"Well
yeah because I'd obviously get to do it without the make up. Even
though I'm getting old I'm not getting too old to play Freddy. I always
figured by the time he was all burned and everything I figured he was
in his 40's anyway. I could pull that off. It's going to be interesting
to see what they do with it."
Freddy himself Robert Englund has revealed that would prefer to see a prequel to A NIGHTMARE ON ELM STREET rather than another sequel or indeed remake, which has been rumoured online over the past few months. He spoke to Fear.net while he was promoting his new movie KILLER PAD. Here's a snippet.
"I
don't know if it's going to be Nightmare on Elm Street the original
remake-which is not a bad idea especially with the success of Texas
Chainsaw Massacre and Halloween-and get some new director to breathe
new life into it. I always thought there was room for a prequel. I
would be interested in being in that! It's funny because they are all
good. Texas Chainsaw Massacre the original was great and the original
Halloween was great and some people even think that the original
Nightmare on Elm Street is the best of them all. I don't know if you'd
want to remake it but it all happens sooner or later. There have been
some spin-offs talked about with Freddy and Jason and Michael Myers
which is interesting but maybe that's kind of silly. Maybe one was
enough. At one time there had been a prequel to Nightmare on Elm
Street. I haven't read that script but I heard things about it that
John McNaughton the director of Henry: Portrait of a Serial Killer
might direct it. That was kind of interesting. That's the one I would
be interested in being involved with."
The Prequel?
Recently there has been some buzz online about a new Nightmare on Elm Street film. Have you heard anything about this?
