Well, folks, we’ve got our first look at Jackie Earle Haley as Freddy Krueger in the new version of A Nightmare on Elm Street. It’s a darkly lit pic and you can’t really see his face at all, but it’s something, isn’t it?

Frankly, I think it looks pretty cool. It’s really got the spirit of the flicks (the better ones, anyway) down to a tee, and it’s nice and creepy to boot.

Haley was already a pretty inspired choice for the part. Maybe this one won’t be too shabby! Thoughts?

UPDATE!!! Now we’ve got us a brand spankin’ new poster for the movie and to be honest, I think it looks pretty damn cool! All this really bodes well. Platinum Dunes might just have a winner on their hands. (God knows it’s better than what they did to Jason Vorhees.)
