Well, we do know why - they've said as much: They wanted to do a "reboot and re-envisioning" (God I love buzzwords!!!). That includes a new face of freddy, a new style. I have a feeling it will be like the "new" GTO - a hunk of hyped, steaming shit.
Englund spoke about it as well, although you have to wonder how much of it is him being humble. He was pretty blunt, saying he's over 60 years old now, and he can't give the role the energy he used to. It has to be aggravating to see your most well known role go to someone else, regardless.
With a role like Jason, this really isn't as much of an issue. He has no real personality, & he doesn't speak. All you have to be is tall
Oh & that's another issue I had with this remake - the kills lacked a sense of style! Hang the girl in the sleeping bag over the fire so she burned? Yawn. The Jason I knew would have beat her against the tree until that bag and her head popped like a pimple.
