Jackie Earle Haley Tapped For Sinestro In Green Lantern, Superman to Cameo
Posted on Saturday, October 17th, 2009 by Brendon Connelly
Probably the most disappointing thing about Green Lantern is that the protracted and delayed production is going to ensure, without any doubt, that director Martin Campbell can’t be in charge of the next Bond film and turn that franchise round again (for the third time).
It’s not all bad news, though. On the plus side, a new rumour has pegged Jackie Earle Haley for the role of Sinestro in the picture. You may recall that he’s the mentor character that might just turn out to be a baddie (if they don’t save that for the sequel). The same unnamed gossipmonger has Superman down for a cameo role in the film, which sounds like a wild and unlikely idea but the character was in at least one draft of the script and since Marvel’s multi-picture mashup scheme, I wouldn’t be surprised to see DC try a similar tactic.
High Resolution: A Nightmare on Elm Street and Jonah Hex
Posted on Monday, July 27th, 2009 by Peter Sciretta
Warner Bros has sent us high resolution digital files of some of the new posters and photos which premiered last week during Comic-Con. After the jump you will find the poster for the big screen supernatural comic adaptation Jonah Hex, the teaser poster for Platinum Dunes’ A Nightmare on Elm Street and the first teaser photo of Jackie Earle Haley as Freddy Krueger. Above is a cropped version of said photo, with the brightness and contrast shifted to give you a better look at Freddy’s new make-up.
First Teaser Photo: Jackie Earle Haley as Freddy Krueger in A Nightmare on Elm Street
Posted on Wednesday, July 22nd, 2009 by Peter Sciretta
Warner Bros has released the first teaser image of Jackie Earle Haley as Freddy Krueger in Platinum Dunes’ remake/re-imagining of A Nightmare on Elm Street. Unfortunately much of Freddy’s face is hidden in shadow. You will notice that Jackie’s body is a bit smaller than Robert Englund, who played Freddy in the original Wes Craven film. You can also notice that Freddy’s ear is more like that of a real burn victim. Producer Brad Fuller says that another image will be released later this afternoon on IGN. So check back later. The image premiered on MySpace.
Discuss: From the little you’ve seen so far, what do you think of Freddy’s new look?
On Thursday June 25th, I had the oppurtunity to visit the set of Platinum Dunes’ remake/re-imagining of A Nightmare on Elm Street.
With a Comic Con panel scheduled for later this week, Warner Bros has given us the green light to post a short preview piece, giving you a no-so-detailed tease of some of the stuff we saw, and our impressions. As you must know by now, instead of writing up a boring block of text, I’ve instead opted to record a short video blog with Frosty from Collider, who also visited the Chicago set.

Early Teaser Poster For Martin Scorsese’s Shutter Island
Posted on Friday, March 27th, 2009 by Peter Sciretta
RopeofSilicon have gotten their hands on an early teaser poster for Martin Scorsese‘s adaptation of Dennis Lehane‘s novel Shutter Island, which was published in a Berliner Zeitung newspaper. I’m pretty sure, and hope, that this is just an early marketing concept.
