Only if he bothered to do the character's Southern accent.
Also, I understand they give him some bullshit "doing it for my kid" motivation in this, so… that's just not Floyd Lawton, man, don't care WHO plays him.

I've always thought The Bookworm was the only original TV villain that could be dropped right into the comics as is and fit in. (Roddy McDowell later playing The Mad Hatter on BTAS almost feels like a confirmation of this.) Egghead and King Tut are much beloved of course, but that's mostly due to the performers.

Well, Freddy was burned to death by the parents.
If they'd drowned him, we might have a waterlogged-looking Freddy, I suppose.

Rob Bottin has talked about an earlier plan for FREDDY VS JASON that was basically them making a bet to see who could kill the most teenagers. He said it would have basically been as many crazy kill-scenes as they could get away with, followed by the big showdown itself.

At the time of his death, Craven was tentatively planning a remake of his own film SHOCKER, having decided that he'd botched the original by making it too jokey and blatantly trying to ape Freddy.

Yeah, it gains a lot of it's impact from the fact that Freddy's already an icon.

The red and green stripes on his sweater were chosen because those are the specific shades used in color blindness tests. (The intended disorienting effect was lost under the moody lighting used in the film, but it's a good example of how much thought Craven put into it)

SUPER KILMISTER BROS

oh, SNAP!

Your move, Crackle.

And he MUST have been happier with the wardrobe.

True. It seems to be picking up a little cult now, but it underperformed at the BO.
Still, if the DC movies crash (and if BVS goes down, it'll take the follow-ups with it), Warners might be looking for something cheaper with growth potential.

I thought of him as the guy Sterling Archer was aspiring to be.

I'd settle for a FUNNY attempt a comedy.
Although obviously, Richard Pryor isn't as funny as he used to be.

Q: "Hey, what did Superman do to that chick in the Ferrari?"

I'm betting Henry Cavill kind of shares that opinion.
I mean, maybe not, because the money's good, but I can't imagine he wouldn't rather be making sequels to MAN FROM U.N.C.L.E. than this thuggish tripe.

Yeah, I'm not going to tolerate THAT, either.

I just won't tolerate it.

Funny; I'd think someone calling himself "Soylent Green" might have more…. PRACTICAL uses for the corpse?

Actually, he has a history with the Muppets going back to Jim Henson days.
