Nightmare on Elm Street - Teaser Poster and photo of Freddy

Here is the first look at Jackie Earle Harley as Freddy Krueger via /film and the poster via First Showing.

The look is not too different from the original and I like the photo of Freddy. What do you think of the new look?

Jackie Earle Haley is Krueger for a Trilogy

Jackie Earle Haley has told Bloody-Disgusting that he's signed on to return for more striped jumper mayhem as dream master Freddy Krueger.

"Two more," prompting us to confirm, "So, three total?" Haley smiles, displaying three fingers, "yeah.".

Rooney Mara (Nancy Thompson) is signed on for one more trip to Elm Street. Warner Bros. Pictures and New Line Cinema will release the remake in theaters 16th April 2010.

Jackie Earle Haley teases us with Freddy Krueger's glove

Rorscach himself is playing Freddy Krueger in the new Nightmare on Elm Street film. I posted a photo of him in a striped top pre-burns and now he posted this photon on Twitter.

The film is currently filming in Chicago and I think this may be the most we get to see of Freddy for the moment.

A Nightmare on Elm Street - First look at Jackie Earle Haley as Freddy

Yes that is Jackie Earle Haley as Freddy Krueger before the scarring and glove. It appears to be part of the origin scene of the character.

The scene apparently featured Freddy playing hide and seek with the kids in the playground as they stole his hat and gloves. Every now and again, he'd pick up a gardening tool with his right hand and chase the kids around.

JoBlo had this and a few other exclusive photos.

Warner Bros.' New Line Cinema has hired veteran screenwriter Wesley Strick to pen the relaunch of the A Nightmare on Elm Street series.

The original Nightmare on Elm Street was written and directed by Wes Craven and released in 1984. The new project will keep the high school setting and delve deeper in the psychology of nightmares and Freddy Krueger himself.

A Nightmare on Elm Street is due out on 16th April 2010.

One of Freddy Krueger's victims has been cast

Kyle Gallner (The Haunting in Connecticut, Jennifer's Body, Bart Allen in Smallville) has signed on for the male lead teen in New Line's relaunch of A Nightmare on Elm Street.

According to Variety, Jackie Earle Haley already is cast as slasher Freddy Krueger in the pic being directed by Samuel Bayer and produced by Platinum Dunes. Michael Bay, Andrew Form and Brad Fuller are producing.

Gallner will play Quentin, an indie-style guy who runs the high school's podcast, "Insomnia Radio." He is part of the group of teens that falls prey to Krueger, haunting the dreams of those that lived on the street where he was murdered.

Gallner's approximate role in the original 1984 film was played by Johnny Depp.

Jackie Earle Haley could definitely maybe play Freddy Kreuger

Bloody Disgusting have confirmed today that Oscar nominated actor Jackie Earle Haley is indeed the frontrunner for the role of the villain Freddy Krueger. This casting scoop was first reported by Latino Review in February, but only recently re-confirmed by BD. They say we'll see an official announcement as early as next week.

Additionally, BD is reporting that The Haunting In Connecticut star Kyle Gallner is in final talks to play Quentin, the lead character in the reboot and the very same character that Johnny Depp played in the original.

He was great as Rorschach and I do feel he will be a nasty piece of work as Freddy.

Do you think Haley is the best choice to play Freddy?

A Nightmare on Elm Street - Fan Made remake trailer

This is not produced by the Platinum Dunes' People.

It is a concept piece created by Christopher Johnson IV (and crew) for his agent Robert Depp at the Beverly Hecht Agency to demonstrate his passion and take for a 21st Century Freddy Krueger.

Depp is working to land an audition for Johnson with the Platinum Dunes camp and their casting people for the roll of Freddy.

Not too shabby. What are your thoughts on this?

Billy Bob Thornton as Freddy Kreueger

We've heard about the prospective Nightmare on Elm Street remake / reboot for quite a while, but there hasn't been any real progress. However, now that New Line has moved in under Warner Brothers, apparently the studio has gained some new interest in bringing Freddy Krueger back. Just like Jason and the new Friday the 13th, which is also now a Warner Brothers movie, Michael Bay's Platinum Dunes is the company that's hoping to restart the franchise. Ex-Freddy Robert Englund has been out promoting the release of Jack Brooks: Monster Slayer on radio stations and mentioned to a few of them that he's heard the rumor that Billy Bob Thornton might play the new Freddy. He was on KROQ in Los Angeles last week, now a JoBlo listener says they heard it on Loveline as well.
