EXCL: Cassidy Meets Krueger in Nightmare on Elm Street

April 30, 2009


Freddy Krueger will have his hands full in the new A Nightmare on Elm Street, especially with the latest member to join the cast.

Actress Katie Cassidy has taken the role of "Kris" in the Samuel Bayer-directed reboot of Wes Craven's '84 slasher film. She's the second female lead to sign aboard after Rooney Mara. Kyle Gallner, Thomas Dekker and Jackie Earle Haley as Freddy Krueger also star.

Cassidy is no stranger to Supernatural fans. She had a good run on the CW horror series as the demon Ruby. Prior to that stint she played the final girl in the Black Christmas remake and was recently seen kidnapped in the Liam Neeson-starring hit Taken. Television viewers can also find her on Harper's Island.

A Nightmare on Elm Street begins rolling next month in the Chicago area and hits theaters on April 16, 2010.

This could actually be the remake to end all remakes...but who I am kidding?

At least it isn't Nic Cage playing Freddy.

Bet she lasts longer than the Twilight Boy! And she's hot! This movie is getting better by the minute!

No matter how much you reminagine the movie, Nightmare will never be the same without Robert Englund as Freddy.

that's a very true statement. but i can't judge anything yet due to not having seen the final product. thought they did ok on the friday the 13th remake. not the original by any means but they pulled some decent stuff out for what it was. the same production company is doing the elm st. remake so hopefully they'll make something pretty solid. indeed it does suck that robert englund isn't gonna do it though. the nightmare on elm st. films are by far my favorite franchise.

I also believe Robert Englund is THE Freddy Kreuger, but I do also think he's done all he can with the character. Jackie Earle Haley has that dark intensity, I think he will re-introduce Freddy Kreuger in a way similar to how Heath Ledger re-introduced The Joker. So much potential, should be nothing short of amazing!

I loved her on Supernatural.

Cool! I loved her on Harper's Island and Supernatural. I saw the trailer and it looks good.She's also great on Melrose, she makes the show go round. Good luck, Katie!
