Will Jackie Earle Haley make a good Freddy Krueger?
April 4, 2009 by Jane Boursaw
Freddy Krueger is like a demented Energizer Bunny, isn’t he? He just keeps on going and going and going. In New Line’s redo of "A Nightmare on Elm Street," Jackie Earle Haley will play the role of Freddy Krueger, taking over for Robert Englund.
