Although it took over a decade of development hell to get made, Freddy vs Jason finally slashed into theaters in 2003. And fans were hungry for more soon after – especially since the film ended more or less on a tie. New Line Cinema, the production company behind Freddy vs Jason, quickly discussed the potential for making a sequel. And naturally that led them to discuss bringing Bruce Campbell’s Ash Williams from the Evil Dead trilogy to appear in what would have been Freddy vs. Jason vs. Ash. It went so far that Creative Executive Jeff Katz and Sr. VP…

Actor Christian Bale is often considered one of the most committed and dedicated actors working in Hollywood today. He’s proven time and time again that he’s not only able to disappear into his characters, but physically adapt to the roles as well. Anyone who’s seen him in The Machinist from 2004 knows he was nearly skeletal in appearance, but it’s shocking to see how quick he gained the muscle to play Bruce Wayne in 2005’s Batman Begins. Now we’ll get to see Bale work his magic once again for his next film from director Adam McKay. The biopic will see…

That was the year Jason Goes to Hell made its way into theaters, beginning what should’ve been a new era for the hockey masked slasher. Unfortunately it turned out to be the beginning of the end, albeit with a final tease. The film pulled what movies today like The Avengers do on a seemingly monthly basis.
