At comic con the official one sheet was released for us to set your eyes upon. have a look below and let us know your thoughts.

We have finally got a picture of our new Freddy Krueger! We all know that Jackie Earle Haley has taken the stripped jumper and fedora hat from the legend Robert England, but what you all want to know is “Does he look like Freddy?” Well… Its too early to tell, the picture that has been released in not the best, but it gives us a sneak at what he looks like. Nightmare On Elm Street is famous for its dark scenes and here we are with a very dark scene!

From what we can see in the picture, you get a sense that the new Freddy will not be an exact replica of the old Freddy, which makes sense (Why do a remake and keep the main character the same?). I hope we get more pictures in the near future and I hope more that we get what we want and that is a dark and gruesome looking Freddy that we all believe will “Slash” the box-office when Nightmare On Elm Street hits the cinemas in April 2010.
