Jason may be out.
The man behind the razor nailed glove, Robert Englund, tells Fangoria that Freddy Krueger might be doing battle with Michael Myers in the next film.
Freddy vs. Michael Myers
“New Line Cinema has commissioned two scripts: One is Freddy vs. Jason and Michael Myers, or Freddy vs. Michael Myers, I’m not quite sure how that works,” Englund reveals. “The other one is a prequel; apparently it’s not that prequel script that’s been floating around for several years, it’s something new. They will select one of those two [projects].”
A while back, Englund recommended they bring “Halloween” villain Michael Mers into proceedings, even suggesting original heroine from the “Halloween” films, Jamie Lee Curtis, returning to reprise her role as Laurie Strode.
Englund, who has always pushed for an “Elm Street” prequel, is also in talks to star in a sequel to Dee Snider’s “Strangeland”.
“Dee still has to find the right director; he’s a rock star and he’s a strong personality but he’s not an actor, so he really needs to trust a good director who shares his vision. My part has been expanded in this one, and it’s very clever and very smart. I’m hoping I will do that in 2006.”
