Last I heard (which was quite a while ago), they were going for a prequel. But.... didn't they pretty much cover what happened in all of the Nightmare on Elm Street movies? Why do we need a movie showing this? Lack of imagination. Prequel or remake... I think they are dumb ideas. I, too, think there is only ONE Freddy.
And Hollywood keeps churning out these bad ideas because people keep going to see them.

Subject: [billjohnsononline] A Nightmare on Elm Street Remake
I'm sure by now everyone has heard that A Nightmare on Elm Street is being remade and Jackie Earl Haley is playing the role of Freddy Krueger. I'm curious to hear everyone's take on this; as I have heard some people saying that they are curious to see how he will take on the role and others saying that this is the worst thing ever. I, of course, feel there is only ONE Freddy Krueger. Supposidly, the story this time is that Freddy is falsely accused of molesting a child and is killed by the parents.
Honestly, that kills the whole idea of Freddy being scary and dirty. I hate movies that try to make you feel remorse for a killer. It tones down the frightening aspect of the character and creates a film that is no longer a horror movie. I don't want a movie where you feel sorry for Freddy; I want a movie where you fear him. That's why I'll always stick with the original and avoid this piece of garbage.
