    omgah… super intense! I think this freddy is way more realistic and more scary looking. The other one was quite comical. Can't wait to see this movie!



  2. 2

    You think he looks "seksi" because Jackie Earle Haley played a child molester in "Little Children". You can identify with that closely, can't you, pervert?



  3. 3

    looks like he has down syndrome. not scary looking at all



  4. 4

    No!!! Too skinny, I just don't buy it! I loved the original Freddy- Robert Englund can't be replaced!!!



  5. 5

    . . . which just goes to show that acne scars can be really, really scary. Dermabrasion.



  6. 6

    loks like a charred alien. not scary at all.



  7. 7

    perez, you brought teh lulz for once! god job



  8. 8

    Good*



  9. 9

    Damn I can't wait for this!



  10. 10

    SCARYYYYYY



  11. 11

    He looks just like you did Perez after spending that whole night in Austin working the Glory Hole and tossing salad backstage.



  12. 12

    Looks like Michael Jackson after filming a Pepsi commercial.



  13. 13

    JEH - Perfect Casting, this is going to be so awesome



  14. 14

    How LAME! Doesn't look anything like him. I hope this doesn't suck eggs.



  15. 15

    He looks like the mummy from the first 2 Mummy movies



  16. 16

    not scary… he looks like he cant make any expressions…. bleh…. original freddy will always be the one who haunts my dreams..haha



  17. 17

    hes looks shit compared to the other freddy tbh. this remake is going to SUCK!



  18. 18

    looks like the slice of pizza I had for lunch… FAIL!



  19. 19

    Re: LoveSlut – LMAO!!!! Good call!!!



  20. 20

    NOT even scary at all….they use way too much latex on him,

  21. Mikta says – reply to this


    21

    looks like shit.. not scary at all just looks strange .. Robert Englund was perfect as freddy why replace him?



  22. 22

    Noooo! They ruined him!



  23. 23

    Is that Kelly Leake?



  24. 24

    I wasn't sure how this was going to turn out when I heard Robert Englund wasn't doing Freddy ( it is to much of an icon playing a classic) BUT Jack Earl Haley seems to do the role justice from the trailers I have seen. I can't wait to see it!



  25. 25

    Who's we? You and your over-rated ego, Mario? It's not scary, but it is gross looking even though it's fake.



  26. 26

    looks retarded.. STOP THE REMAKES



  27. 27

    Of course you think the new Freddy is 'seksi' Perez, you think cardboard is sexy.

    Horny pervert.



  28. 28

    WHAT THE HELL??HE DOESNT LOOK SCARY @ ALL,HE LOOKS LIKE A CARTOON CHARACTER..ARE YOU KIDDING ME??THEY SHOULDNT EVER REMADE THIS MOVIE.

  29. air21 says – reply to this


    29

    this is way to upsetting…if ur going to remake a movie as big as this one…COME ON at least make him look like freddy…now a days they can make 2 poeple look like identical twins…he just looks like a freaken cat….epic fail.



  30. 30

    Looks Like Clint Eastwood



  31. 31

    this isn't freddy. This film isn't a nightmare on elm street. It's yet another POINTLESS REMAKE . Platinum Dunes did nothing but insult the original films and insult Robert England. Jackie pricky strange character gimmicky earl gray tea or whatever his name is, is just shit. HE personally insulted Robert Englund, put down the originals and showed no sign of respect or even common knowledge of the originals. This freddy looks like buzushima from bloody roar. TERRIBLE. Without respect for the originals, without the support of the original creator and the ONLY actor that has and should have been the last to portray freddy, this movie is simply for the quick buck. They have nerve to steal practically the entire first film with a few new little dream farts thrown in, meanwhile totally insulting it. Great job. I think this movie will follow in all the other legendary remakes such as Friday the 13 and Halloween. All…. grrrrrrrrreat…smh… :/ God awful. And if you couldn't tell, that was sarcasm.



  32. 32

    What exactly is "seksi" about it, you FUCKING ID I OT



  33. 33

    not scary at all. the original scared the hell out of me. this one is kind of attractive. weird.



