ive heard billy bob thornton is up for the role of Freddy kruger but that could be just a rumor

I wonder what´s freddy gonna look like? Are they gonna use rubbermask or are they gonna do it with CGI…kinda like TwoFace?

Guy who directed Smells like teen spirit is an interesting choice for a Teen Slasher movie. Smells like teen spirit indeed!

billy bob was on conan a while ago and said that he heard the freddy rumors going around but they were just rumors.

Only Robert Englund should play Freddy, period. He made the character; that is that.
With Jason or Michael Myers, it really doesn't matter because there just men walking around with a costume on, showing no emotion, acting really creepy (not that such a role requires no talent, but a face isn't needed).

Robert Englund does random movies all the time; do a little negotiating and he will come back.
And really, can't it just be a sequel? Jason and Halloween was one thing, but again Freddy is a face, and that same face doing something that he did beforehand will not fit or work correctly.

I really don't get the point of remaking hellraiser either, unless they want to make it a direct adaptation of the book it was based on, a hellbound heart (which elements were different, and some plot elements were used in Hellraiser: Bloodline and a little in hellraiser: Inferno as well). Why not make it Hellraiser: Razor (not worse than Hellseeker, Hellworld, etc) or something like that? It doesn't have to have a number.
Try something different. It worked for Indiana Jones, Rambo, and especially Rocky when everybody hated Rocky 5. So why not ressurect the series with a respectable movie to live up to even the first 4 (if your a fan of hellraiser and have ignored the direct-to-dvd sequels that aren't so good, watch hellraiser: Deader. It goes back to the routes in some ways and offers something fresh as well).
