Billy Bob Thornton Signs On To Become New Freddy Krueger

Billy Bob Thornton has reportedly signed on to become Freddy Krueger in a new “Nightmare On Elm Street” movie.

According to ShowBizSpy, Robert Englund, the original actor to play the character in the first eight films, is the one to let the cat out the bag, quoted as saying that Thornton is an “excellent choice” for the role.

He adds, “A big budget should mean the film will look a lot better than some of the old movies.”

Billy Bob Thornton On Angelina Jolie: She’ll Be Back

According to Angelina Jolie’s ex-husband, Billy Bob Thornton, Mrs. Pitt is going through a “high school phase” by dating Brad.

At the launch of his new album, The Boxmasters, the 52-year-old actor/wannabe rocker insisted that Jolie will “wake up” soon, but he might not be there when she does.

“She is just going through a high school phase. You know, dating the quarterback of the football team with Brad Pitt over there,” he said. “She’ll be waking up from that dream in no time.

“Who knows if I’ll be there when she’s ready to come to her senses though,” Thornton continued.

Billy Bob married Jolie back in 2000 after meeting on the set of “Pushing Tin.” Three years after, the pair divorced, claiming they had both changed and “had nothing in common.”

These days, Jolie has built a rather large family with Brad Pitt. So we’re sorry Billy, but we don’t think she’s coming back.
