Rorschach Becomes Freddy Krueger

I think it's a waste, frankly. He was great in Little Children and Watchmen (he was a bit of a non-entity in All the King's Men I think). But going on to work in horror? What tripe. People are talking about him like he's gonna be the next Peter Lorre. He must feel like this success is gonna be fleeting, and is taking the jobs he can get.

I don't want to sympathize with a child killer, real or fake.

The really weird thing is Johnny Depp got that role because Haley asked him to come along with him to the auditions. At the time Mister Depp was pursuing a music career.

Soo...what'll be next? Hellraiser 1 reimagined?
I kinda can imagine what goes around in some Hollywood producer's office:
- Hey, let's make another movie!
- K, what about?
- I dunno. We already done three comic book adaptations. Let's try something new, tell me the first thing that comes to your mind.
- Freddy Kreuger.
- That's been already done and I said new...hey, I know! Let's make a "new" remake.
- Brilliant!

Can't they come up with anything original anymore?

I liked the Elm Street series up to the third movie, later it got...meh.
Anyways, I'm not really looking forward to this movie. The 80's version had that specific atmosphere and I can't see a point in doing it "today's way".
