Freddy vs. Jason vs. Ash (from the Evil Dead) just might be a “go”. Sam Raimi is in talks with New Line Cinema to make another franchise crossover pic.
After all, Freddy Vs. Jason was a surprise hit, and this is the weekend when Alien Vs. Predator had a box office bonanza. (Did you notice that Roger Ebert didn’t even review it? What’s up with that? What did he think this is, Jackass: The Movie?)
I sure hope this happens. I’ve little appreciation for Freddy K, and I’ve never even seen a Friday the 13th movie (guy in hockey mask unstoppably butchers teens – what’s the big deal?), but how groovy would it be to see Bruce Campbell telling Jason, “Hail to the King, baby!” You also have him against Freddy, the guy who swallows souls, which lends itself to another catchphrase moment.
In lieu of a Evil Dead IV, this would do. Heck, it would be just what Raimi and Campbell need to make that picture, finally.
