I've been doing this for a while now and one of the first things I learned is take anything that Robert Englund says with a grain of salt. This guy loves to talk and 9 times out of 10 what he says ends up being, well shall we say questionable.
It seems that the folks over at FEARNET managed to wrangle old Freddy while he is out promoting his new oddly titled project KILLER PAD (still sounds like a Kotex gone bad to me) and the subject of the dream stalker making a return visit to the silver screen popped up. Here is a little of what he had to say. Remember, he's been saying this stuff for years, so....
Recently there has been some buzz online about a new Nightmare on Elm Street film. Have you heard anything about this?
“I don’t know if it’s going to be Nightmare on Elm Street the original remake-which is not a bad idea especially with the success of Texas Chainsaw Massacre and Halloween-and
get some new director to breathe new life into it. I always thought
there was room for a prequel. I would be interested in being in that!
It’s funny because they are all good. Texas Chainsaw Massacre the original was great and the original Halloween was great and some people even think that the original Nightmare on Elm Street is
the best of them all. I don’t know if you’d want to remake it but it
all happens sooner or later. There have been some spin-offs talked
about with Freddy and Jason and Michael Myers which is interesting but
maybe that’s kind of silly. Maybe one was enough. At one time there had
been a prequel to Nightmare on Elm Street. I haven’t read that script but I heard things about it that John McNaughton the director of Henry: Portrait of a Serial Killer might direct it. That was kind of interesting. That’s the one I would be interested in being involved with.”
The Prequel?
“Well yeah because I’d obviously get to do it without the make up.
Even though I’m getting old I’m not getting too old to play Freddy. I
always figured by the time he was all burned and everything I figured
he was in his 40’s anyway. I could pull that off. It’s going to be
interesting to see what they do with it.”
