Burger King Goes Horror With New Late Night Ads

Category : Pictures

In order to advertise Burger King’s late night hours, the company hired Dubai based ad agency Tonic to come up with some print ads.  I’m very pleased they went the Horror route and used some key Horror Icons for some pretty entertaining ads.  (Although there are a couple glaring mistakes with a certain villan’s clawed hand, see if you can point it out.)

A Nightmare on Elm Street Remake Poster

With the release of the first official picture of Jackie Earle Haley as Freddy Krueger in 2010′s remake of A Nightmare on Elm Street, I’ve been hoping for a full on Freddy pic.

None yet.  But I did find this badass poster.

First Image of Jackie Earle Haley as Freddy Krueger!

When I heard that Academy Award Winner Jackie Earle Haley (Little Children, Watchmen) was putting on the striped sweater, hat and claws to play the iconic Freddy Krueger, I was pretty excited.  I think he’s the only actor that can pull off this role made iconic by Robert Englund.

Anyway, here’s the first glimpse of Jackie Earle Haley as Freddy from the Platinum Dunes remake of A Nightmare on Elm Street.  If you were disappointed by the campiness of the Friday the 13th remake (I actually dug it), prepare for a serious, non glossy and scary Nightmare on Elm Street.  I’m hearing some great things so far through the rumor-mille.  We’ll have to wait and see.

More pics of the new Freddy will be coming later today . . .

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.
