Freddy vs. Jason: The movie
 

Well, after going to the movies this weekend I saw a trailer that blew my mind. It was the trailer for none other than.... Freddy vs. Jason. Anyone remember the buzz of this movie made when it was first mentioned back in the early '90s. Isn't it amazing that about 10 years after it was first mentioned it is being made/released in theaters... Anyway, I have long thought this was just another bit of Hollywood folk lore. Another movie that had be talked about but put in the trashcan to never come out and leave people wondering if the rumors were ever true in the first place (Duke Nukem anyone?).

For all you Freddy fans Robert Englund is returning as Mr. Krueger and Kane Hodder once again plays Jason(About 4 people have played Jason total). However, I haven't seen Wes Kraven's name attached to the film at all. *shrugs*

Also, for those of you wondering this is a brief overview of the film:

"Teenagers find themselves caught in the middle of a dream battle between two famous forces of evil: Freddy Krueger (A Nightmare on Elm Street) and Jason Voorhees (Friday the 13th) go mano y mano, as Freddy enters the dream world of Jason. The movie is said to start on Elm Street before eventually winding its way to Camp Crystal Lake for the final showdown."


Anyway, I plan to see this flick as a "why not" film. I'm not going expecting it to be great or really scary, but I hope it will at least be fun . It will be a little different and maybe with some luck it won't be a waste of 7 bucks. How about the rest of you?

This is going to bomb, stink, and suck. I mean come on!!!!!!!

<a href="http://www.apple.com/trailers/newline/freddy_vs_jason/"> The trailer is located here</a>

Not really a fan of either character, but apparently it's supposed to be pretty good for what it is. Should be some good mindless action.

I can't believe Kane Hodder isn't going to be Jason.

Does it matter, the guy's face is covered by a mask anyway right? :P

This August? I thought they had talked about this years ago when the movies had surpassed all their finales? I'd pay to see this, especially because the quality of special effects in movies has improved drastically since the 70-80s when these movies first came out.

I haven't seen any of the previous incarnations of the characters, but I'm seriously considering this one. Looks like a good waste of 2 hours *grin*

I think it's gonna be great. Obviously it won't be a cinematic masterpiece or anything, but I'm guessing it will be a fun watch.

Yeah, I think they've been talking about it for about a good ten years. This must have gone through rewrite hell...

this is definitely gonna be one of those love it or hate it movies.

I think it'll be cool to see freddie's crazy dreamland with today's technology......

So is Jason laying in a coffin somewhere deaming and that's how Freddy get's an in? I didn't think dead people dreamed..

I think that the idea of putting these two against each other is brilliant. It could be very interesting.

I'll be glued to my seat, with a huge grin on my face.
Dumb entertainment is all I'm expecting.

With those two in it, the movie can't be as crap as Halloween Online.

I'll be checking it out when it comes out. Where's the Alien Vs Predator movie? Now that I would love to see..

Its gonna be crappy, but good.

*camp* as it were.

I will so go see this, just for nostaglia purposes.

It will rule. Sadly, it will probably go straight to video in Sweden.

I thought Jason X was one of the best recent Slasher movies. I think Freddy vs Jason will be another great slasher movie. I'm not saying it will be the best acting and best screenplay.. but damn it will be a FUN movie.

The trailer makes it seem it won't be that bad. But who knows. Either it will be really good or really bad.

This was talked about for years . Even at the end of one of the friday 13th Freddy pulls Jason`s mask into the ground. They have sure took there time hopefully it will be good . Not just stupid humour. We can hope

This looks cool

I watch them all several times and i will go see this one too will probly suck but what can you expect?

I'll be seeing it opening night, drunk out of my mind. That's how I went to Jason X, and loved it. Sober... not so good.

hahaha in a funny way I actually want 2 see this flim if only 1 laugh my ass off but i'll probably wait 4 the DVD

HA! I almost forgot about that. I love it!

It seems to me like the people who are making this movie actually care about the history and quality (for lack of a better word) of the two franchises. I'd bet they've managed to come up with something more creative than Freddy attacking Jason in his sleep. I'm not a huge slasher fan, but I'll be tempted to plop down my $8 for this movie. It'll be good for what it is.

I'll be there :D

Jason vs Michael Myers would be a better fight. Based on what they've accomplished so far, Jason would rip Freddy's head off with one hand.

I'm looking forward to this movie. I just wonder if they will put out two ending on the DVD. One where Jason wins and one where Freddy wins. Should be mindless fun. Also should be # 1 movie the first week it is out.

Saw the trailer at the movies about a week ago. I semeed to be the only one laughing at it. I felt a little out of place. I mean it seems to me like a 7 year old's school yard argument made into a movie. "Freddy could so beat up Jason" "Nuh uh! Jason would hack him into pieces!"

I think it will be fun (shoot the movies about these characters are satirical in the first place)... plus, if you gotta have another movie featuring either one, why not do it with BOTH..

Freddy vs. Jason
 

Seems to be getting positive reviews so far...

I'm not sure i understand exactly what this is about. Is it just Freddy and Jason just trying to kill each other or what? Why is that they get into this fight?

Although I never was into either of the series, this does interest me. I guess it is to see how they mesh the two together, and in the end how is the "best."

looks pretty killer, now all we need is the Alien vs. Predator movie!

It seems like a good idea. I'm still debating whether to go and see it or wait until it comes out on DVD.

Well according to these sites http://www.petesmoviepage.com/release.shtml
http://www.comingsoon.net/moviereleases/aug04.php

It appears to have an august 6, 2004 release date......

I can't wait to see it, it sounds good. The one preview where it talks about their stats is awesome

I don't think the official page would still say August 15 if this were the case.

Hopefully its a good idea...either its gonna be really horrible or somewhat decent or better.

Need to make more cross-overs

Spidey vs X-men.....yadadadada
