A Nightmare on Elm Street : Who are your casting choices for Freddy

Who are your casting choices for Freddy

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

Dwayne "The Rock" Johnson

Robert Patterson
James Gandolfini
John Bernthal
Paul Walker
Russel Crowe
John Goodman if he lost a few pounds

Re: Who are your casting choices for Freddy

This may be an extremely out of left field choice, but how about Chris Pratt?

It would be super intriguing to see him go dark. Plus he can easily throw in the beloved Freddy funniness as well.

Re: Who are your casting choices for Freddy

Robert Englund was 37 when he first played Freddy Krueger. Jackie was 49. I feel like for having a first appearance Jackie was too old to do it for the long haul. We need someone in the 35-40 range roughly. Also the actor can't be a star that draws too much income per movie. That's the problem with playing Freddy Krueger as opposed to Jason Voorhees or Michael Myers. The cost of bringing him back for sequels will only increase, and we need an actual actor.

All of that being said, the actor I'd like to see them cast is Patrick Wison. I think he'd be excellent, and he's not new to the genre by any means.

I can picture Billy Bob Thorton as Freddy.
