UPDATE: B-D Ignites Freddy Krueger Casting Rumors….
UPDATE #2: We received confirmation from Producer Brad Fuller that both stories are FALSE and that casting has yet to begin on New Line’s reboot. I was laughing my ass off when I saw this, but Latino Review is reporting that Jackie Earle Haley (Watchmen) is your new Freddy Krueger. Why did I find it so funny? Well, because Haley was OUR choice as the new Freddy Krueger in our Bloody-Disgusting casting call from January 12th for A Nightmare on Elm Street. In addition, various idiotic celebrity sites are posting fake quotes and confirmation that Lindsey Lohan is starring in the film. They are even claiming that this is confirmed by the producers of the film, which is 100% bogus. Don’t believe ANYTHING you hear unless it’s confirmed in one of the trades or here on B-D. Shooting is slated to begin in the next few months.From Jeff Otto casting call on B-D: “Jackie Earle Hayley – Yes, it’s true, Hayley played a child molestor in his career-resurging role as Ronnie J. McGorvey in Little Children, but that’s not the only reason he’s the perfect man to reinvigorate the legendary dream killer. Hayley’s career is on the upswing and, let’s be realistic here, he is pretty creepy looking! The footage we’ve seen of him so far in Watchman as Rorschach looks pretty bad-ass and he just finished shooting a role as a mental patient for Martin Scorsese in Shutter Island. Good enough for Marty, good enough for Freddy Krueger. Hayley is the perfect choice to create a darker, more maniacal, scarier Freddy like the character that was first envisioned by Craven in the early ‘80s. ”
The Fall franchise heads to a new location with new characters in the upcoming Fall 2: Deadpoint, and a brand new official poster has been unleashed this morning.
Additionally, a new Fall 2 trailer is promised for tomorrow. Stay tuned.
Releasing in theaters on September 2, 2026, horror sequel Fall 2: Deadpoint is rated PG-13 for “strong language, some violent content/bloody images and drug material.”
Harriet Slater (Tarot) stars in the upcoming Fall 2: Deadpoint alongside Arsema Thomas (“Queen Charlotte: A Bridgerton Story”) and Tom Brittney (Greyhound).
Michael & Peter Spierig (Predestination, Jigsaw) direct Fall 2: Deadpoint from a script by Fall writers Scott Mann (who also directed the original) and Jonathan Frank.
From the survival hit that tapped into the fear of heights and left friends stranded at the top of a tower comes a climb that goes higher, gets deadlier, and hits with next-level adrenaline.
In Fall 2: Deadpoint, two friends take on new heights in Thailand, where unpredictable terrain, extreme exposure, and nowhere to hide push survival further than ever before.
Overwhelmed by her sister Hunter’s death, Jax (Slater) connects with Luce (Thomas), Hunter’s fearless friend. To heal, they attempt the infamous plank walk of Mount Kwan in Thailand.
After a sudden rockslide leaves them stranded on a fragile plank 3000 feet in the air, Jax must confront her deepest fears and fight for survival to find closure.
Fall 3 has already been greenlit, with Mann returning to the director’s chair. The first Fall was a surprise hit in theaters, scaring up $18 million at the worldwide box office back in 2022.
