First Look At New Freddy Krueger

Platinum Dunes is hard at work remaking/reimagining A Nightmare On Elm Street with Watchman’s Jackie Earle Haley as the new Freddy Krueger, who will be haunting your dreams.

With Comic Con starting tomorrow, studios are leaking out teaser images ever so slowly, and this new Freddy tease is…

…well, really frustrating. I can see that Haley’s body is slimmer than previous Freddy, Robert Englund and I can sort of see a more realistic “burn victim” approach to the facial makeup, but really this image doesn’t show us much. The glove looks like it might have been re-designed? But, hell, I can’t really see.

The image premiered on MySpace and rumors are abound that another photo of Freddy will rear it’s ugly head later today.

Let’s hope it’s true and we actually get to see something.
