2009 Remake for friday the 13th.

In a manner of speaking, yes. They've run out of originality.

Did you hear about the last house on the left remake?

I was watching Conan the other night with Billy Bob Thornton as a guest star and the remake was addressed and Thornton said he was not going to be playing Freddy Krueger.

Why would they do that? Thornton is only a few years younger than Robert Englund. Wasn't the point of this to freshen the franchise?

The way Thornton made it out on the show it seemed he was neither offered nor interested in the role. He said it was just a rumor started when Robert Englund being interviewed for a different show said Thornton would be his choice if someone were to replace him.

I don't understand why they're bothering to remake Elm Street or Friday the 13th, what ever happened to the sequel? I saw an interview by one of the actors in the Friday the 13th remake and he described it as "raw and real," and you know what that means.
