Jackie Earle Haley confirmed to play Freddy in Nightmare on Elm Street

The Hollywood Reporter's Risky Biz blog on Friday confirmed the rumor, first reported by Bloody-Disgusting and Latino Review, that Watchmen's Jackie Earle Haley will play Freddy Krueger in New Line/Platinum Dunes' upcoming A Nightmare on Elm Street reboot.

Haley, who won rave reviews playing Rorschach in Zack Snyder's Watchmen, takes over the role of the iconic screen villain from Robert Englund, who originated the character in Wes Craven's 1984 first Nightmare movie.

Samuel Bayer is directing the relaunch, which was written by Wesley Strick.

Haley had been one of several actors on the shortlist to play the part. But scheduling issues almost scotched the deal: Haley is also working on the TV series Human Target, which led to conflicting dates.

Krueger, as fans know, is the serial child killer murdered by angry parents who returns with a burned face, striped sweater, fedora and razor glove to terrorize teens in their dreams.

Bloody-Disgusting also reported that Kyle Gallner (A Haunting In Connecticut) is in final talks to play Quentin, the podcast host and Johnny Depp character from the original Nightmare. (We remember him as Beaver on Veronica Mars.)

Shooting on the remake, from the same people who produced the successful Friday the 13th reboot, begins May 5 in Chicago.

Haley was nominated for an Oscar for playing a sex offender in 2006's Little Children.

Wow.....Hollywood has to remake everything, don't they? What a joke.

We watched that terrible Will Ferrell basketball movie and were surprised to see JLH in it...playing white trash perfectly. He really fell off the face of the earth after the Bad News Bears movies.

      2027: Sharing my thoughts on the cap without a lotta research

      By MHS831 · Posted

      I see Bryce's development this way: He improved when his supporting cast improved.  TMac and Dowdle saved his arse last year, but in fairness, most good QBs have good WRs and good RBs--and good OLs.   The 2025 OL underperformed, actually. They were above average, but they should have been elite if you consider the salary cap.   As soon as we signed Lewis and Hunt, I started thinking, "That's not sustainable.  With Ickey about to get paid a LT salary, Moton and Hunt grabbling $50m per season combined, and Lewis around $17m--that would be nearly $100m and the Center just walked.  Yikes.  What does that mean?  Rico walks, Mays walks, and we do not have a top 5 WR on a second contract.  We do not have an elite TE, and only 1 is on a modest second contract. And now Bryce will demand $50m for his incremental rise to mediocrity?   So when we sign Bryce, we will get weaker at other positions.  Hunt, Moton, maybe Ickey and Lewis, will all be casualties--that is the right move regardless (not sure yet about Ickey, but he was not elite) Bryce is one lucky, entitled camper.  No competition since being drafted, and he lost his job for a while to the aging clipboard holder.  Now we are bringing in UDFAs and busts to compete with him.

      Bryce Young 5th year option exercised

      Probably not.  If we are taking a QB, it would be a prospect to replace Bryce and not a flyer type player.  I can't say for sure, but I doubt he would have cracked the top 3-4 QBs even if he were to play this coming season.

      The Giants, Cardinals  and Dolphins should have moved on, but they didn't and ended up cutting their QB early into a monster second contract and had to eat a TON of dead cap money.
