Shocktillyoudrop has learned that Thomas Dekker is in final negotiations to join the cast of A Nightmare on Elm Street (2010). Dekker is best know for playing the young John Connor on the television show Terminator: The Sarah Connor Chronicles and got his start at a young age in John Carpenter's Village of the Damned.

If signed Dekker will play "Jesse," a jock on the swim team. The Platinum Dunes' remake begins shooting next month in Chicago.

I just caught this in the Chicago Daily Observer, "A local casting agency is looking for extras for the newest Nightmare on Elm Street film, which will be shooting in Chicago starting May 5 and on into July according to an announcement on their site."

Here is the official casting call from Atmosphere Casting in Chicago.

NOW CASTING:

"A Nightmare On Elm Street"

There is no arguing that Freddy Krueger is one of the biggest horror icons in history, but in my opinion you're still not crap until you earn the title of Official Traumatizer from one of the best horror websites on the Internet, Kindertrauma.com.

Check out Freddy's official induction as an Official Traumatizer here, then do yourself a favor and check out the rest of Kindertrauma. You will NOT be disappointed.

It has been officially confirmed that Kyle Gallner (Veronica Mars,The Haunting in Connecticut) will play, Quentin, one of the "lead" teens in Platinum Dunes' remake of A Nightmare on Elm Street in 2010.

Kyle is also known for playing Impulse on Smallville and is in the upcoming Diablo Cody, (Juno) horror/comedy Jennifer's Body in theaters September 18, 2009.

Glen Lantz (1962-1981) is the boyfriend of Nancy Thompson played by Johnny Depp.

When Nancy's drunk mother locks her in her own home, Nancy must watch Lantz die at the hands of Freddy, helplessly, from her window across the street. Check out the clip below.
