Jackie Earle Haley is the New Freddy Krueger www.comingsoon.net/news/movienews.php?id=54220Jackie Earle Haley (Watchmen) will play the new Freddy Krueger in New Line Cinema's A Nightmare on Elm Street, scheduled for an April 16, 2010 release. The role was originally played by Robert Englund.
Samuel Bayer is directing the relaunch, which was written by Wesley Strick. The movie starts filming on May 5 in Chicago.
The Haunting in Connecticut star Kyle Gallner has been cast as Quentin in the film as well.
Platinum Dunes' Andrew Form and Brad Fuller are producing. John Rickard is co-producing.
"Looking at his performance in 'Watchmen,' here’s a guy playing a character under a mask yet you feel tremendous empathy for him," Bayer told The Hollywood Reporter. "And in 'Nightmare,' he is going to be under prosthetic make-up. You have to feel something for the character. The greatest villains are multi-dimensional and I think he will bring that to the character."
Bayer called this take of Krueger "Nosferatu meets Ed Gaines."Why are they remaking this series... I ask you? Not only is it not old enough to warant remaking, but "A Nightmare On Elm Street" was a truly scary movie, and does not need to be redone. Once again, I think Hollywood is out of ideas in many cases and are just spinning out of control. Boo.... hiss... Ken

Ken I totally agree with you on this. How can anyone replace Robert Englund, that is just insane...the guy is still alive and kicking. Don't fix what is not broke Hollywood!

What's wrong with Jackie Earle Haley? He did a great job as Rorschach. And besides maybe Englund did not want to do it.

I'm gonna hold off complaining until they decide to redo the Exorcist. then it's time for some whining extreme.

Seen the new trailer for the new "Nightmare" movie. I am still holding out on judgeing the new movie....however it looks like it may have some potential. They seem to have re shot a few of the original scenes..i.e. the bathtub scene with Nancy and Tina's death scene. Even though I agree that it is too soon to make a remake of it, I can't wait to see this new version of Freddy!!
