It's Jackie Earle Haley as Freddy Krueger!

Last night I started on the Watchmen Director's Cut DVD (review coming soon) and I was thinking then: Jackie Earle Haley might do all right as Freddy Krueger in the upcoming remake of A Nightmare on Elm Street.

Now comes the first photo of Haley in the trademark hat, sweater and glove...

Can't see much of the face 'cuz it's swathed in shadow, but just going by this one pic it looks like Haley is channeling Freddy in all the right ways (though that may not necessarily be the healthiest of things to channel).
