Freddy vs Jason 2 - Its Coming, Just As We Said!

Posted by:

Over a month ago we reported that the movie will be made (read the news here), then there were rumors that is was not happening. Well it seems that our source was well informed, cause now "Freddy vs. Jason 2" is coming.

Mr. D from Bloody Disgusting was able to speak to Robert Englund during an advance screening of David Grove's "2001 Maniacs" and asked him about FvsJ 2. So here's the latest scoop on the FvsJ 2 front.

"Robert told me obviously now that the Ash idea is dead (thanks Raimi- poo on you!) there are a few ideas generating, and Robert is meeting this week with some development folks over at New Line to discuss his ideas for a sequel, whether they use them or not. Robert talks fast and throws a million things out quicker than you can digest, so I'll try my best to translate what he said- but the idea may be off a little here or there:

He mentioned Michael Myers and 'Halloween'- but he wasn't hinting at anything, so don't worry. He loves the idea of a strong teenager fighting against the evil along with a strong mother i.e. Laurie Strode in 'Halloween' and Laurie Strode in 'H20.' So from what I gathered he'd like to have a pair of strong female leads - or maybe even two pairs- pit up against the two big dead dogs. I'm wondering if this has anything to do with the 'Hack N' Slash' rumor floating around or if it's just Robert's wild imagination. Either way...

'Freddy vs Jason 2' is still going to happen- and you heard it here first. Just keep in mind that Robert is loaded with ideas, so this is just something he'd like New Line to work with- it does not mean this is the story line they are working with. I just wanted to be clear."

I really liked the first movie and can't wait to see the sequel. With that said we want to thank our source for feeding us the original scoop on the fact that Freddy Vs Jason 2 is coming. We are quite pleased we were the first to bring this to the readers. Also want to thank BD for confirming the fact that yes Freddy vs Jason 2 is in the works, and that the MoviesOnline Scooper was correct.
