New Nightmare on Elm Street

Jackie Earle who plays the masked vigilante Rorschach in "Watchmen" Haley will play Freddy Krueger in New Line's new version of "A Nightmare on Elm Street"! There are a total of 9 movies in the "A Nightmare on Elm Street" series, all of which tell the terrifying story of the demon Freddy sneaking into people's dreams to kill people. This new version of "A Nightmare on Elm Street" is not a sequel, but a start from scratch. "Freddy" is a classic image in the history of horror movies. It was Robert Englund who originally played this role. According to the producers, the most important thing when choosing the actor for "Freddy" is to be able to perform well even when the costumed audience doesn't know you, and Jack Earle Haley's performance in "Watchmen" proved that he has this ability.
