Variety is reporting that Kyle Gallner will be a part of the new Freddy Krueger/”A Nightmare On Elm Street” film as Quentin, one of the lead teens in the film, which stars Jackie Earle Haley (“Watchmen”) as the legendary horror icon Freddy Krueger.

Samuel Bayer is directing, and Wesley Strick wrote the script. Platinum Dunes’ Michael Bay, Brad Fuller and Andrew Form are producing, and John Rickard is co-producing. Galner is also starring in the upcoming comedy “Cherry,” as well as Fox Atomic’s comedy thriller “Jennifer’s Body” from Diablo Cody.

Gallner recently appeared in “The Haunting In Connecticut” alongside Virginia Madsen and Elias Koteas.

A reboot of the much-beloved horror franchise from Wes Craven has been in talks since 2008, and Haley was confirmed to fill Robert Englund’s iconic role as the clawed and scarred ghost Freddie Kruger in the beginning of April.

The film is scheduled for release April 10th, 2010.
