Jackie Earle Haley is "curious" about Freddy Krueger

By Matt Holmes / June 25, 2011

Will Jackie Earle Haley be haunting the nightmares of some fresh faced teens with a knife ended brown glove, a disfigured face, that red and green sweater and that brown fedora hat? Will Rorschach play another character of legendary pop culture status? Is Haley about to play a child paedophile again, so soon after winning an Academy Award nomination for playing a sexual pervert in LITTLE CHILDREN? Speaking to IGN, Haley claims he is "curious" about playing Freddy Krueger in the Platinum Dunes remake of A NIGHTMARE ON ELM STREET in what can be read as almost a "come and make me an offer" plea...

Set to lense in Chicago this April, A NIGHTMARE ON ELM STREET remains uncast. Samuel Bayer, director of Nirvana's Smells Like Teen Spirit music video makes his directorial debut from a script by CAPE FEAR writer Wesley Strick.
