Bloody Disgusting is reporting Rooney Mara, sister to Kate Mara, is in final negotiations to star as Nancy Thompson in the A Nightmare on Elm Street remake, the role made famous by Heather Langenkamp in the 1984 original.
The fact “Bloody Disgusting” was spot on with both the casting of Jackie Earle Haley as the new Freddy Krueger and Kyle Gallner who will play Quentin for this new Nightmare leads me to believe this is solid intel. Another bit of casting that surfaced recently, but was too small to mention, was news Thomas Dekker, best known for playing TV’s John Connor in Fox’s likely-to-be-canceled “Terminator: The Sarah Connor Chronicles,” has joined the cast as Jesse.
The remake is already set for a April 16, 2010 release and is expected to keep the high school setting and delve deeper in the psychology of nightmares and Freddy Krueger himself.
