Jackie Earle Haley, who played the masked knight Rorschach in "Watchmen", will play Freddy Krueger in New Line's new version of "A Nightmare on Elm Street"! There are nine films in the "Harm Street" series, all of which tell the horrific stories of the demon Freddy sneaking into people's dreams and killing people. This new version of "Hermit Street" is not a sequel, but a start over. "Freddy" is a classic image in the history of horror movies. It turned out that the role was played by Robert Englund. According to the producer, the most important thing in selecting "Freddy" actors is to be able to perform wonderfully even if the audience in disguise doesn't recognize you. Jack Earl Harry's performance in "Watchmen" proved that he has this ability.
