I’m one of those guys who was stoked beyond belief when I first heard news of Freddy vs. Jason. In my mind it was too good to be true. As it turns out, it was too good to be true… because the movie sucked. But still, the novelty factor alone was pretty cool.
Ever since, huge amounts of people have been wetting themselves for a Freddy vs. Jason vs. Ash film. The project came close a couple of time to becoming a reality, but each time it fizzled. Too bad. But then came word that a Freddy vs. Jason vs. Michael might be a possibility. Well, according to Freddy himself, it could be VERY close… and more than that… it might have John Carpenter in the director’s chair. The folks at Moviehole give us this:
Englund tells MTV that John Carpenter, director of “Halloween”, is in talks with New Line to work out a way to do the oft-rumoured “Freddy Vs. Jason Vs. Michael”. Englund has been keen to bring Myers into the mix for a couple of years now – at one stage even suggesting “Halloween” heroine, Laurie Strode (Jamie Lee Curtis), be reincarnated (she was killed off in “Halloween Resurrection”) for one more bout with her regular adversary, Michael, as well as the two new rogues.
I would have absolutely zero hope that this movie would be any “good”, but like I said earlier, just for the sheer novelty factor, it could be fun to see. But you know what, it doesn’t matter who else you put in there with Freddy and Jason… it won’t be as good or as fun as it would have been if they had put Bruce Campbell in there as Ash to do battle with them. Sigh… oh well… I guess Michael will do.
