First Pics from Nightmare On Elm Street Remake

*Slap-Happy* · 07-22-2009, 08:33 PM

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.

Spoiler:

If it's real, it fits with the "He looks like a real burn victim." thing.

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.

*DrSpengler* · 07-30-2009, 11:42 PM

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.

*The Stryker* · 08-03-2009, 01:31 AM

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.

*XERO* · 08-03-2009, 04:18 PM

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

~~Leo656~~ · 08-07-2009, 10:50 PM

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?

*Ninjinister* · 08-07-2009, 11:06 PM

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.

Leonardo87 · 08-11-2009, 08:29 PM

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.
