Jackie Earle Haley is talking about his role as the dream-stalker Fred Krueger in the upcoming "A Nightmare on Elm Street" remake.

Haley attended the Spike TV 2009 Scream Awards, and took a moment to discuss his role as Krueger and the buzz surrounding the film. The Scream Awards -- honoring the horror, fantasy and sci-fi genres -- airs Oct. 27.

Ive been pretty thrilled with all of the responses, it looks really cool," Haley said in an interview with Bloody-Disgusting, Saturday. "A lot of people wish it was Robert [in the remake] and I get that. Hes made this character iconic and hes iconic as well, its a tough thing and hopefully when the movie comes out people will dig it.

One aspect of the film's trailer that is still undergoing work is Krueger's voice. What you hear in the trailer will be different than the film. Haley is committed to getting it right.

Weve actually been working on that for the last three days, doing some ADR work and will probably continue," he said. "Its a normal process of post-production.

Like the original 1984 Wes Craven film, Krueger stalks a group of suburban teenagers afters their parent's vigilante justice transforms him into an unstoppable entity. As a dream-stalking killer, Krueger leaves no chance to escape for his prey.

And like most "A Nightmare on Elm Street" films, a sequel is a sure bet. Will Haley slip on the glove and sweater again?

You know, I would imagine, Im signed on so well see how it goes, he said. Its looking really good, Ive been in there working on the film and finally seeing some sequences and Im really thrilled with what Sam [Bayer] and the guys are putting together!

"Nightmare On Elm Street" is helmed by first-time director Bayer, and is based on a script by Eric Heisserer and Wesley Strick ("Wolf," "Cape Fear"). Bayer gained acclaim for his commercial and music video work, including the videos for Nirvana's "Smells Like Teen Spirit" and Green Day's "Boulevard of Broken Dreams."

The film hits theaters April 30, 2010, and stars Kyle Gallner (Jennifer's Body"), Rooney Mara (Urband Legends: Bloody Mary"), Thomas Dekker ("Laid To Rest", "Terminator: The Sarah Connor Chronicles"), Kellan Lutz ("The Twilight Saga: New Moon), Katie Cassidy ("Taken," "Supernatural"), Clancy Brown (The Burrowers") and Connie Britton.
