Jackie Earle Haley set to be the new Freddy Kreuger
I’m not the biggest fan of the Nightmare on Elm Street series of movies. So, when New Line released the news they were going to remake the original film, I really didn’t think much about it.
However, now that the news that Jackie Earle Haley is going to take over as the nightmare boogeyman Freddy Kreuger, I might be a little more interested.
Haley’s performance as the hooded Rorshach in the epic Watchmen was nothing short of Oscar worthy. He stole the entire movie when his character was in the scene. I am hoping (really wondering) that he could do that with Freddy Kreuger.
Set to begin filming next week, the reboot of Nightmare on Elm Street is scheduled for a 2010 release.
