Some FREDDY VS. JASON News And Another Test Screening Review!!
SPOILER ALERT !!
Hey, everyone. "Moriarty" here with some Rumblings From The Lab.
It’s a big fat news-packed Monday morning, so I’m going to try and whip through as many stories as I can for you guys before I collapse.
First up, there’s a bit from BloodyDisgusting.com where Robert Englund talks about one of the films that I get tons and tons of e-mail about. If you’re a spoiler freak, check out the new Summer Preview issue of ENTERTAINMENT WEEKLY. There’s a behind-the-scenes gallery of photos, and one of them is from this film’s climax, and it’s pretty revealing. Ronny Yu also refers to the film by its mock-HK title in the same issue: FOUR FINGERS OF DEATH VERSUS THE MACHETE. Anyway, you guys seem to be incredibly interested in any bit of info about this film, so let’s see how this sits with you:
Harry
Bloody Disgusting has a short transcript of Robert Englund’s BBC interview in which he confirmed plans are underway to do a prequel to "nightmare 1" - at last!
"Freddy vs Jason looks superb, heck, it is superb. It wouldn't surprise me if fans of the series see it as the definitive chapter in the Krueger saga", says Englund. "Ronny Yu did such a great job. Like Wes Craven, he has a real eye for detail and assured everyone involved in this film it wasn't going to burst like an overboiled hot water bottle. What he has done is take everyone's favourite aspect of the Freddy character, and everyone's favourite bits of Jason, and combine them into a movie that will surely appeal to everyone. Hey, not just fans! Just wait till you see this thing - it's scary, funny, thrilling... I’m very excited".
Englund then talked about the future.
"Well, Ronny would like to do a whole series of Freddy vs Jason movies. He believes this is the start of a new series. If it happens, great. I think we will all be back. We had such a great time on this movie, it's going to be far from a chore to draw everyone back for seconds".
"Who knows maybe we might even see another solo Freddy movie again, if that's what the fans want".
The interviewer asked about prequel rumors.
"That's the plan yes. Ronny has sort of taking on a new surrogate father role to Freddy Krueger and Jason, so if any more solo movies come along, he's already told the studio he wants first option on directing them. I've always thought a Freddy prequel would be a wonderful idea, and now with Exorcist, the time feels right. That would be great fun, if only because I'll only be in make-up for like a quarter of the picture. Let's see how Freddy vs Jason does first thought before we get too excited. But yes, it's definitely something Ronny and I have been talking about".
Englund also said his favourite Elm street was the first - because it was primarily a scary movie - said he would love to direct something again soon, and reflected a bit on the tv series V.Next up, we’ve got Sexy Bitch and her review of the film based on last week’s test screening. This is, I believe, the first female reaction to the film, and considering that horror films are driven at the box office in large part by women, it’s important to see how they might respond to it. Check this out:
Big ups to Moriarty and Harry. Luv the site. FYI – I’ve seen X2 and agree with all the reviews - it's the real deal and [BIG FAT HONKIN’ SPOILER DELETED] but on to my Thursday night out – FREDDY VS. JASON.
My bf got a screening pass and dragged me along (despite my closet addiction to AICN). I’m not a big horror girl but I have some memories of the characters from my childhood, enough to know Freddy would kick Jason’s ass. I saw H20 in the theatre with friends and enjoyed it, so i was open to checking this out. I can tell you it left H20 in the dust. A much much much better movie. Like a ride. It's not really a scary movie (it has its moments) but more of a fun time (a girl’s got to have an outlet).
There is a lot of blood so if you're not into that be warned. At first i was shocked but then actually got into the carnage.
SPOILERS
Freddy and Jason were both great, with the battle actually being really even. I groaned when I saw the girl from Destiny's Child (why does every female singer now have to be a singer/actress?) but she was actually a lot better than i was expecting. Her death scene was awesome and had the most memorable line in the movie. I got the impression a lot of the people at the screening (it was the Redondo Galleria) were fans as there was cheering for both guys. There’s a lot of pot humor, so expect a HIGH TIMES magazine
nomination for best movie. The main kids were not bad, but Monica Keena from UNDECLARED was too over the top for me. There was a sex scene ending (after the fight ends) that was horrible. One of the worst movie scenes ever. She was moaning and groaning like a porno star and people were laughing at her. My bf and i kept making her noises in the car on the way home. My bf was really pissed that the movie had no tits.
It seems like the movie was all about setting up the fight scenes but I liked them a lot. Freddy kicks Jason’s ass in the dream world and Jason rips Freddy to pieces in the real world. This was the first time i ever thought Jason was remotely interesting cause he’s just a big slug from what I remember. Here he was like a bulldozer and I think a lot of the crowd was rooting for him at the end. Freddy is Freddy and he's got some great lines. The final fight was very bloody, but it was so over the top it was fun. The big highlight for me was a rave where all hell breaks loose and Jason is on fire. He kills a fat dude, who was probably my favorite kid (along with the stoner who looked like Jay) in the whole movie, Keena being the worst. The final battle is at the camp where Jason died as a kid and the crowd was totally into it, clapping and cheering. It's really violent.
My biggest problem was with the ending cause it left things way too open ended. After that fight I dont know how either guy could survive. I’m actually thinking about seeing this again in the theatre cause I’m curious to see how they change the finished product (I’ve only been to one
other test screening american beauty, and that movie didn’t change a bit), but my friends aren't exactly into this stuff so we'll see. The fans seemed to leave satisfied (you could hear them all buzzing on the way out), so I think this could actually be a surprise hit when it comes out (I think end of summer). Do you think there is enough demand?
Thanks for the site, guys. It keeps us movie chicks spinning around! My codename is sexy bitch.Thank you for the review. It’s readers like you that keep Harry and I spinning, so we’re even.
"Moriarty" out.

