Nightmare on Elm Street Remake

Apparently A Nightmare on Elm Street is being remade. I oftentimes hate remakes and I don't think that this will be any exception. The major issue of course is that Robert Englund will NOT be reprising his role as Freddy Krueger. According to imdb, Robert Knepper will play him. There is another rumor floating around that Jackie Earle Haley will play the iconic villain. Haley did a fine job as Rorschach in The Watchmen so he might be a decent choice. However, it is difficult to envision anyone else as Krueger. But thanks to the Friday the 13th and Halloween remakes, it was only a matter of time. Aren't there any original movies left?
