My Cast For A Modern Day Freddy's Dead: The Final Nightmare

This topic has been on my mind since the 2010 remake of the original A Nightmare on Elm Street came out, due to all of those rumors circulating from around that time of a sequel to said remake, which would combine Freddy's Revenge and Dream Warriors together...somehow? Anyway, I got to thinking about a potential Freddy's Dead remake, and what that would look like/who the potential cast would be for such a thing.

For this casting list, I will:

Not be trying to rewrite the characters I'm casting. For example, I'm not going to say that Spencer's genderfluid/gay/has ADHD because those are things that I headcanon him to have, and they're not brought up in the canon of the original movie.

Not be rewriting the plot of Freddy's Dead. That is not the point of this post at all, and also that is at least an AU fic on AO3's worth of writing, and I'm already trying to plan that out.

Make my choices based on an actor's visual resemblance to the original characters mostly. If there are other resemblances, such as personality or vocal, I will point those out too.

Not be including any cameo characters (ie. Alice Cooper as Mr. Underwood or Roseanne and Tom Arnold as that crazy Springwood couple) because there are too many, they are insignificant, and we'd be here for a while. I also will not be recasting Freddy himself, as I have an attachment to Robert Englund's Freddy.

THESE CHOICES ARE PURELY MY OPINION! If you don't agree with my decisions, or if you actually have another actor/actress for the character I list, feel free to leave them in the replies.

Okay, with all the disclaimers and explanations out of the way, let's start things off here with the main four teenagers. So that's John Doe, Carlos Rodriguez, Spencer Lewis and Tracy Swan.

John Doe - Joe Keery

Starting off with the blank slate fake protagonist character probably wasn't a good idea, but here we go. Totally didn't have same problem as I did with Tracy /s. I actually had Jake T. Austin in this slot last night, but after sleeping on it, and doing the other three teenagers, I changed my mind and decided to look at other options. Looking at those other options led me to Joe Keery, specifically when he played Steve Harrington in Stranger Things.

Freddy's Dead's John Doe really isn't out of Joe Keery's wheelhouse when you think about it. He played Steve Harrington, a teenager who fought the modern day equivalent to Freddy Krueger, and John Doe died by the actual character of Freddy Krueger. The physical resemblance between them is clearly there, Joe's hair is a little longer, and he has a slightly smaller face shape, but that's about the only differences I can see. John Doe and Steve also deal with people not believing them when referring to supernatural happenings that are currently occurring/literal fucking demons wrecking havoc on a town they're from. Also John is canonically the oldest teenager in the movie, being 18 years old, and Steve was 19 during Stranger Things season 4. So Joe Keery is no stranger to playing characters younger than he is in real life.

Carlos Rodriguez - Omar Rudberg

Do I even need to explain? LOOK AT THIS PHYSICAL RESEMBLANCE! THEY ARE THE EXACT SAME PERSON???? IT'S SO UNCANNY!!

When I first saw Omar Rudberg in Young Royals pictures and gifs, I literally only saw a modern version of Carlos. Then I discovered this picture of him in this outfit on Pinterest, and I remembered this outfit Carlos wore in the beginning of Freddy's Dead, and it only solidified my brain's decision for me.

Here's a bonus pic of Omar in a hoodie that's very similar in hue to the one Carlos wears for the rest of the movie :)

Speaking of Young Royals...

Spencer Lewis - Edvin Ryding

Y'all I had such a hard time with Spencer. There was almost no one that looked like Spencer in the modern age, which is surprising given that long hair on guys is still a fairly popular trend, but I finally decided to give this imaginary recasted role to Edvin Ryding. While Edvin may not look exactly like a young Breckin Meyer, he still has that essence of Spencer's general appearance, in my opinion. Also, Edvin has already partially played Spencer's character type in Young Royals as Prince Wilhelm. By character type, I mean someone of an affluent background struggling with being themselves and rebelling against the traditions, standards, and or expectations set by those before them. Also Omar Rudberg is Carlos in this imaginary recasting, so Edvin being here also just seems right for that reason.

Tracy Swan - Hunter Schafer

Ah Tracy...Tracy, Tracy Tracy. You were a challenge too, but for the opposite reason of Spencer. While Spencer had almost no one that looked even remotely like him, you had WAY TOO MANY options for me to pick from, I essentially went from a drought to a flood. Anyways, I chose Hunter Schafer for the role of Tracy mainly for her appearance, plus Jules Vaughn looks like a girl who can whoop an ass despite looking like a twig. Also, Hunter just has that natural look on her face that screams "I don't give a flying fuck about what you're saying, leave me the fuck alone."

Moving on to the two main adult figures in the movie, beyond the kids' parents and Freddy because I already said I'm not including them here, Dr. Maggie Burnham and Doc (why the hell did they not give him a real name????)

