Funny you mention that. I watched “Friday The 13th Part VII: New Blood” this weekend and found out it was originally supposed to be Freddy vs Jason. But because Paramount and New Line couldn’t come to an agreement (likely $)… they cancelled it and ended up re-writing it. They wanted to do Jason vs somebody, so came up with a teenage girl who has telekinesis. i.e. Carrie vs Terminator, essentially.
Even crazier? After the original Freddy vs Jason idea was cancelled, Paramount realized they had the rights to Cheech and Chong. So they came up with Cheech and Chong Meet Jason, influenced by Abbott and Costello Meet Frankenstein. How weird would that have been? LOL
It's funny, because I also watched New Blood on friday. I figured the girl was supposed to be Carrie. But imagine Cheech and Chong with Jason? Damn that would be fun from hell.
Now since the lawsuit has been settled, I hope we are going to get another few Jason movies. If I remember correctly, a TV series is already in the works.
