Friday 25th July 2003: Freddy Vs Jason Update:
Robert Englund has been talking about the upcoming Freddy v Jason. Speaking
in a recent interview, when asked whether Freddy undergoes a sort of
metamorphosis, the actor replied: “He has to go under water because he’s in
some of Jason’s dreams, he is trying to find out what makes Jason tick, to
get into his brain, find out what makes him the monster that he is. I wind
up at the lake a lot. We shot the scenes in Canada at this gorgeous lake, it
was like being in Switzerland. In the fall it got really cold and then I had
to double on the gluing, so water wouldn’t get under the make-up, they
didn’t want me looking like a balloon. That was pretty rough because it took
forever to get that make-up off of me.”

Tuesday 22nd April 2003: Freddy Vs Jason Update:
Just received an update on what the plot (and I say again who cares what the plot is..give me gore!!!!) "The movie starts on Elm St. The parents have been drugging the children there with dream suppressants to keep them safe from Freddy. Powerless, Freddy rouses Jason in the hopes that Jason will cause all new nightmares for the teens there. Unfortunately Freddy quickly loses control of Jason when he starts killing all of Freddy's intended victims. The teens caught between the two try to pit them against each other.Thus Frddy and Jason will go at it." Thanks to BloodFan!

Monday 21st April 2003: Freddy Vs Jason Update:
Robert Englund has been talking about Freddy Vs Jason and also talks of more movies "We'll [director] Ronny [Yu] would like to do a whole series of Freddy vs Jason movies. He believes this is the start of a new series. If it happens, great. I think we will all be back. We had such a great time on this movie, it's going to be far from a chore to draw everyone back for seconds. Who knows maybe we might even see another solo Freddy movie again, if that's what the fans want." He was then asked about rumours of a prequel "That's the plan yes. Ronny has sort of taking on a new surrogate father role to Freddy Krueger and Jason, so if any more solo movies come along, he's already told the studio he wants first option on directing them. I've always thought a Freddy prequel would be a wonderful idea, and now with Exorcist, the time feels right. That would be great fun, if only because I'll only be in make-up for like a quarter of the picture. Let's see how Freddy vs Jason does first thought before we get too excited. But yes, it's definitely something Ronny and I have been talking about"

Wednesday 2nd April 2003: Freddy Vs Jason Update:
Katharine Isabelle who features in Freddy Vs Jason has been talking about the movie and she's not that thrilled "I hate to say it, but I was really expecting a little bit more. It's just the same-old, same-old. There's nothing to it ? it's all about running around and screaming, 'No, Freddy, don't!' I can't say too much about it because I get really angry. My death scene is kind of gross. I guess that's what happens in a Freddy vs. Jason movie."

Monday 17th March 2003: Freddy Vs Jason Update:
Has the trailer for Freddy Vs Jason been showing in front of Willard...it might have been "I was on the Fangoria Message board. In one of the post " I just saw Willard " I read that some have seen the FvsJ trailer in front of the Willard movie. This could just be a joke, but one of them gave a pretty realistic description. Some claim they saw Willard and saw no F vs J trailer. Is it possible that New Line only released it to a few theatres to test it out?" Thanks to Slayride!

Wednesday 12th March 2003: Freddy Vs Jason Update:
Freddy Vs. Jason director Ronny Hu has been talking about the movie. He says
New Line was looking for a "director who's never seen an Elm Street or
Friday film" in order to start fresh. As for the relationship between Freddy
and Jason in the horror flick, he adds: "Freddy's scared of fire and Jason's
scared of water, which is as elemental as it gets. There's also a great
theme of revenge and not messing with someone's mother, because Jason goes
crazy when Freddy messes with his mother."

Monday 9th February 2003: Freddy Vs Jason Update:
The release date for Freddy Vs Jason has been set as August 15th 2003 in the US.

Tuesday 31st December 2002: Jason vs Freddy Update:
I've got a buddy that works for a major talent agency in Hollywood and last year he got me two scripts that he said were being considered for the new Jason VS Freddy movie. To me, it looks like script # 1 is what they're actually filming. Here's how "baby Jason" gets involved : Little Jason busts in on Mom (Mrs. Voorhees) in bed with, you got it Freddy! Before he was condemned as the child murder when know him as in A Nightmare on Elm Street. Jason turns out to be Freddy's 1st victim! It was Krueger who nearly drown Jason at Camp Crystal Lake. Jason survives, but can only exist in a rem-state that's much like a walking dream, they try to claim that he simply isn't aware that all the murders he committed were real! The Screenplay is good, but the writer tries to hard to make Jason a fatality of Freddy's, so that he can easily become the sympathetic character needed to face Freddy at the films end. 'Thanks to David'.

and.....

My father is helping on the set of Freddy vs. Jason and also they are thinking of naming the movie The Friday the 13th Nightmare. 'Thanks to Yolanda'.

Friday 6th December 2002: Freddy Vs Jason Update:
JoBlo.com scored an exclusive interview with Robert Englund today which can be read here Here's a few of the highlights, thanks to Berge for the info - Englund's description of the film's style? "It's like some gorgeous, twisted, violent Dutch comic book you know-- Asian, Cyber Japanese Cyber Punk, illustrated comic book with Scorsese camera angles, Orson Wells camera angles and film noir style...it's REALLY interesting! There's also lots of different colors plays, kind of like Paul Schrader's style. It's just really a great classy, violent popcorn movie. I've been calling it a gourmet popcorn that's spelled...G-O-R-E. Englund also dropped a hint about "Freddy meeting baby Jason" in the film, and when prodded about how many "old school" fans are afraid that the new film is basically gonna sell out to the new generation, Englund replied: "Freddy is less funny (here)...and there's more violence and more twisted shit in this film than in the last 4 Freddy movies." Read the rest of the article and there is lots more at JoBlo

Tuesday 26th November 2002: Freddy Vs Jason Update:
I've heard from more than one source that the Freddy Krueger and Jason Vorhees movie, Freddy Vs Jason, is in the process of being re-titled. This guy's father is apparently working on the movie, and he thinks he knows what the new title will be.