Dr. Maggie Burnham - Winona Ryder

I have no other justification for this than physical resemblance. I mean, this could also be my brain processing voices weirdly, but Lisa Zane and Winona Ryder sound extremely similar to each other. Winona Ryder was also a 90's staple actress, so I felt like it would be appropriate for a remake/recasting for an early 90's movie to include her. She's already playing a motherly/authoritarian role to a bunch of kids that aren't hers in Stranger Things, too, so that checks out. No, including her and Joe Keery in the same list was not intentional.

Doc - Eamonn Walker

(I used this pic of Eamonn because almost every time we see Doc he's in the gym training with Tracy.)

I already knew this one was going to be difficult, as no one can truly replace the great Yaphet Kotto. However, for this recasting I had to, so for Doc I chose Eamonn Walker! For those who don't recognize Eamonn, he plays Chief Boden on Chicago Fire. I only know who he is because my mother is obsessed with the Chicago trilogy of shows. I will make the note that Eamonn and Yaphet once again sound very similar to me.

So there's my modern day recasting of the main six characters of Freddy's Dead: The Final Nightmare! Like I said, I wasn't going to include Freddy himself, or any of the cameo characters. We would have been here forever if I were to do that, and this recasting alone took me two days to do, so yeah.

((Since I'm a masochist if you want to know who I'd cast as the kids' parents in the modern day, lmk))

Age 13: The Springwood Orphanage

Plain and simple: Springwood's orphanage was so small that it did not get the upkeep needed. Usually, the handful of kids that stayed there also went out to foster homes, so there was only about four kids there at a time. So, the lice problem was not addressed as quickly as it should've been, and one of the four was absolutely infested.

But, on clouds there are silver linings, which Kasey was reminded of. They had to get rid of this problem one way or another, and one was much more effective and less costly than certain shampoos and waiting it out.

"What'cha thinking we should go for, K?" Naomi, the oldest of the kids asked, taking a handful of dark brown locks into her pale and dainty hand. K was about all Kasey was willing to go by publicly. Naomi and Austin both knew that he was Kasey, but under the ever watchful eyes of those who ran the home, calling Kasey anything other than Katherine could spell trouble. So, K as a "nickname" had to do.

"He'd look cool with hair like Tom Cruise in Outsiders," Austin chimed in, giving a bit of a dreamy sigh at the apparent mental image he'd given himself.

Kasey gave a huff. "A but less Tom Cruise, a bit more Rob Lowe, okay?" He tried to fight the urge to scratch at his head. "But just cut it off and get them out first."

And that's what Naomi did, shearing off seven inches of brown waves in one go. The younger of the two boys quickly struck a match, dropping it into the bucket with the now discarded ponytail. The smell of burnt hair filled the room, but Kasey hardly cared. Tomorrow, they'd all say that the lice were too unbearable and the three of them decided to resort to cutting and burning the hair like men fighting in trenches in a world war. And maybe that was part of it. But the bigger part was Naomi taking the scissors back to cut away even more, slowly chipping away until Kasey would have one less thing to worry about.

And that morning, when the matron had said "you look like a boy" as a critique, Kasey couldn't help but smile.

Clearwater University’s current graduates, part 2

Aren’t they all just so pretty? :3 The second half of graduates this round are 4 playables and 2 townies, from top to bottom...:

> Christopher Flynn > Justine Lawson >  Arlen Hawkins > Austin Springwood > Nectarine Nivell > Raisin Nivell

Congratulations, my babies! <3

[vimpse]

Party time! Logan ages up into a child. ^_^

[vimpse]

It’s Logan’s birthday, so it’s time to invite the family to a birthday party! Guests in attendance are Molly’s parents Winston and Rose, plus uncles Preston, Austin and Jordan. :)

[vimpse]

As usual with four-student-households, their adventures warrant two posts, featuring more struggles with skilling, school work and romance. I’m not sure what exactly Arlen did to make Raisin fall out of love with her(!), but they rekindle their love by their senior year, so all is well.

Meanwhile, Nectarine and Austin waste no time on their commitments <3

[vimpse]

Last but (literally) not least (because well... they were the biggest student household this rotation): Nectarine and Raisin Nivell  Austin Springwood,  and Arlen Hawkins :) Twinsies off to university! Well, twinsies and their partners anyway. Somehow all of them (and Arlen, since she’s a townie) seemed to have... basically no skill points from their younger years...? So there is certainly enough of that going on. Plus, I mean, with four students and a short uni mod, playing them was a handful to organize everybody.

Austin is another heir-to-be, so things are gonna get real interesting in the main ‘hood when they graduate at the end of the next rotation.

[vimpse]

Lets roll.

[vimpse]

Nectarine keeps up her friendship with her intended, Austin Springwood, through the phone (since he already left for university).

[vimpse]

The round ends with Austin quietly leaving for university. :)

[vimpse]

A relaxing (lonely?) afternoon.

[vimpse]

Austin will be off to university soon, so he’s doing some last minute cramming.
