It will not be a straight remake, but a relaunch, which means the writers will incorporate their own ideas to start the story from the beginning, like Batman Begins.

My guess is it will start with Freddy as a child killer hunted down by the parents and burned alive, then it will get into the dream element.

I just can't see any other actor but Englund playing Freddy.
