FREDDY VS. JASON VS. ASH Actually moves forward...for real

[Khephra]

The rumors about FREDDY VS. JASON VS. ASH are true. Today's Hollywood Reporter confirms that New Line Cinema has entered discussions with director Sam Raimi, the fellow who helmed the three EVIL DEAD pictures and who owns the copyright to Ash, the sarcastic hero of the DEAD trilogy. If a deal can be reached, Ash will go up against the two horror slasher icons in the sequel to last summer's FREDDY VS. JASON. In that case, it's expected that Bruce Campbell will strike a deal to play Ash for the fourth time. It's unlikely that Raimi would direct the film; he's got plans to helm SPIDER-MAN 3 (set for release in May 2007), but Raimi would likely take a producing credit on the VERSUS film.

Last seen on-screen in 1993's ARMY OF DARKNESS, Campbell's Ash has remained a popular cult hero amongst the horror fandom. The rumors about Ash being added to the fray first popped up at Creature Corner a year ago this month and were then revisited by Fangoria in October 2003.

1. I named my cat Ash after the character!

This idea, however, is a bad one. I'd rather just see another ED movie.

4. If he can finally kill the other two freepers for good then

It would all be worth it.

2. I really don't want that film to be made.

I want to see Evil Dead 4 and Spiderman 3, but not Freddy v. Jason v. Ash. I don't know why, but the concept bothers me.

6. Actually, I think Ash would be better off against Leatherface

THAT might work.

3. Ash will win (if it happens)

but if Campbell doesn't play Ash, the movie will suck.

5. ROFL

My money's on Ash.

Hail to the king, baby.