  34. 34

    LOVE LOVE LOVE LOVE LOVE! Jackie is going to do Freddy justice.



  35. 35

    Meh, I know they're going with realism but he looks like Voldemort that fell on a dermabrasion wheel. :P



  36. 36

    Looks just like Madonna after she removes all her makeup.



  37. 37

    Re: truth in life – OMG when I first saw the pic. I thought the same thing LOL!!!!



  38. 38

    You think a severe looking psychotic burn victim is sexy? Well alright. I like the original freddy better.



  39. 39

    Re: LoveSlut
    Lmao I was thinking the same thing!



  40. 40

    The original looks scarier, and uglier. I don't like the hollow cheeks right now and the small eyes… I'll still be watching the movie though, I'm a huge fan of Freddy!



  41. 41

    Robert Englund > the new unscary Freddy.



  42. 42

    Nah, that's not Freddy…that's just Sissy Spacek with a top hat on.



  43. 43

    most certainly a better actor taking on the role. I think this remake will be the classic



  44. 44

    I'm gonna miss original Freddy's voice! :(
    But i do think this guy looks creepier.

  45. Pisky says – reply to this


    45

    This look absolutely dreadful, how does this even look remotely scary? His voice is even worse sounds like Christian Bale in Dark Knight, so retarded. Robert Englund should of been brought back, the trailer looks horrible, and supposedly it's more "serious" this time around no more jokes like Englund did, which no offense is what made freddy different, you'd be scared then he'd make you laugh, then freak you the fuck out haha. This movie is gonna be horrible. Michael Bay produced this and the Friday the 13th reboot, which was outright awful and comical, since it was pretty much softcore porn.



  46. 46

    Kind of iRobot-y… :o \



  47. 47

    he looks like he aged.



  48. 48

    THAT ISN'T FREDDY!



  49. 49


  50. 50

    *sigh* why do people insist on ruining a good thing? I am all about the 80s Nightmare on El Street. wtf is this bullshit?



  51. 51

    Oh come on! He looks like a skinny Sandman! NOT scary at all. My nephew of 8 would probably laugh at this if I showed it to him!



  52. 52

    The original Freddy looked a lot scarier! I remember seeing him as a child, and couldn't sleep for days! LoL! Original versions are always much better!



  53. 53

    Re: El loco Norwegian – Michael's scalp had 3rd degree burns, Einstein! That's not a joke!



  54. 54

    Sorry, Robert Englund's Freddy is the one I grew up to fear so no.. this one won't work!

  55. lobri says – reply to this


    55

    He looks more fake than the original one did! Jeez! Is it an automatron?



  56. 56

    I think he looks good but is still love the old freddy robert englund he really can't be replaced :-) x



  57. 57

    p.s i can't wait to see it i bet its gunna be good x



  58. 58

    He looks like fish. This movie should have never been made…
    We already have eight, I think that's enough.

    Re: Pisky – seriously! i couldnt have said it any better myself!!



  61. 61

    not scary at all…original freddy is much scarier…



  62. 62

    NOT FUCKING SCARY. HE LOOKS RETARDED!



  63. 63

    I am so sick of these 80's remakes. Robert Englund was the best Freddie. They made him have a sense of humor. I guess we will have to wait and see.



  64. 64

    noooooooooooooo def not the same!! I don't like it :(



  65. 65

    looks like Sharon Stone after her facelift - PLEASE, ENOUGH of the remakes - how about something NEW, Hollywood?!?! too much to ask?



  66. 66

    well he dont looks that evil but ok



  67. 67

    Re: pinkchik03 – I'll repent on my deathbed and all will be forgiven :-)



  68. 68

    i am only going to see it with a resident evil afterlife trailer



  69. 69

    i am so hardcore against this. i love the nightmare on elm street movies and no one, NO ONE, but robert englund should ever be freddy. end of story.



