SDCC Video: Jackie Earle Haley Talks Freddy Krueger


Source: Ryan Rotten, Managing Editor
July 31, 2009


Minutes before the A Nightmare on Elm Street gang stepped into the press room at Comic-Con for a press conference (read about that here), I caught up with Jackie Earle Haley to chat briefly about his turn as Freddy Krueger. It was the first time talking to the actor since my visit to the Chicago set (preview here) and the actor was a bit more at ease explaining his approach to the role. (Apologies in advance for the camera work!)

Scarier?!

I'll have to see it to believe it, but I'm optimistic.

This will be one of those movies where you simply get the creeps walkin' into the theatre. Can't f'n wait!

He was the only good thing about Watchmen, he should make a good Freddy.

WHEN DO WE GET A TRAILER!!!!! .....*cough*.... sorry. But yea, JEH will be a great Freddy, not sure about everything else, will have to wait and see the movie before I can pass judgment.

Oh, and if he farts on a kid.... I will pee my pants in ecstacy!!!!!

Posted by: Eugene on August 7, 2009 at 04:09:09

SHENK! Damn it, pay attention! 1885 is the year they travel back to in BttF3. A century prior to when the present day is set.

Yeesh, KIDS these days..

I have to disagree with joelzombie. I thought theremake of Halloween was great. Very dark and a beautiful presentaton of how they told the hstory of Michael Myers. That was missing in prior movies. Hope this presentation goes good also. Only bcause I grw up deathly afraid of this man. LoLz

I never saw this guy before Watchmen but I'd heard he was cast as the new Freddy. During Watchmen I thought his voice was perfect, but when the mask was removed and I saw his face I nearly jumped out of my seat and freaked. For the rest of the movie I was 100% convinced this guy is the perfect Freddy Krugger. I can't wait to see this movie.

TruFables: The Halloween remake had his past totally wrong. He never killed his dad. Watch the first movie again. His mom and dad unveil his mask and his mom isn't a dancer and his dad isn't a douche bag (at least they don't look like it). Halloween was dumb and verses the original it blew! I am not excited about the 2nd one but I am going to watch it because I saw the 1st one. I hope it's better. It won't take much haha. And this reboot of Freddy will be good but probably won't beat the original.

Jackie Earle is a friggin great actor & if watchmen wasn't enough to prove it check out Semi-Pro (Will Ferrel). He plays the dirty hippie who wins the half court shooting contest & pops up throughout the movie. that'll give you some idea of his range.

you people and your originals
if they made every remake just like the original then there would be no point in the remake, sometimes the little things that are changed are for the better but you are too attached to your childhood memories to accept that.
