Posted on: July 22nd, 2009 First Poster for Nightmare on Elm St. Remake
IGN.com snagged themselves the first official artwork for Platinum Dunes’ Nightmare on Elm St. reimagining. Check out the poster below.
That is of course Watchmen’s Jackie Earle Haley under the fedora and striped sweater. Oh how it shows so much yet so little.
It’s good to see Platinum Dunes sticking to the visual inconography of Freddy (just like they did with Jason, to their credit). Apparently, if what we’ve heard from recent set visits are true, be prepared to see a more serious, frightening and equally burned Kruger.
The film opens April 16, 2010. GKS will have more info as it becomes available, so don’t nobody go nowhere.

It does look like they’ve been faithful to Freddy’s iconic appearance which helps. Here’s hoping they preserve my favorite “bed eating” death scene, also. Bonus points if it’s still Johnny Depp who gets devoured.
