Comic-Con 09: The new Freddy Krueger is online

As Total Film hits Comic Con, the news gates are flooding open. And first up, the initial look at Jackie Earle Haley in A Nightmare In Elm Street have gone online.

The first image - which somewhat coyly keep Fred in the dark so you can't really see much of his face, just his outline - indicates that they've stuck with the traditional look of Mr Fred, down to the striped jumper and blade-boasting glove.

Myspace nabbed the first pic, which you can see below. We'll be sure to bring you more once we get to talk to the filmmakers at the Con...

Like the new look - what you can see of it? Tell us...
