 I get the whole "Robert Englund is the ONLY Freddy Krueger" thing. I do. Still, if you're going to go ahead with a ANOES remake, and this is obviously happening, then you hope for a decent actor in the role and capable writers for the film, which is IMO the case. Jackie Earle Haley will make, IMO a very good "Fred Krueger". As good as Robert Englund's portrayal of this iconic horror movie character? Maybe not but Haley will be good enough. From the article, this quote from a reader responding to this article(with images):
 I agree with this reader: the character should be serious and without the over the top wisecracks. |

Yeah, despite the fact that I think nobody can top Englund in the role, I can't think of a better actor to take his place. Not sure about the writers or director, but they chose well with Jackie Earl Haley. I'll miss Englund in the role, but I'm more worried about the lack of Wes Craven in the director's chair. He's a lot harder to replace than Englund. |

Looks good, I like how they kept him in the shadows but I still would have liked to see what the face looks like. |

I saw this poster image as well: http://worstpreviews.com/images/headlines/temp/temp1673.jpg Though Krueger's face is mostly obscured it's obvious he's grotesquely burned and wouldn't be on anybody's guest list for Sunday brunch.

That poster image is great, the glove looks great and so is the burn madeup.  This remake seems to be getting better.

Actor Jackie Earle Haley recently spoke, at Comic.con, about how he is trying to portray "Fred Krueger", the iconic character in the ANOES film franchise made famous by actor Robert Englund. To see his comments click the link: http://www.horror-movies.ca/horror_15993.html From the article, some specific remarks by Jackie Earle Haley: It's good to see Haley giving Robert Englund his due props. Exactly.

Any doubts I may have had about the casting of Jackie Earle Haley to play "Fred Krueger" in the ANOES remake were put to rest after I watched Haley portray "Rorschach" in Watchmen. Rorschach is a character who blends both a rigid sense of right and wrong with a deliberate, almost psychotic manner of going about his business, namely, getting the "bad guys". There was one scene in Watchmen where Rorshach, imprisoned under his real name of Walter Kovacs, made it very clear by his actions towards another hostile inmate that the rest of the inmates were the ones in potential danger being around him...and not the other way around.  Jackie Earle Haley brought a character who wears a mask for the better part of a film to life and did it well. I believe he will put his own unique "spin" on the character of Freddy Krueger, one I hope is well received by fans of the ANOES film franchise.

I didn't really like The Watchmen overall. I had a lot of problems with it. But the one thing I really did like was Jackie Earl Haley as Rorschach. He was by far the best thing about that movie. |

Here's a link to the A Nightmare On Elm Street remake trailer: http://vids.myspace.com/index.cfm?fuseaction=vids.individual&VideoID=63620005 Anyway, there are three things that I don't like:: Freddy looks like an alien rather then someone who was burnt, Freddy's voice isn't deep enough and one scene looks like something from The Exorcist.  I can say one thing that I really liked about it: The new glove looks great.
