Johnny Depp accompanied his friend Jackie Earle Haley to auditions for A Nightmare on Elm Street (1984). Instead of Haley being chosen for a role, it was Depp who was spotted by director Wes Craven, who asked him if he would like to read for a part. Depp got a part in that film, Haley didn't, but Haley would go on to play Freddy in this remake 26 years later.

Q
When did we see the first teaser trailer?
A
A trailer of sorts was screened at the 2009 San Diego Comic-Con. However, according to bloody-disgusting.com and Producer Brad Fuller's official blog, Warner Bros. decided not to release the Comic-Con footage online, at least for the time being. Due to tight security at the screening, no bootleg versions of the Comic-Con trailer have appeared online. The first official teaser was finally released online the night of September 27th, 2009 .This teaser is different from the one seen at Comic-Con, although it features some of the same material, and runs approx. two minutes long. The theatrical trailer was released online on February 25, 2010 and is approx. two and a half minutes long.
Q
Do we see Freddy Krueger before he haunted people's dreams?
A
Yes, there are flashbacks that show the pre-burnt Freddy. In this new film, Freddy is supposed to be a friendly preschool gardner who lives at the school and secretly molests the children in the basement of the school. There is also a dream sequence where Freddy shows one of the characters how he was burnt.
Q
Is this film a remake, re-imagining, sequel, or prequel to the original film?
A
A Nightmare on Elm Street is a re-imagining loosely based on the 1984 horror classic A Nightmare on Elm Street, retaining the core concept and premise but taking place in its own separate continuity. Due to the term "remake" gaining a certain stigma in the eyes of some film-goers, producers have been reluctant to directly label the film as such. Before being greenlit, plans were considered for a prequel to the original film, as well as a sequel to Freddy vs. Jason, but both projects fell through in favor of the current reboot.
