1134.0. "Jason vs. Freddy" by ABACUS::FORTIN_C (Worked the Bars and Sideshows) Tue Jul 16 1996 21:24

    
        Any truth to the rumor that there's a movie in the works where
        Freddy (nightmare on elm street) battles Jason (Friday the 13th).
    
        Two different people told me a movie was being made and the basis
        of the movie was a fight between these two killers.
    
        It makes some sense, I guess, because at the end of Fri. the 13th
        Part Million (or whatever the last one was), Jason's mask is
        laying in the dirt and Freddy's razor-clawed hand comes up and
        grabs the mask.
    
        Any idea if this is true???
    
    
    
    Well, FWIW, I figure Jason would have to be favored in this battle
    because he's killed more people, but then again, he's been killed more
    often than Freddy also.

1134.1	Hope it's for real	HOTLNE::S_COLLINS		`Wed Jul 17 1996 04:57`	16
	I hear the same rumors also. New Line Cinema now owns the rights to the Friday the 13th series(Paramount Pictures were the previous and original owners). N.L.C. also owns the rights to the Nightmare on Elm Street series. So, I guess this would be the perferct oppurtunity for the studio to match these two killers together. Insiders say that the makers of the new film are waiting for the script to be completed. Never know though, it could already be finished. Note> The previous Jason film," Jason goes to Hell" was the first Friday the 13th film made by New Line Cinema. The others were Paramount Pictures.
1134.2	Who will win?	FABSIX::S_MCCORMICK	Boston Strangler TA/FC...Pager #672	`Thu Jul 18 1996 02:59`	6
	How about predictions? Personally I think Freddy can kick Jason's ass anyday! :) Scott.
1134.3		POLAR::LYLE	When 911 won't work, a .357 will!!	`Thu Jul 18 1996 04:55`	6
	I agree. Freddy will kick butt. But how can a monster that can't die kill a monster that can't die?? Dave

	I worked at Spooky World for a couple of years, and Kane Hodder (Jason in the last three movies) was hinting about a new Jason movie two years ago. E Grace

	> But how can a monster that can't die kill a monster that can't die?? Maybe monsters that can't die can only be killed by monsters that can't die ? Simes %^)
1134.6		KERNEL::PLANTC	The Truth is out there.....	`Thu Jul 18 1996 08:27`	11
	I have an idea on that...but it involves time travel. same way that Superman killed Doomsday finally. tranport them to the point in time where the universe is destroyed and there is no time. Why not...the rest of the movie is just as credible! :)) Chris :)
1134.7	Cage match?	FABSIX::R_LUCHT	Ten Feet Tall and Bulletproof	`Thu Jul 18 1996 09:19`	4
	Maybe Candyman and Mike Myers will challenge them to a tag team match, with Chuckie refing the bout. Rich.......
1134.8		KERNEL::PLANTC	The Truth is out there.....	`Thu Jul 18 1996 09:54`	9
	Chuckie...what ever happened there.... they were set up for another sequel when he got zapped in the toy factory filled with good guy dolls! Chris :)

	Friday the 13th Part 10 FAQ: The Freddy vs. Jason Movie Possible spoilers EVERYTHING IN THIS FAQ IS TENTATIVE AND SUBJECT TO EXTREME CHANGE. LARGE THANKS GOES TO TWISTER360@AOL.COM FOR HIS INFORMATION. I. Title and Basics Final Official Title: Freddy vs. Jason Release Date: 1996 MPAA Rating: R MPAA Registration No: Running Time: minutes Distributor(s): New Line Cinema II. Cast and Crew Cast of Characters Alice From Nightmare 4 & 5 - Jessica Kimble - Kari Keegan Steven Freeman - Brain D. LeMay Main Crew Written and Directed by - Peter Briggs III. Plot Summary It starts off in 17th century Italy and concerns the end of the universe. Jason and Freddy are pawns in a very large game. It's set in 1999, starring Alice from Nightmare on Elm Street and Steven and Jessica from Jason Goes to Hell, and probably their children as well. IV. Production History Writing reached a head in 1999. New Line's buying of Jason and production of Jason Goes to Hell was all in preparation for this movie. Freddy effects will all be kept Large slasher scene in the first 20 minutes that's larger than that in part 5 (the largest) Promises of a big surprise await (lemme guess... Michael Myers?) New look for both characters - darker, more sinister Freddy - chrome mask, devilbaby Jason Briggs wants this to end the characters forever. V. Cast and Crew Special Biographies Everything's tentative, so this section must wait. VI. Adaptation Differences Nothing yet, but I doubt this will end the horror titans forever. Some kindof rewrite at the end will allow for them to survive. VII. Timeline / Mythos Contributions * Takes place in 1999, 8 years after Dream Child and Jason Goes to Hell. VIII. Coroner's Report None yet, but promises to be large :).

	<==== Ha! and i was just kidding about the end of the universe. :))) Chris :)
1134.11	'Bout freakin time!!!!	POLAR::LARABIE	Can't talk to psychos	`Mon Feb 03 1997 08:28`	7
	IMDB has a release date of 1997, not very specific but better than nothing, I guess. Didn't have time to check out the plot summary, (actually didn't even notice if they had one) Ah well, we shall see..................
