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?
