Yep, can't really tell the "freddy-ness" of him, but the mood of the shot is impressive. I like that they're staying away from a "speed racer" bright color scheme, and aesthetic. I like the claws, the chalkboard, the feel of the whole thing. Just could use more freddy face.

I just wish there werent so much shadow. But still we can see the new Freddy. I like the claws as well. They look bad ass. Another picture of Freddy will be shown IGN.com later this afternoon Brad Fuller said this on Twitter "okay- we all know that the first image of JEH as Freddy will be on myspace.com- Here is surprise number 2.this afternoon there will be another look of Jackie as Freddy on IGN!"

TEASE! I'm grateful for an actual screenshot, but I wanna see his face! Atleast he still looks like the old Freddy- I was worrieds for a little bit.

I like the pic but did they blur out his face? Damn tease!

Same here. I'm not impressed. I could've done without the pic. I hope the pic at IGN this afternoon will be great. However, I am glad they kept the sweater and hat. I was thinking they were going the New Nightmare direction in terms of apperance.

Yeah Freddy running around in a trench coat would of ruined it for me.

Oh! If you go to the myspace homepage and click on the "Featured" tab- look at the preview pic! It shows light hitting his face! They purposely darkened his face in the full thing.

I found this info at IGN for a further description of the new look of Freddy "Overall, Freddy's appearance is less that of the freshly-burned killer and more like a man who's had a short time to heal. The skin is pulled and misshapen, flesh-toned in places and red-raw in others. Patches of green-rubber suggest areas of deeply worn sinew along the cheeks and jaws, executed in post-production, suggesting something similar to the gaping wounds in Dark Knight's Harvey Dent. The ears are almost non-existent, but the eyes are unobscured, allowing Jackie to emote effectively. In fact, the whole look, while horrifying in one context, is also, in another sense, rather sympathetic and wholly real. We can imagine that it will allow an actor such as Jackie Earl Haley a greater range of emotion, depending upon his portrayal."
