I think they should put leatherface to sleep. Or well they never should have ressurected him in the first place. You cant combine another horror character in the freddy vs jason movies unless he holds his own personality and presence on screen. The character would also have to have a name for himself. you cant have micheal myers, because he is a jason clone. you cant have pinhead, because he is to serious of a character. you cant have leatherface because his appeal is his sense of dominating, and unrelenting fear, he wouldnt be to threatning up against two invincible characters.
Ash could be the only plausible choice. He has a wide and sometimes fetish following. His personality would add a great deal to the dialogue, his take no shit attitude would make for good action, and finally his characteristics would add a nice ingrediant to the mix. I do however, believe there should be no sequals to freddy vs jason, diddnt we all get the point from the first one?
To quote Scream, "You gotta have a sequel!"
True, Leatherface isn't immortal. I just really like him and with the popularity gained from the remake, he's coming back out from the shadows. Michael Myers is too much like Jason and I can't picture Pinhead fighting the two of them.
I would love to see a sequel, preferably with another horror icon in the mix.
I agree. If there would be a sequal there would have to be another character. I just think you would have to choose a character that doesnt come off as trying to exploit the genre and the characters. You may say, well wasnt FvJ just an exploitation? Well maybe, but then again so are most of the sequals in the freddy and jason movies, and i think the versus flick did a decent job at not making a movie merely to bank off the names, but to bring back the characters that spawned an ageless following. I think throwing in someone like myers or leatherface would be done just to feed off of the name, and not to make a movie that fans want.
When I thought Ash was going to be in the sequel I was so excited. But when I heard Sam was being a jerk and saying no, I began to think "What's the point of having a sequel? it won't be that interesting, and there's really no need for a sequel. They got the point across in the first film." 😬
I'm so pissed that Ash isn't in it. 😠
Yeah, Andrew, if you read above you would see we were discussing about that and possible other horror icons to be in it other than Ash. 😛
I'm not sure if he wants to "save" him for another Evil Dead movie. He more wanted Ash to win if he was in it at all. If Ash died, that would eliminate a chance for a fourth Evil Dead movie. Raimi couldn't agree with any of their scripts.
By the way, don't hold your breath for an Evil Dead 4. Bruce Campbell will probably be too old to be Ash by the time Sam Raimi gets to it.
For those that are disappointed as I am, maybe this will help, a FvJvA flash trailer. It's pretty good.
