Billy Bob Thornton will star as Freddy Krueger in a new Nightmare On Elm Street movie.
The 53-year-old actor will take on the chilling role in a remake of the 1984 original.
Robert Englund, who played the part in eight films, revealed that Thornton will star in the horror films and is an "excellent choice" for the role.
Interesting. I didn't think the studios would recast Freddy, but after hearing the news I think it is an excellent choice as well. Now they need to keep Freddy bad ass and not turn him into Mr. Liner again. We all know only Arnold can pull that off...well, in everything except Batman and Robin.
