Bloody-Disgusting has confirmed that an offer was officially made to Dekker to play "Jesse". Thomas Dekker's (video inside) venture into the horror world is getting to his head as he'll be confronting the dream demon in New Line Cinema's A Nightmare on Elm Street reboot, as sources tell Shocktillyoudrop that he's now in final negotiations to star. No official confirmation just yet, but we're working on it. He will star alongside the previously announced Jackie Earle Haley (Freddy Krueger) and Kyle Gallner (Quentin). Besides playing John Connor in Fox's Terminator: The Sarah Connor Chronicles, he's also starred in From Within, Laid to Rest and recently wrapped production on All About Evil. Shooting is slated to begin on the new Nightmare film next month with plans to release it in theaters April 16, 2010.

I had the strange feeling this would happen, but thought his schedule wouldn't permit.

yeah, i'm all for Dekker in this! so far NONE of the casting so far has been bad/lame. we just might have a really good movie shaping up here, folks!

i really couldnt give a crap about the male cast. other than freddy of course. but i'm not familiar with the guy who's playing him. anyway, i really hope they get to the female cast soon, it BETTER be good.

"Bloody-Disgusting has confirmed..." and later they state: "No official confirmation just yet..." haha I just found that funny how contradictory it was... anyways good casting, looks like there actually going for talent and not the WB look ( like friday the 13th, but I still enjoyed that movie lol)...

HatchetFace, i agree w/ you. as much as i DID enjoy the FRIDAY redo, i think the producers have learned their lesson regarding casting choices.

Looks like an "Elm Streeter"

I watched 'Laid To Rest' for the first time yesterday. I liked it, but I thought Dekker was really underused. I didn't recognize him at first because of the drastic change in look; shaved head and plucked eyebrows!

Thomas Dekker Thank God Man I have faith in this kid. It is a shame that Terminator The Sarah Conner Chronicles is getting canceled. But I am delighted to see that he is still at work. I am still anctious to see Laid To Rest. Does anyone think their is a chance of him returning on Heroes

speaking of the girls what about jena malone or ellen paige for nancy or are they too brainy

That's actually pretty cool. He was a pretty good actor in "From Within" and "Laid to Rest", but I don't really care for any of the acting from anyone in that Terminator show. I still watch it, but anyway, good to hear that not only is there finally more people being cast in this movie, but that it's someone with decent acting abilities.

I'm digging the casting so far. But I'm anxious to see where are Nancy and Kris?!??

I hope the girls are good choices, they need one girl with big boobs, big naturals!!

Another top score for this remake. The cast of this one is shaping up rather nicely. Hopefully they dont drop the ball when casting the girls.

very amazing casting so far, glad they don't choose the too popular fuck zach effron and the twilight kids

Nice choice! Dekker is a good actor (not sure about all the gay comments though, what's that matter really!?)... As for the girls, someone mentioned Lohan as Tina??
