John Connor To Be Killed By Freddy Krueger

Thomas Dekker, you are the hope for the future, the only person who can save the world from the rise of the machines. And now you're going to be a random victim of Freddy Krueger. That's what we call a demotion. The Sarah Connor Chronicles star, according to Shock Til You Drop, is in final negotiations to play Jesse in the Nightmare on Elm Street reboot, which will star Jackie Earle Haley as the iconic terrifying janitor.

The role is apparently a swim team jock type, which may be a nice stretch from John Connor for the actor. But still, I stand by my firm belief that cannon fodder roles in horror movies are no way to start a career. Better luck next time, Dekker.
