Nightmare on Elm Street May Have It’s Freddy Krueger

**UPDATE**


Variety has confirmed LatinoReview’s rumor that Watchmen star
Jackie Earle Haley has officially been cast as Freddy Krueger.


**endUPDATE**

Rumors are flying all over the “blog-o-sphere” today about the potential casting of Jackie Earle Haley as the notorious Freddy Krueger (made infamous by Robert Englund) in the upcoming Platinum Dunes remake of Nightmare On Elm Street.  Of course, you all know Jackie Earle Haley as Rorschach of Watchmen.  He also is well known for his role in Little Children. Mostly, though, Jackie Earle Haley was a well known child actor in the 3 Bad News Bears movies.

I haven’t really cared much for the idea of the Nightmare On Elm Street remake. The original is a classic and one of my favorite horror flicks of all time. That said, I enjoyed the Texas Chain Saw Massacre remake and even parts of the Friday the 13th remake for what they were.

That said, this gets me pretty excited for a re-imagining of Nightmare On Elm Street. This is all still in the rumor-mille, I’ll keep you posted.  But this has AWESOME written all over it if the rumor is true.
