New Line Cinema has revealed the teaser trailer for the remake of A Nightmare on Elm Street.
Directed by Samuel Bayer, the April 30th release stars Jackie Earle Haley as the new Freddy Krueger, as well as Rooney Mara, Kyle Gallner, Thomas Dekker, Kellan Lutz, Katie Cassidy and Connie Britton.
Thoughts:
I honestly wasn't expecting anything good coming from this remake especially since the original Freddy Krueger (Robert Englund) isn't playing the role that made him famous. With that said, this teaser trailer actually wasn't that bad. It looks like it could be a decent remake in a world full of terrible remakes. My only grip is that Jackie Earle Haley really needs to work on the voice. It's beyond terrible and doesn't come close to matching the scary Freddy voice done by Mr. Englund himself.

cant wait to see if its gonna be just as good or better than the very first Nightmare on Elm Street.
Vocal issues notwithstanding (I don't have a problem, but I'm no fan of the original series anyhow), casting Haley has to be considered a huge, huge coup for them. He lends edge and integrity, and his star is still on the rise. Looks appropriately seriously scary.
Haley is a wonderful choice and hes a very talented actor. He no doubt has the ability to carry this remake. Its just he really has to work on his voice. Millions of fans around the world know what Freddy's voice sounds like and they have come to love it.
