Bruce Campbell Shuts Down All Hope For FREDDY VS JASON Sequel

Bruce Campbell Shuts Down All Hope For FREDDY VS JASON Sequel

It seems that those who were holding out hope for a Freddy vs. Jason vs. Ash film can put those expectations to rest, at least if Bruce Campbell is to be believed.

A crossover with Evil Dead was first teased in 1993, when the Necronomicon (a device from the Evil Dead films) was seen in Jason Goes To Hell, the prelude film to Freddy vs. Jason. Since Freddy vs. Jason was released, two Freddy vs. Jason vs. Ash graphic novels have been published by DC Comics, though many horror fans were still hoping to see the three-way brawl play out on the big screen, despite all three franchises having received reboots in 2009, 2010, and 2013 respectively. When the 2013 reboot of The Evil Dead was ignored so that Bruce Campbell could reprise his role as Ash in the Ash vs. Evil Dead television series, it may have seemed to some that a Freddy vs. Jason vs. Ash film might still be in the realm of possibility. Well, not according to Campbell.

When a Twitter user joked that a recent sports game had restored his hope in Freddy vs. Jason vs. Ash and that "Anything is possible," Campbell responded with the following:

Agreed. Except that. https://t.co/AjYfbnJIdB

Interestingly enough, this is not the first time that Campbell has expressed skepticism for the possibility for a Freddy vs. Jason vs. Ash film. Back in 2013, Campbell told ComicBook.Com that "We had that conversation with New Line Cinema and it went something like this, Breep [mimicking telephone ringing] Oh. look it’s New Line Cinema. Hello. 'Hi, this is New Line Cinema. We'd like to make Ash Vs. Jason Vs. Freddy.' Great idea, then Ash can kill Jason and Freddy once and for all. Hello? That was it. That was the conversation." Regardless, Campbell currently stars as Ash in Ash vs. Evil Dead. Another Friday the 13th reboot is planned for an October 2017 release, while the A Nightmare On Elm Street franchise appears to be dead at the moment.

@TheRealMandarin -
Meh. I'd rather see a sequel or rematch than see them use the awful remake versions. And the 2017 reboot of the reboot of Friday the 13th is almost certainly going to suck. It's from the same producers as the 2009 reboot, it's been delayed 500 times already, and it's going to explore the secret origins and why Jason can't die (as if that actually needs an explanation).

Nightmare On Elm Street Should stay dead if Robert Englund isn't involved.

There's potential for a great Nightmare On Elm Street film given today's advancements in technology. Although Robert Englund pretty much is Freddy Kruger, I don't think he's entirely un-replaceable.

What's funny about that is that Bacon actually played a role in the original Friday the 13th. I thought that was a fun coincidence.

@Darkknight2149 - Yep, arrow through the throat.
Remember Laurence Fishburne being an orderly in Dream Warriors?

Should go for any of the following........

-Freddy Vs Jason Vs Michael Myers
-Freddy Vs Jason Vs Michael Myers Vs Leatherface
-Freddy Vs Jason Vs Michael Myers Vs Leatherface Vs Pinhead

@marvel72 - Myers and Leatherface would bite the dust first

Jason would stand a lot of pain and torture but would fall.

Freddy vs Pinhead.. that is a tough one

marvel72 - 11/3/2016, 6:34 PM
@KikinGonzalez - Pinhead is the f*cking man.

@marvel72 - I agree! most underrated super natural villain of the movies
thor2273
thor2273 - 11/3/2016, 6:39 PM
@KikinGonzalez - As much as I love Freddy, I think Pinhead would win because he's a masochist but it'd be tough.

@KikinGonzalez - Candyman doesn't get enough credit ether IMO.

@thor2273 - totally agree. I think the same.

We need a new good Hellraiser movie... pronto!

@KikinGonzalez - Yep.

It should be noted that Pinhead and Michael Myers are owned by other studios. That being said, I would like to see Michael fight Jason at some point. There is a new Hellraiser film coming in 2017 called Hellraiser: Judgment.

@Darkknight2149 - Is it a new movie because I thought it was a remake of the original?

I've got this amazing boxed set of the first three movies.

It's another sequel. There was a remake announced, but I think it's in development hell (no pun intended).

Darkknight2149 - 11/3/2016, 8:57 PM
That looks like a cool box set, though.
