Here’s the second official trailer for the A Nightmare On Elm Street update coming to theaters April 30th:

I have little doubt that Jackie Earle Haley will “kill it” as the new, more gruesome-looking, and less quippy Freddy Krueger, but I do share others’ concerns about the movie being too similar to the original.

The official site calls the new film a “contemporary re-imagining” which, judging by the trailer, means “remake.”
I think the casting of Watchmen‘s Jackie Earle Haley (Rorschach) as the new Freddy Krueger is inspired; I can’t really think of any actor better suited for the role of Freddy. (Although, the new “Freddy” voice will take some getting used to.)
Not so sure about the trailer’s laughably silly reveal of the iconic red and green striped sweater either…