  70. 70

    lame moviee…who'd even bother to go and watch it……… :S



  71. 71

    he look GGI ughhhhhhhhhh



  72. 72

    Are you kidding me?? the original Freddy was REALLY scary! Robert Englund can't be replaced!!! Why even try to touch a classic anyway. Has it came to this in Hollywood that everything has to done again? Damn, get some original stories.



  73. 73

    not scary, it looks like a burn patient….very sad



  74. 74

    This is an epic fail. He does not look scary AT ALL, he looks ridiculous. Besides, Robert Englund always has and always will be the only Freddy that matters.



  75. 75

    Whoa.
    Now that's creepy



  76. 76

    he looks mentally challenged, not frightening. what an awful makeover



  77. 77

    Not scary D: I was so hoping it would be scarier than before but.. no.



  78. 78

    So sick of all of these recycled ideas in Hollywood. There are some great writers out there somewhere who have original ideas! All I can say is that the day Hollywood remakes "Scarface," is the day Hollywood will spontaneously combust.



  79. 79

    Looks awesome - give the guy some credit - the inimitable Jackie Earle Haley!



  80. 80

    why the hell would they even remake this movie?! they made freddy vs. jason like what 6 years ago? why not just add on to that or something instead of going all the way back to the beginning after a bunch of sequels were already made. thats what they did with friday the 13th and halloween. stupid! i just don't get it. a nightmare on elmstreet without robert englund isn't a nightmare on elmstreet. how dare them replace him! if he didn't want to go along with their stupid idea of a remake, or he's too old w/e, they should've just left it alone.



  81. 81

    at least this freddy actually looks like a burn victim!



  82. 82

    FAIL



  83. 83

    I don't like it, I love the old Freddy, plus, this guy kinda looks like Voldemort



  84. 84

    JEH will be an amazing Freddie. He'll lean more firmly on the psychotic behaviors of the character as opposed to the humor that Englund chose to highlight, and he'll end up with a character whose ruthlessness is truly fear-inspiring. Let the man work his magic.



  85. 85

    Hahaha a mixture of a frog and Clint Eastwood.



  86. 86

    Re: team-aniston – Freddy was burned to death, so it should look resemble someone who was burned hun. Plus Robert Englund said he was too old to keep on playing the character so they cast someone new. Idk how well the movie will be, seeing as the last few classic horror remakes weren't that great, but it will make a ton of money in theatres none the less. Plus with this release date it will most likely be out on DVD for Halloween, so I am excited either way.



  87. 87

    FAIL!!!!!



  88. 88

    I dunno, I find the old look scarier. But I can get used to a more realistic burned guy look.



  89. 89

    From what I recall reading, Robert Englund was approached to be in this one as well, but he declined cause I do believe the man is close to 70 now. In any case, I don't think this should have been remade at all. I loved these movies growing up and you just can't imagine loving the so called remake as much as the original. I'm sure the special effects will be better, but beyond that, its a wast of $. Get creative already, Hollywood!!!



  90. 90

    Just googled..he's actually 63



  91. 91

    there is only one freddy



  92. 92

    That doesn't look like a guy that was burned alive..It looks like an alien



  93. 93

    first look? seriously, buckethead? the trailers have been out for months!!

  94. gloom says – reply to this


    94

    Its weird cause I think the actor, Jackie Earle Haley, looked so sexy in Watchmen as the dude with the blotted mask.



  95. 95

    LOL. I think he looks like a cross between Leona's Ghost and the original Nubian Goddess.



  96. 96

    Re: LoveSlut – Have you ever seen a badly burned child or anyone for that matter? You outta look it up. That is how they look. They obvisouly did want it to look more like he was burned but I still like the original better.



  97. 97

    Eh, don't like it.

    I'm not scared or have any tingling fear when looking at him. Its just pity and sadness. I want to be scared like I was as a kid watching Freddy for the first time. I don't want to feel sorry for the guy.



  98. 98

    Kris let Bruce out for once!!!

  99. Sezzy says – reply to this


    99

    original freddy was better. this one looks like Gollum



  100. 100

    This isn't our first look. Even if people haven't seen them all over the internets, you've posted several trailers. This is like my seventh look.
