Ho do you think should be cast in the next Nightmare remake? I would honestly consider these guys:
Kevin Bacon, which practically everyone is a yes for
Neil Patrick Harris, yeah you heard that right, he has the lanky build, resembles Robert Englund, he can be creepy, witty, has the showmanship and also the range
Bryan Cranston, let's just face it, he can do anything, enough said.
I wonder though more than anything who should play Nancy. Rooney was absolutely awful and one of the biggest reasons why the remake was so weak -

First name that came to mind: Bryan Cranston.
But thinking about it, the best one would probably be Gary Oldman. Though, getting someone of his stature, for a reboot of a reboot of an 80s horror franchiseprobably so far fetched it's not worth entertaining the thought. -

I would chose Robert Englund.
I agree!! I HATED the remake. NOBODY can be Freddy Krueger in my opinion, other than Robert Englund. The voice, the laugh, the EVERYTHING!! The New Freddy did not scare me AT ALL. His voice and laugh were so bad. Robert Englund is scarier, creepier even when he is guest starring on other shows.. it's the voice, I swear. (He was in "Charmed", "Bones", "Criminal Minds" (I just saw his CM episode again, and he was creepy sounding in that too! LOL)
