Freddy wants more face time, and we're certainly seeing it.

Last week the realistic visage of Krueger threw many for a loop. The majority opinion was that it looked like a cheap mask. My personal favorites are, a' 95 year olds nut sack' and 'Fire Marshall Bill' as Dave Davis so lovingly joked.

I'm still trying to form an opinion on the Samuel Bayer re-imagining. Bayer has directed some amazing music videos: Blind Melon "No Rain", The Cranberries "Zombie", Smashing Pumpkins "Bullet with Butterfly Wings", and of course the number one on every 90's list, Nirvana "Smells Like Teen Spirit". So will that direction make NIGHTMARE ON ELM STREET more than just a reboot?

Take a second look at Freddy, and tell me if your opinion has changed. If not, you've got two other photos to look at and a picture of Rooney Mara thinking naughty things with Emmy Rossum.

This is definitely not in the movie.

Extra Tidbit: I can't help but be partial to Robert Englund. Maybe that's why I can't get into Hayley's Freddy.

it's gonna take allot to get used to, especially if this film is successful and becomes a franchise.



I'm not happy about the new look nor dissapointed, it could go eigther way, let's wait and see.

Niki, get yourself a girlfriend...and how old are you? Why are you so partial to Englund? You breeze by the fact Bayer has directed so many amazing videos...respect the Craven - he is still in charge after all.

I'm 25. First one came out two months after I was born. My Mom was a huge fan of Englund, and we would watch each of the NOES movies. Bayer is an awesome video director and I do respect Craven, but there's nothing wrong with loving a actor's performance. I'm sure it will be cool, but I'm certainly not disrespecting. Craven is amazing. If it weren't for him and Kevin Williamson, I wouldn't have ...

Right...
So Platinum Dunes said that these were real and were not screen grabs from the trailer, but in fact they are from the trailer. So not only have they not given us anything new, the "supposed" better look at Freddy is in fact the same one we have had all along. I however am really looking forward to the movie, because I am holding out hope that they made Freddy a vicious psycho child killer and...

What kind of Article title is that, It's not accurate
This is an absolutely pointless misleading article. There is ZERO actual shot of this face that isn't in the dark. Oh & who cares about this movie either. Oh that's right kids. What happened to the all important 18-49 age group? Oh yeah that's TV.

I'm less interested in the look, more interested how Haley will actually portray Freddy. The look of Freddy is definitely important, not trying to say it's not, I'm just way more excited to see how Haley tackles this role as a whole, not just with the makeup.

WTF??
I was anticipating Robert Englund with a slightly new look and a return to the original roots. The roots of horror and just pure terror. The series went on to be laughable and this reboot is a travesty. This obsession the cinematic world has for Hayley is overdeserved. He does not deserve to be Krueger and the new FX are childish. THe Character Robnert Englund perfected is going to mean...

Looks terrible...
The whole "realistic face" is the lamest shit ever. Is it really realistic that a dream demon/ghost would look like a living & healed burn victim? This look makes me feel sorry for Freddy instead of feeling terrified.



Craven's was far better because Freddy looked like he had just stepped out of the flames. The fresh burns & wicked smile made him frightening.

Losers complaining about make-up
Freddy always had a highly stylized make-up, this looks close to what Wes Craven did, but without looking like Robert Englund with Pizza Cheese covering his face.
