This Man could be the new Freddy Krueger



Some news for the Horror fans! Latino Review may be the first to break the news that Jackie Earle Haley could be Freddy Krueger!

Yep, that's right. Jackie Earle Haley, aka raspy-voiced Rorschach in Watchmen, is now in final talks to take over the role of serial killer Freddy Krueger in the 2010 reboot of A Nightmare on Elm Street. This news comes to us today from Bloody-Disgusting but if it sounds familiar that's because El Mayimbe first broke the Haley-as-Krueger rumor in February. But, much like the parents in the Elm Street movies never believe that their teens are being hunted by a ghoulish looking Freddy, nobody believed El Mayimbe back then.


Interesting choice, I can see it and it makes sense. He was great in Losin' it, The Bad News Bears, Little Children and Watchmen. Hopefully, the story will be good.

And speaking of Losin' it...

I had an odd crush on him back then

Why in the HELL are they rebooting this?
When will it STOP!
The original Nightmare is a classic. Don't mess with it!
All I have to say is...
Halloween (2005) and Psycho
(1998)...Both remakes. BOTH sucked!
