First pic of Krueger

Following up on our A
NIGHTMARE ON ELM STREET set
visit preview, it appears as though the studio was aligning all
things NOES for the Comic Con weekend coming up, with the first
official photo from the film (remember, we managed the “first
look” at Freddy a while back) going to a site called
MySpace (never heard of it). As you surely already know by now, the
great Robert Englund was replaced with the pedophile from LITTLE
CHILDREN aka Jackie Earle Haley to play the lead nutball Freddy
Krueger. Below is the “first real look” at Haley in
costume, although even then…it’s not exactly a great shot. Not
sure why studios believe that releasing a dark shadowy picture is the
best way to go on shit like this. Oh, maybe because it’s a horror
movie? No idea. Either way, this new version of the film opens wide
on April 16th 2010. Excited yet?
