Do you think they should remake the Nightmare on Elm Street movies? If they did the special effects could be much better and so could the plots, they could change all the stupid deaths and make them disgusting and make sure Freddy doesn't become a comedian and make him just a down-right cold-blooded killer!?
I see no need to remake any of the NOES films. The first two are great horror movies. They could not be made any better. The others aren't really worth remaking. That would be like taking a 20 year old turd and trying to pretty it up.........it's still a turd.
That said.........I have no doubt that the original NOES will be remade one day. If this next Freddy vs Jason movie is the last big screen appearance of Freddy Krueger, New Line will probably remake NOES around 2012-2015. They'll wait a couple of years untill the image of Robert Englund portraying Freddy isn't as fresh in our minds. They'll remake the movie with another actor and update the story (which means ruin it) to fit with the modern lives of teenagers.
yeah, when they cant think of anything new they rehash crap

I think that idea would totally suck , i dont care how old those movies get, because only robert englund can play freddy krueger .... he is the only actor to play him , and will remian the only actor to play him.. it shall be a sad day when he passes away... cause that would then be the end of N.O.E.S
Like any 16 year old kids ten years from now will even know who Robert Englund is...............It will be like it is today with TCM and Dawn of the Dead remakes. You'll have a bunch of little kids running to the theaters.....watching the movie.....not even knowing it's a remake. Oh, you mean there was an old Nightmare on Elm St. movie?

i bet that is the case in very few instances.
I'm willing to bet most of the people who watch the remakes actually watch them because they have seen the original, or in the case of the little kids, they watch the movie, then find out it was a remake and that will then give them a reason to go out and see the original. I think it's a great way for studios to make money, but they ruin the film when they do that.
there is no plausible reason to remake the freddy movies. I mean the first 2 were good horror movies. the rest are just bad horror movies that are accepted and loved because there just fun to sit around and watch with friends. If they were remade they would be even worse than they are. I mean the sparatic momments in the series when there are actually kind of eerie would not make it through on a remake. besides 99% of movie remakes let alone horror remakes are utter garbage, why make 7 movies of utter recycled garbage?

Robert is only in his early 60's, he still has a while left, and I hated the second NOES, I didnt get the ending when he was at the party, how did he manage to get into the real world? and he dissappeared there, he cant to that in the real world and also Jesses g/f goes to the boiler room in the real world and somehow Freddy ends up there, it didn't like it. I can see why you guys don't want them remade, I see your points.
no it should stay the same cas originals are better and yeah i hated # 2 too. WAIT! number 4 could be redone i say get the original cast and instead of tuesday knight BRING BACK PATRICIA ARQUETTE!

Robert Englund is only 54 years old.....he will turn 55 in June.
While making Freddy vs Jason, he said it would be the last time he would play Freddy Krueger....he was too old for it. Since then he has stated that he is willing to play Freddy Krueger one or two more times......that's it. He won't be playing Freddy Krueger into his 60s.
