Kevin Bacon Open To Playing Freddy Krueger

How about Kevin Bacon as Freddy Krueger for a new Nightmare On Elm Street movie?

A fan questioned Kevon Bacon on Twitter about playing Freddy Krueger, with Bacon replying he is open to the idea.

“I like the way you think,” Bacon responded to the fan.

Jackie Earle Haley most recently played Freddy Krueger in the Michael Bay-produced Nightmare On Elm Street reboot, which didn’t take off. 

Robert Englund has always been the fan-favorite choice and played the original Freddy; however, a while back Englund made it clear that he won’t be playing Freddy ever again.

Kevin Bacon might not be a bad choice as Freddy.

Another Nightmare On Elm Street reboot has been said to be underway.

Below you can read the official details that sees the El Rey Network announce a variety of series they have acquired to rerun which also includes Almost Human, Human Target, Mortal Kombat, Freddy’s Nightmares, V and Night Visions.

 

EL REY NETWORK INKS DEAL WITH WARNER BROS. DOMESTIC TELEVISION DISTRIBUTION TO ACQUIRE POPULAR SERIES INCLUDING ‘CONSTANTINE’ AND ‘ALMOST HUMAN’

DEBUTING NOVEMBER 2015, CULT FAVORITES CELEBRATE THEIR BASIC CABLE PREMIERES ON ROBERT RODRIGUEZ’S 24-HOUR CABLE NETWORK

 

 El Rey Network, the 24-hour English-language cable network founded by filmmaker Robert Rodriguez, has finalized an acquisition deal with Warner Bros. Domestic Television Distribution to license the exclusive off-network cable rights for all episodes of the popular series, “Constantine,” and “Almost Human,” which will make their basic cable debuts beginning November 2015. Also under this multi-year agreement, El Rey Network will acquire several additional high-profile properties rolling out in 2015 and 2016. This includes the basic cable premiere of “Human Target,” plus “V: The Series,” “Mortal Kombat: Conquest,” “Freddy’s Nightmares,” “The Twilight Zone,” “V Miniseries” and “Night Visions.”

“We are proud to have these extremely popular titles make their off network cable debuts on El Rey Network,” added Robert Rodriguez, Founder and Chairman, El Rey Network. “This is the kind of distinctive, action packed content that viewers have come to expect on our air and these franchises will be the perfect compliment to our existing line-up of iconic and thrilling originals and acquisitions.” 

Constantine (Airs Tuesdays at 8:00 p.m. ET – 11:00p.m. ET beginning on November 3) 

Based on the wildly popular comic book series “Hellblazer” from DC Comics, seasoned demon hunter and master of the occult John Constantine (Matt Ryan, “Criminal Minds”) is armed with a ferocious knowledge of the dark arts and a wickedly naughty wit. He fights the good fight – or at least he did. With his soul already damned to hell, he’s decided to abandon his campaign against evil until a series of events thrusts him back into the fray, and he’ll do whatever it takes to protect the innocent.

Almost Human (Airs Mondays at 8:00 p.m. ET – 11:00 p.m. ET beginning on November 9) 

In 2048, police officer John Kennex wakes up from a 17-month coma without his girlfriend, his partner – and without one of his legs. While Kennex survived a catastrophic attack on the police department, his partner, relationship and one limb did not. Now outfitted with highly sophisticated synthetic appendage – along with depression, trauma on-set OCD and PTSD – Kennex is persuaded to come back to work by his longtime captain. As all cops are required to work with a robot, Kennex must overcome his aversion to androids and get accustomed to his new partner, a discontinued android with unexpected emotional responses.

Human Target (Premieres in 2016)

The series follows the life of San Francisco-based Christopher Chance (Mark Valley), a unique private contractor, bodyguard and security expert hired to protect his clients. Rather than taking on the target’s identity himself (as in the comic book version), he protects his clients by completely integrating himself into their lives, to become a “human target.”

Mortal Kombat: Conquest (Premieres in 2015)

In a dark and mythical re-telling of classic tale of good versus evil, the TV series “Mortal Kombat: Conquest” follows the fierce warrior Kung Lao and his comrades Taja and Siro on their quest to protect the earth realm from falling under the control of the evil conqueror of realms Shao Kahn, ruler of the Outworld. Vital to the survival of mankind are warriors who can compete in Mortal Kombat. While combatants from Outworld have magic and darkness on their side, fighters from the Earth Realm have only their strength, both physical and mental, and belief that their cause is just and right.

Freddy’s Nightmares (Premieres in 2015)

Based on the Nightmare on Elm Street film series, “Freddy’s Nightmares: A Nightmare on Elm Street the Series” is an anthology show hosted by Freddy Krueger. Krueger sometimes appeared in the episodes, but often he just hosted the strange, “Twilight Zone”-like stories about the residents of Springwood’s nightmares. Episodes consist of two stories, usually with a small character from the first half of the episode becoming the focus of the second half. In an unusual move for an anthology series, many episodes had sequels that documented the further adventures of characters who had appeared in previous episodes.

