Just like the dude a few posts below said: It's not true, and they want a younger actor. Englund was much younger when he did the originals. I love billy bob but, why would an established actor want to do this and also, you didn't know Englund at the time that's what made those initial movies somewhat scary. If you want it to be campy have Thornton do it, if you want to regain some of the "horror" of the first movie, anyway choose an unknown actor or go with a younger not-as-well-known actor, IMO.
....that being said don't "dis" Englund. He played Freddy AWESOME in Freddy vs. Jason. I wish he'd continue to play Freddy in one more of the 'Freddy vs. Jason' films and they could still go on with their "re imagining"
