Future Freddie? Or Past Tense?
Okay, I’ll be the first to fuckin’ admit I don’t live ANYWHERE near Hollywood. In fact, ChaozCentral originates in South Texas. SO, if you’re expecting TMZ type news; go to …. uh, TMZ.Anyhoo, its not often I have news that actually originates from here so I might as well post it while I can…
Crowds of “Watchmen” fans of all ages piled into S.A.’s Atomic Comics today to meet the man who played Rorschach, Jackie Earle Haley, and get his autograph on everything from the graphic novel to his action figure.
“I just geek on this,” said a smiling and very accommodating Haley of the love he was getting from his hometown fans. Before the event officially began, around 100 people were standing in line for their Haley fix.
But will Haley, who hit a homerun with his portrayal of hooded psychopath Rorschach, soon be playing another frightening icon, as in Freddy Krueger?
He’s already said he’s talked with the guys making the planned big-screen remake of “Nightmare on Elm Street.”
He’s “exchanged words with the guys” behind the movie.
When I caught up with Haley on Wednesday, he had this to say: “People keep asking about the Freddy thing. Not sure if I’m interested … but I’m curious about it.” (SA Express News print)
In a way, I really hope he doesn’t do Freddy. He’s quite a good actor who I don’t wanna see ‘typecasted’ into the Freddie role; especially after his nomination for “Little Children”. Though I know he’s trying to ‘make the most’ of his new moment. Second chances don’t come often … especially in Hollywood.All I can say is, the best of luck to him and I hope that whatever decision he makes is the best for him.