My father is helping on the set of Freddy vs. Jason and also they are thinking of naming the movie The Friday the 13th Nightmare.

Thanks to 'H'.

Now take that with a pinch of salt. We'll try to confirm or deny this as soon as possible.

Saturday 16th November 2002: Freddy vs. Jason Update:
Robert Englund has been talking about the currently filming Freddy Vs Jason "I always thought the real trick of 'Freddy vs. Jason' [is that] you had to get into Jason's nightmares. We've got to see what makes Jason tick. In this movie we get in there. And Freddy's walking around in there, getting his feet dirty. And it's pretty sick stuff...Freddy's at loose ends to get people afraid of him anymore, [because] if you don't dream, Freddy can't hurt you. Freddy's trying to regenerate himself and he's using Jason to instill fear in the relatives of the offspring of the original Elm Street vigilantes. Freddy needs to manipulate Jason, and when he's in the dreams he can. What happens is that Freddy creates a Frankenstein. ... Freddy kind of spoils him, gives him a little too much dog food and he kind of turns on his master. And that's the gist of the plot watching the carnage unfold as Freddy and Jason wreak havoc. Now it's [like the TV show] 'Millennium' - serial-killer creepy. It's Freddy's scrapbook. It's what Freddy was doing [in the boiler room] before they threw the Molotov cocktails. I'm also going to do this scene right when he gets off with the hung jury, when my lawyer gets me off"

Saturday 19th October 2002: Freddy Vs Jason Update:
Director Ronny Yu has been talking some more about the currently filming Freddy Vs Jason movie "The action will be fast, pacing will be fast but it depends what you mean by Hong Kong style action. Like Crouching Tiger, no. Definitely not because I think the audience would be disappointed. You have two guys like flying everywhere? No, no, no. But some very dynamic action, yes. I think that seeing less is better. That's what Wes was telling Englund all the time. Seeing less is better, more scarier.

Wednesday 16th October 2002: Freddy Vs Jason Update:
Ronny Hu has been revealing some details of filming on the upcoming Freddy Vs Jason movie "Last night was the first time I worked with Robert Englund. After we wrapped, he said, 'Ronny, the way you make movies is different.' How do you mean different? 'Different from American or European directors. You don't go the normal way like doing a master, then coverage and da da da da da. You just say what you need and what reaction you need, act scared and jump up.' I said, 'What's so different?'" New Line wanted a fresh look to Jason, so we hired this guy from Vancouver who actually doubled for Kane. Freddie's the same. I like to have a little bit of humor in all my movies. It doesn't matter what genre. I need the audience when they're sitting there to feel it's a fun thing. So that's why I insist in Bride Of Chucky that they have a lot of fun, like humor, even though it's a nasty humor. Still, you laugh and say, 'Ooh, that's nasty.' But still you laugh."

Monday 14th October 2002: Freddy Vs Jason Update:
It has been annnounced that the stunt work on the upcoming Freddy Vs Jason is being coordinated by Chuck Jeffreys who has previously worked on Spiderman and Blade.

Saturday 12th October 2002: Freddy Vs Jason Update:
Director Ronny Yu has been talking about the controversy over the recasting of Jason in the upcoming Freddy Vs Jason "I'm totally neutral because I don't know Kane and I'm not that familiar with that franchise anyway, so for me it's just an actor. Whomever the studio wants [is fine]. When I did Chucky, I didn't know anything about Child's Play. That's exactly what the producers from Chucky and the producers from Freddy vs. Jason want. They want a fresh angle, a director with a different style"

It should be a really, really fun part. I'm really excited about it.”

Monday 19th August 2002: Freddy Vs Jason Update:
kane Hodder will not be returning as Jason in the upcoming Freddy Vs Jason movie and this is what New Line had to say about it. First off Jason will be more sympathetic (as sympathetic as a madman can be?) They are looking for an actor who "who can emote pain and anguish over the loss of a loved one... [we're looking for] someone with poetic eyes." The idea is to make Jason a "sad, pathetic, Phantom of the Opera-type character".

20th May 2002: Freddy Vs Jason Update:
Creature Corner report that Ronny Yu (Bride Of Chucky, The 51st State) is in talks to direct Freddy Vs Jason for New Line Cinema.


24/4/02
This is a project that has been rumoured to be happening for ages now. With Jason X now in the can and its release iminent, attention once again has shifted to the possibility of combining Friday the 13th's Jason Vorhees with Nightmare On Elm Street's Freddy Krueger in a feature entitled Freddy Vs Jason.

The film is based on a screenplay by Damian Shannon and Mark Swift, and Upcoming Movies state that the film will see Freddy and Jason face off for control of hell.

No director has yet been attached. Those mentioned are the original Blade helmer Stephen Norrington and fature debuter Rob Bottin.

We assume that the roles of Freddy and Jason will go to the actors that made them famous, Robert Englund and Kane Hodder respectively.
