Freddy vs. Jason is a slasher film that was released in 2003 by New Line Cinema. The film was directed by Ronny Yu. The plot pits Jason Voorhees (of the Friday the 13th series of films) and Freddy Krueger (of the Nightmare on Elm Street series of films) against each other. Tagline: Winner kills all...
Plot summarySpoiler warning: Plot and/or ending details follow.
Freddy Krueger (Robert Englund) is stuck in Hell. He is not able to get out of this situation as long as no one remembers him or his crimes. Therefore, he conjures up Jason Voorhees (Ken Kirzinger) who is capable of acting in the real world. In the disguise of Jason's mother (Pamela Voorhees, the one person to whom Jason will listen, and never kill), Freddy convinces Jason to kill teenagers living on Elm Street to make the residents of Springwood, Ohio think that Freddy is back. Jason commits a few murders which are blamed on Freddy. A small group of youths - including Lori Campbell (Monica Keena), her boyfriend Will Rollins (Jason Ritter), Kia (Kelly Rowland), and a sheriff's deputy (Lochlyn Munro) - notice that it was not Freddy who had committed the murders. However, when they realize this, it is already too late and the population's fear has made Freddy strong enough to come back from Hell. Since Jason has done what he was expected to do, Freddy wants him to stop. However, Jason does not listen and continues to kill. Thus, a bloody fight begins between Jason and Freddy. The film ends with Jason impaling Freddy with his own severed arm. Lori then decapitates him. The final scene of the film shows Jason carrying Freddy's head out of Crystal Lake. Freddy winks as the head moves by the camera at the end of the film. Thus, the winner of the battle is ambiguous. Cast

Possible sequelSeveral ideas for a sequel to the film have been proposed. Many of these involve additional characters from other horror franchises. The use of Bruce Campbell's Ash Williams character from the Evil Dead franchise had been considered, but this idea was halted when Evil Dead creator and director, Sam Raimi, decided against it. However in the special features of the Evil Dead: Regeneration game Bruce Campbell himself says that the rumors are "partially true" and he would be willing to do the movie should it come about. According to an interview with Englund from March of 2006, New Line Cinema had participated in talks with John Carpenter concerning the use of Michael Myers in a sequel. See also