Saw it this weekend, and it rocked...

No way Star Wars is much better than Lord of the Rings.
...what? How could you say such a thing?
What Danzig is buff? Of course he is.
No way dude Danza is buffer than Danzig. What!?! How could you say that about the buff one?
Actually I'm kinda intrigued about this film in a spectator sport type of way. More power to them.

The stoner guy looked like Jay(Jason Mewes)? Isn't he still MIA?
by monkey_king
One of the cast members and friends of Kevin Smith told me so. He's working on the film Old Monkey is working on. Old MOnkey gets to swordfight Bill "Chop Top" Moseley in the film. I'm really looking forward to Freddy Vs. Jason. BTW I've always thought Jason would whup Freddy's boney ass.

What's wrong with moaning and groaning like a porn star?
by rev_skarekroe
Sounds like my kind of woman! sk

Jay aint dead, he turned his H addicted ass in a couple of weeks back. Now if we can get a Freddy vs Jason vs Jay & Silent Bob flick, that would be somethin special! Uh...wait...no, no it wouldn't. Still this (FvsJ)could be a fun flick to watch after a few pulls on the BONG!

So we should have left the THOUSANDS of people getting tortured and KILLED everyday, huh? Dumb fucking cunt. I'm ashamed of you.

You fool the Baath party will strike back and turn Baghdad into
by jango fett
Even now as we speak the mighty Baath are reinventing themselves and organizing protesters to drive back the infidels. Its just as well since we never belonged there. The Baath are creative like George Lucas and will wipe us out with their hidden stores of superweapons. The destruction they caused was nothing next to what we have done. Soon they will get their just vengeance!

maybe its time for a new "bf"? Seriously too cutesy a review. Made me sick from sugar shock. Reminds me of whoever was imitating the two AOL ditzy chicks in the TB, doing a review. And this site is depressingly slow.

I'd rather see Chucky vs. Pinhead from Puppet Master. Or Pinhead from Hellraiser vs. Leatherface. Or...

