Simple the franchise went on with too many horrible ideas and they destroyed the original creepy image of freddy. This film is set to go old school and keep him silent and even more brutal. He should never have become a punchline and a joke, they ruined him and Platinum Dunes is going to fix that.

umm....but the first one is PERFECT as it is. They aren't remaking any of the sequels. They're remaking the first. None of Freddy's creepiness is lost as a result of the sequels. They dont tarnish the original at all. How much more silent and brutal can he be before he becomes a caricature of himself? Instead of saying what you said, why dont you just tell the truth: Hollywood is completely out of fresh ideas when it comes to horror movies.

Because long ago I took the blue pill, and no matter how many reds you eat doesn't mean I have to live in your world.

Might be old news, but this is news to me. Great casting. Even if the reboot is uncalled for, at least their headed in the right direction it seems.
