V Makes Freddy Krueger Feel Old!

Legendary actor Robert Englund has admitted that the remake of V makes him “feel pretty old”.

The actor played an alien named Willie in the original two miniseries and short-lived TV show during the 1980s on which the update is based.

He also starred as coolest bad guy ever Freddy Krueger in the Nightmare On Elm Street franchise, which is currently being remade as well.

“My two biggest hits are being remade so there’s kind of a perfect storm right now,”

- he told TV Guide.

He added that he is keen to make a cameo on the sci-fi program and that he liked the “new translation” of the show’s villainess, saying:

“The alien press secretary – the equivalent of Diana – that’s a great concept… I like her look.”

In other ‘V’ news, you can now view an 8 minute premiere of the forthcoming series on YouTube – complete with cool spaceship and character set ups.  We posted it on the front page the other day so if you want to see it, do some digging folks…

Anyway, looks pretty cool to me still, whatever the creativity problems.