*gasp* How can that be?! I'm sooo there!

you're not going to change Frothy C's mind or anyone else's, might as well give it a rest. Just put your neck in the yoke of corrupt cronyism with the rest of us, and pray for McCain over Jeb in 2008. oh yeah the movie? sounds fun, Robert Englund is awesome. definitely a rental, but look forward to it.

Can i Get a FAKE-ASS-PATRIOT meal?.... and supersize the freedom
by smelltheglove
nah. the war is still relevant. when my fucking tax dollars are being spent on some bullshit occupation of a desert shit-hole, then it is fucking relevant.
and let's be clear...
*it was not a war, it was an invasion
*there are no womd's.
*oil has everything to do with it.

and uh.... Freddy vs Jason sounds like a pile of populist shit.
suck it homos.

what about those rumours that katherine Isabelle was going to be topless in the film!!!
are they lying to us?
i can't believe that they are doing a slasher without nudity! -

She groaned when she saw the chick from Destiny's Child?
by gheorghe zamfir
That's hot.

Could be!!!!!!!!! The reason I haven't weighed in on the subject is that recently I have reconciled with my long lost Catwoman. After several hours attempting to cram her into her old catwoman outfit we decided to have a night out on the town at Dennys. I bought her a hamburger and then after a lusty bout of anal sex I bid her a g'night. I threw some money on the dresser and walked out. I always get women so easily and always treat them like shit. If it was Ladka in disguise and he played a Crying Game onme I will have deserved it. Everyone knows Baghdad will be another Vietnan anyway and that we are about to invade Syria because we are bloodthirsty barbrians who refuse to respect Allah. If only we had the understanding of George Lucas instead of the leadership of George Bush. Lucas could lead us to enlightenment like he has the Wookies and Ewoks. Well off to go masterbate with my Little Mermaid shampoo bottle. Thank God...or should I say "Allah" that it is waterproof!

There are other things on the internet than Hobbits and porn. Find a proper site to spout your incredibly ignorant and uninformed horseshit.

I was wondering why you people were all talking about the war in this talkback but then the obvious parallel hit me. A battle between two maniacs, only the people who get in the way die and you never really know if the maniacs are dead or not. Good point nerds. Anyway, if this movie (not this war) is as fun as Jason X or Bride of Chucky I would definitely be down for a series, but I think more "solo Freddy movies" or an Elm Street prequel are probaly bad ideas. That series ran its course, the last one was the definitive topper. Leave it alone, boys.

Maybe Harry pit up that disgusting display in the corner to make us not want boobs in horror movies
ah fuck it, i dont know what I am sayn..So stoned -
Is from Delhi? Codename. If it is already screening where the hell are the previews!
-
Hi...not sure if this is old news but "http://home.attbi.com/~Kat9119/index.html" was a pic with J/F in the same frame. Jason looks ok in the top line pic but terrible in almost every other. Anyway...enjoy.
-
c'mon kids. at times like this i ask myself , what would Jesus do?
The answer i get is that Jesus would tell you to shut your hole and talk of movies instead. Inspired words from a man, who knows how to ski. -
I don't think either of them give a fuck about what's going on in Iraq. This is still a movie site, right?
-
This is a fucking movie site. Yeah, you cool ass guys are entitled to your opinions and all, but please take the ever so lame talk to the war over to another website's message board. Seriously. No one gives a shit what you think about the war. I'm just sick of all these yuppie college fucks that choose to use this as a forum to discuss their stupid ass opinions about the war. Can't we just talk about how cool Freddy vs. Jason is gonna be? Does every single fucking talkback have to include some lame opinion about the war?
-
I didn't want to be off-topic. This movie and Harry's corner animation makes it official. Naked Man-Breasts now appear in films more than real breasts.
-
does anyone have the entertainment weekly password from the mag? Do`nt see it much in Blighty but would like to see the apparently spoiler image..
-
Im confused does one of them die in freddy vs. jason? i dont wanna kno which one i just wanna kno if one does or not. oh and just so you know, jason is not dead, hes in rehab.
