Here is something I found on the internet today. This was a off-the-wall attempt to do a movie of Freddy vs Jason off of Brannon Braga & Ronald D. Moore’s screenplay. The title would be Jason Vs Freddy. The plot would be Jason was captured, arrested and be on trial for his crimes for all the murders he did.
Of course it would be based of Jason in human form, not zombie form. Which will more than likely be the first three films. They would do this because they would try to use it based on true events. They can make the killer in their own image.
"The artwork is by Crash Cunningham for His Name Was Jason – does not actually take place in the script. The most action we see of Jason in the courtroom is ironically inflicted on Jason himself."
Here is a sample of the script below.
"Suddenly there’s a gasp that goes around the room and everyone stops talking. Ruby looks up to see so being led in by six deputies, heavily armed. Jason is shackled and shuffles across the courtroom, finally being seated at
the defense table. In the harsh light of day, Jason’s scarred and twisted features are shocking -- it looks like he’s been through a meat-grinder. Again, Jason seems passive, staring off into middle-distance, completely disconnected from the world around him.
BAILIFF
All rise. The Superior Court for the city and county of Crystal Lake is now in session. Honorable Judge Gillan presiding.
Everyone stands as the JUDGE enters.
JUDGE
Be seated.
Everyone sits down.
BAILIFF
Only one case on the docket, Your Honor. “The People versus Jason Voorhees.”
JUDGE
Will the defendant please rise during the reading of the charges.
Ruby stands and hesitates, afraid to touch Jason, who isn’t moving a muscle.
RUBY
Your Honor, my client... prefers to remain seated.
The Judge peers at Jason in curiosity, then decides not to press the matter.
JUDGE
Very well.
(to Harding)
Are the People ready to proceed?
Harding stands, holding a thick legal document the size of a phone book.
HARDING
Yes, Your Honor. The People make the following charges against the defendant Jason no-middle-initial Voorhees...
(reads)
On Friday, May thirteenth, 1980, the defendant did with malice and forethought murder Annie Wolfe with a bowie knife. The People further charge on that same date, defendant did murder Dorothy Dartland with an axe. On the following morning, the defendant murdered Jack Hayes with a bow and arrow...
As Harding continues to talk, reading off what seems an endless series of victims, we...
DISSOLVE TO:
INT. COURTROOM – DAY
Later. Harding still reading from the endless victims list, people shifting a little restlessly in their seats.
HARDING
Defendant did then murder Robert Smith with a tent pole on February twelfth, 1984... defendant is further charged
with the murder of Lynn Kaplan with a pitchfork...
DISSOLVE TO:
INT. COURTROOM – DAY
Much later, Harding finishes up the list.
HARDING
And finally, most recently Federal Agent Sam McNulty, a law enforcement officer for the Federal Bureau of
Investigation, strangled by the defendant while resisting arrest.
Harding closes the massive file. Relief around the courtroom.
HARDING
That concludes the State’s charges, Your Honor.
The Judge takes a long breath... looks to Ruby.
JUDGE
Is the Defense ready to enter a plea?
RUBY
We are, Your Honor.
(beat)
The Defense pleads... not guilty.
Reactions of disbelief around the courtroom, snickers and outright laughter, it sounds so ridiculous. The Judge raps his gavel with disapproval.
JUDGE
Order... order.
RUBY
The Defense would like to move for a change of venue. We feel that it will be impossible to find an impartial jury in Crystal Lake County or --
Suddenly a MAN stands up in the courtroom -- his face contorted with rage and anger.
ANGRY MAN
You killed my sister, you son of a bitch! You [frick]ing monster!
He pulls out a handgun and FIRES at Jason. People dive for cover.
ANGLE ON JASON
as the BULLETS catch him full in the chest, knocking him out of his chair. The spectators are screaming and crying. The Judge ducks behind his bench. Sheriff’s deputies finally wrestle the man to the ground. Ruby crawls over to Jason, who is lying motionless on the floor, blood pooling nearby. He’s conscious, his eyes- staring around the room with a stunned look.
RUBY
We need an ambulance, now!
Just to give you the heads up, after I read the script this is just drama and comedy. This combination never seems to work. I don't want to spoil anything but feel free to check it out at http://fridaythe13thfilms.com/gallery/displayimage.php?album=29&pos=4. Feel free to express your opinion.
