First Pics from Nightmare On Elm Street Remake
 

The first teaser pic of Jackie Earle Haley as Freddy Kruegar from the NOES remake has been released.

If you look closely, his ear looks more like an actual burn victim.

And here's the poster.

You can see a sinister grin on his face in this one.

What do you guys think of Freddy's new look (though it's mostly hidden)?

P.S. is anyone going to the NOES panel? If so, will you film it?

He's too short! Another classic franchise, ruined by Hollywood! GOD!

Love the poster. Been using the first image as my desktop since it was released.

Yeah, for some reason he looks small. I liked these movies back when I was like 12. I mean, he's creepy lookin', but come on, I could beat the crap out of this guy in an empty alley. Oh, no, he has sharp nails...

You. Beat the crap out of someone. Hilarious.

I like it but everyone is going to complain about it regardless.

I guess my NMoES noobieness is shining through, how much has really changed about Freddie save the actor and his stature?

The make up is appearently "Disturbingly real".
And, there are minor changes in the glove.

Is it still the same actor from the originals? Robert Englund? Either way I'll watch it, he used to creep me out when I was a lil kid. I'd like a remake just for the effects part of it.

No. It's Jackie Earl Haley. Rorscach from Watchmen.

I found this pic online, I don't know if it's real or not, but it's is pretty cool.
If it's real, it fits with the "He looks like a real burn victim." thing.

Thats a shame but im still keen to watch it.

We were at the WB panel down at Con and saw the actor and an exclusive trailer. Looked AMAZING! I know it will be met with mountains of cretics, but I like re-visits when they are done right and this one looks sick and scary and gross! Badass guys! Has anyone heard when the official trailer is coming out? All I keep finding are these strange although well done fan trailers.

I'm down with the look, and think Haley was excellent casting.

Teaser pics certainly look promising.

Does anyone know if Englund has a cameo in this flick? I am a huge NOES fan, but I am on the fence about this remake.

They haven't mentioned anything about Englund having a cameo.

I personally hope he doesn't. It would take you out of the movie.

It was announced at comic con that he wouldn't.

If anybody makes a cameo, it should be the Fat Boys.

I'm down. I'm a huge fan of the series but fully half of them were "meh". "New Nightmare" was pretty sweet, and I liked "Freddy Vs Jason" for what it was, but this is a rare case where a reboot might actually turn out to be a good idea. If it was anybody except Jackie Earl Hailey, I might be less excited.

So maybe by 2030 we'll see some version of Freddy Vs Jason Vs Ash in theatres instead of just a comic, eh? :lol:

Haley seems like good casting, although it'll be weird to have someone other than Englund in the role. It's not like Jason, who had like 20 guys play him at one point or another (and even was voiced by Englund in a cameo in a Treehouse of Horror Simpsons episode). But meh... as long as it's good, I'm not going to complain.

I'm not sure about the Nightmare remake even though Freddy is my favorite horror villain. I always seen Robert as Freddy for a long time, but now they decide to cast a new actor for the role. Pictures don't really give the first impression so the only way I can be the judge of it is either the trailer or going to the movies and see it that way.

I can't wait for this huge Nightmare fan! Gonna miss Englund though! Hate that they won't post the trailer form comic con! And Leo656, nWo 4 Life! Love the Outsiders pic! Best tag team ever & I miss them! Nash is still the man!

Teaser Trailer is up.

Eh, this trailer did nothing for me. Actually kind of lowered my interest a bit. :ohwell:

Same and Freddy's voice and makeup is bad. Here is a picture of what Freddy looks like: http://i125.photobucket.com/albums/p...himpfreddy.jpg

Personally I think he looks like monkey in this, but that is just me :lol:.

Hey now! hahaha I think thats just one frame, maybe he is saying something monkeyish there hahaha! I think its sweet!

When I saw this trailer in San Diego it looked awesome... that said this one could be different, I just cant find a version that was not uploaded on myspace, my computer HATES myspace and wont let me open that trailer.... sad:cry:

haha it's ok :), Here it is on YouTube if they don't take it down that is.

My childhood!!!! Noooooo!!!!!!

The part in the beginning where Freddy's like "What do you think I did!?" is just kind of upsetting.

Actually this makeup looks more like a person who had their whole face burned.

Oh wait....logic?

Like the trailer not big on the make-up. Need to see more pics to be sure. Also wondering if in this re-imagining is Krueger really innocent & they wrongfully accuse him unlike the original.

Ya this trailer is no where near as good as the comic con one! The con one was longer and much creepier, they also showed a little more of him being creepy. There was a good scene in the attic which was cool! Also not sure what I think either way, but in that trailer they also show him running out of the house on fire. There was also cool shots from the scene where the girl is in the school and there is that creepy bloody chick in the hall. It was much better I think.

I'unno, looks fine. I wonder if they are in fact gonna say Krueger was innocent... not sure how I'd feel about that kind of a retcon...

Sure would complicate the shot of Freddy fondling his daughter Maggie/Kathryn in the latest issue of Freddy Vs Jason Vs Ash: The Nightmare Warriors...

I don't think it can be considered a retcon if it's a remake...

I guess. Only that all the other media with Freddy, like comics and such, could be cancelled out if certain things in the plot are changed, but then we're getting into a whole other "Star Trek Parallel Universe Theory" kinda deal.

Eh, either way, I'll be seeing it even if it sucks. Can't be much worse than The Dream Child.

That Dream Child comment is absolute truth.

If it's anything like the Friday remake, it'll be decent, if not highly entertaining.

Brad Fuller posted a blog about comments on the trailer, mostly addressing the voice and makeup:

I was a Dream Warriors guy myself.

Which is perfectly acceptable, considering its one of the best ones in the series. I figure most people enjoy the first film, Dream Warriors, and New Nightmare...I only add Freddy's Dead to that list because of pure camp factor and that weird ass GooGoo Dolls song in the middle of the movie.

Don't forget Yaphet Kotto. :P

The one scene I remember the most from that movie was obviously the videogame sequence.

Wow, that looks really amazing! And I recognized the blonde girl from Harper's Island (as Trish Wellington). I guess this actresss is big on horror. I'm looking forward to this :)

I actually liked Freddy's Dead, but my perspective is a bit skewed. Seeing it opening night as a child, right around my birthday, ever since I've had a sentimental feeling about that one, even though it wasn't the best.

I'm pretty forgiving about most of the Elm Streets, moreso than the Friday the 13ths, mostly because Freddy at least had a personality.

I don't think anyone could top Englund's performance, he owned the character, but I'm willing to look at the new one with an open mind. I'm sure I'll like it even if it's not mind-blowing.
