Jackie Earle Haley Officially Unveiled as Freddy Krueger

Mere hours before the San Diego Comic-Con fires up this year, MySpace has scored the exclusive "first-look" at Watchmen's Jackie Earle Haley as the new Freddy Krueger in next year's Nightmare On Elm Street remake/reboot/rewhatever.

Now mind you, the film is expected to make a presence at the Con. So this is most likely the first of a number of items we'll be seeing from our pal Fred this weekend.

Freddy looks good, nice and creepy. Judging from the background, it looks like this certain scene takes place in the pre-school that the 'new' Freddy worked at as a janitor.

Looks awesome.
