Jackie spoke to MTV about his role in the upcoming "Human Target" TV series (based on the DC Comic), Jackie confirmed that he is playing a new character and he says that his appearance in two Comic Book properties making their way to the big screen is only a coincidence.
“In working on ‘Watchmen,’ I feel like I'm starting to understand that Comic-Con world,” Haley told MTV News. “The way people get into movies and television shows — it’s just awesome. I recently saw ‘Star Trek,’ and I had a nerdgasm watching it. It was just so cool.”
Jackie admitted he knew nothing of the “Human Target” comics before taking on the roll, but will definitely be learning up on the adventures of the series main character, Christopher Chance.
This from MTV news "We also had to ask Haley about the dueling release dates for his upcoming turn as Freddy Krueger and that of the next project for his “Watchmen” co-star Jeffrey Dean Morgan — a big-screen adaptation of the DC/Vertigo series “The Losers.” Both films are currently scheduled to hit theaters April 16, 2010.
“I didn't know that!” exclaimed Haley when told about the concurrent premieres for “Nightmare on Elm Street” and “The Losers.”
So, now that he does know, will there be any friendly competition between the former Rorschach and Comedian actors?
“None whatsoever,” said Haley. “I'm looking forward to seeing both, so I think that weekend I'll end up seeing both films.”
