't do Freddy Krueger although I'd love to see Dafoe's version. |

He was in Beauty Shop for Christ's sake:
I think Dafoe would be fantastic. Agreed. Krueger, Joker - he just does crazy and evil well and I can see him pulling this off with ease.
