Freddy vs. Jason 2 NEWS

WesReviews · 02-29-2004, 04:27 PM

From DarkHorizons.com...

FREDDY VS. JASON 2 - Jeff Katz has done a 20-page internal treatment. It brings back the "Ash" (Bruce Campbell) character from the EVIL DEAD franchise. New Line is negotiating with CAA/Raimi to see if they can get him into this movie, with the then intent to do EVIL DEAD 4. Shannon & Swift won't be doing this.

I'm somewhat mixed on this news, considering I HATE Army of Darkness, but I'll go see the next Freddy and/or Jason movie no matter what it is or who's in it.

Sounds...interesting.? As long as Bruce Cambell's one liners are better than Freddy's I'm game. And unless its directed by Sam Raimi, it will be bullshit. But I'll watch it anyway.

That is the dumbest thing I have ever heard... Freddy... Jason... and Ash... They always find ways to jam more nails into those coffins, eh.
Instead of wasting all that money on this shit, why don't they use it to make another Evil Dead movie... with JUST Ash!
But thats just me.

Surprise surprise. Milking yet another frachise. When will it ever stop? Oh, I forgot, it won't EVER stop. They gotta keep going until they murder the idea completely.

Here's a dumb question - I wonder who will "win"?

Or do you think they'll leave the end "open"?

I can't see Raimi going for this. I don't know...it just seems like an idea he'd very much be against.

???

one was bad enough. God help us all if some executive decides this is a good idea.

02-29-2004, 09:35 PM

i could see this actually being okay, but i think bruce would have to carry this flick with both shoulders. and raimi should definitely direct.

02-29-2004, 09:48 PM

No wonder they had to put Ash into the mix... if it was just Freddy and Jason it'd be the first film all over again! I mean, what more can they do with this already stale concept? Sure, Freddy Vs. Jason was fun but one was enough!

dwatts · 02-29-2004, 10:29 PM

The chances of Raimi directing this, surely, are minus zero.

Jason Reynolds · 02-29-2004, 11:12 PM

I'm a big fan of all three franchises and of the Freddy vs. Jason flick, but I don't see the need for a FvJ follow-up. \

I would like to see Evil Dead 4 however, though I seriously doubt it'll ever happen with Raimi off doing big budget Hollywood flicks these days.

I just want another Friday the 13th.
FvJ was a ANOES with a guest appearance by Jason.

That is pretty much what I thought too. I can't see him directing this or Evil Dead 4. I am not sure that I blame him either. I really think the first 3 Evil Dead movies are great, I don't want them to come along at this late date and muck them up.

That said, I can't pretend that more Ash isn't tempting. I am just not sure it is a very good idea. I don't want a Halloween Resurrection on the Evil Dead series damn it.

Bah.

Is there truly ANY doubt that Bruce couldn't carry this flick? I'll be first in line if he's in it....

Yeah, it really did feel that way.

It's not an impossible movie because Campbell/Raimi/Talbert own the character rights to Ash, although they don't own the franchise. But if they're never going to bother making another good movie out of these three franchises, then why not let them have some fun?

Plus I don't think Raimi thinks himself too good to go back to horror, he's talked about doing an original horror movie after Spider-Man and his production company still produces them.

F vs. J was a bad idea that turned out pretty good, IMO. I'm really not sure a sequel would be a great idea though. Whatever they do, I'm sucker enough to go to the theaters to see it.
