April 27, 2002 — Kane Hodder, who plays Jason in Jason X, and Director Jim Isaac both say that Freddy vs. Jason will happen.
Kane Hodder tells Counting Down: "I'm looking forward to kicking Freddy's ass," says Hodder enthusiastically. "There's no set date but it's fairly imminent. New Line knows how to do this sort of thing. Robert Englund [Freddy] and I have talked, and the script we have now is quite good. It develops the controversy between the two characters, and [having another horror icon] gives me more to play off of and to react to." Hodder explains: "It hasn't been since Part Seven that there was someone who could battle Jason somewhat".
According to 'X director Isaac, Freddy vs. Jason is going to happen before Jason 11. As for the concept, he's unsure. "I don't know. If the story is good, it will work. But if it's just for the sake of a Jason vs. Freddy film, it won't." Everyone agrees that beyond Freddy vs. Jason, if enough good scripts can be found, finishing at 13 would be the perfect ending for the Jason franchise.
And does Jason have nightmares? "Hell no," laughs Kane.