V Miniseries (Premieres in 2016)

“V” is a two-part science fiction television miniseries, written and directed by Kenneth Johnson. First shown in 1983, it initiated the science fiction franchise concerning aliens known as “The Visitors” trying to gain control of Earth, and of the ways the populace reacts to this.

V: The Series (Premieres in 2016)

A remake of the 1983 miniseries created by Kenneth Johnson, the new series chronicles the arrival on Earth of a technologically advanced alien species which ostensibly comes in peace, but actually has sinister motives. V stars Morena Baccarin, Lourdes Benedicto, Morris Chestnut, Joel Gretsch, Logan Huffman, Charles Mesure, Elizabeth Mitchell, Laura Vandervoort, and Scott Wolf. The Twilight Zone (Premieres in 2016)

This 2002 remake of the classic series, created by Rod Sterling and hosted by Forest Whitaker, presents tales of suspense, fantasy, science fiction and horror.

Night Visions (Premieres in 2016)

“Night Visions” is an anthology series similar to The Twilight Zone – some tales are supernatural, others are just commentaries on twisted human nature. Each hour episode is made up of two half-hour episodes aired back-to-back.

Now Robert Englund Says He Won’t Play Freddy Again

[[wysiwyg_imageupload:22281:]]

Yesterday saw the news go viral that Robert Englund wanted to do a Nightmare On Elm Street Part 9 movie, a Freddy in the hood film, or even Freddy vs. Michael Myers.

Now it’s learned Englund’s words were taken out of context as the actor has posted on Twitter that he won’t be returning to the Freddy role any time soon — if ever again.

“Just for the record, I will NOT be starring as Freddy in any new Nightmare projects, real or fictional,” Englund tweeted.

What Englund actually more or less meant was that if he was going to create another Nightmare On Film Street movie he would do/recommend a Nightmare on Elm Street Part 9, a Freddy in the hood, or Freddy vs Michael Myers film — not star in it.

More than likely what happeend, is that since fans think so highly of Robert Englund as Freddy – and can’t see any other actor playing the role – they ran with the news in hopes that Englud was returning to the role he made iconic.

You can’t blame them, can you?

Robert Englund Would Do Freddy vs Michael Myers; Dream Warriors Returning For Reboot?

[[wysiwyg_imageupload:22265:]]

Update: Robert Englund says he won’t play Freddy again.

 

Last we heard about the Nightmare On Elm Street reboot was a couple months ago with it said the franchise will start over with a fresh new take on Freddy Krueger worthy of the 1984 Wes Craven original.

Now while attending the recent London Comic-Con, originally Freddy, Robert Englund, drops some gossip.

Englund stated he heard Tuesday Knight is wanted for the reboot. Knight is the actress that replaced Patricia Arquette in Nightmare On Elm Street 4: The Dream Master. Arquette’s character, Kristen Parker, was the heroine in Nightmare In Elm Street Part 3: Dream Warriors that had the ability to pull people into her dreams. Together with some of other teens targeted by Freddy, Kristen and her Dream Warriors took on Freddy with the help of Nancy, killing the crispy child killer. Part 4 would eventually see Kristen killed at the hands of Freddy, but not without murmurings of a resurrection.

Is it possible the Freddy reboot will incorporate some of the Dream Warrior storyline? Of course it’s simply possible that Tuesday Knight is wanted for a new role.

Interestingly enough, Robert Englund did say he would do a Nighmare On Elm Street Part 9, a prequel or even a Freddy Vs. Michael Myers movie. Englund also offered up a “Nightmare in the Hood” might be worthwhile.

“Well, I’d like to see ‘Nightmare in the Hood’! I would! I think it’d be really interesting to do a line of, like, retro 80’s hip hop ones and get a black actor to play “Freddy” and all the kids are, like, hip hop. Just do it the same!”

 “You don’t do remakes! I would do ‘Freddy 9’, you know? Or I would do ‘Freddy vs Michael Myers’. Or I would do a prequel.

You can check out the video interviews with Robert Englund here (part 1) and here (part 2).

Nightmare On Elm Street Getting Rebooted Again

[[wysiwyg_imageupload:21629:]]

Five years ago saw the less than well received Nightmare On Elm Street remake from producer Michael Bay, which starred Jackie Earle Haley as Freddy Krueger.

Now it’s learned New Line Cinema is rebooting Nightmare on Elm Street yet again.

Tracking Board reports plot details are slim, but the reboot is said to start over with a fresh new take on Freddy Krueger, and that the studio wants to go back to the drawing board to create a remake worthy of the 1984 Wes Craven original.

It’s said that David Leslie Johnson, known for The Walking Dead, Conjuring 2 and Wrath of the Titans, is writing the script. Johnson was also recently announced to be writing the new Dungeons & Dragons movie for Warner Bros.

The original Nightmare On Elm Street starred Robert Englund, which spawned multiple sequels and even a short-lived TV series.
