It's old news, but according to http://www.upcominghorrormovies.com ...
"Shooting begins in Vancouver on September 9. Fangoria reports that Kane Hodder will not be playing Jason Voorhees, because they have "retought" the character and wants Jason to be more sympathetic and have a closer physical match with Freddy..."
This pisses me off. Freddy Vs Jason would be cool, but not Freddy Vs a dumbed down cry baby Jason. To me, the whole idea of Freddy Vs Jason is for them to fight in the same form they existed in throughout the 80s/90s; not to try to balance things out by making Jason smaller. I don't think this is what any of the fans want either. It doesn't seem to be like this will be a TRUE Freddy Vs. Jason movie. I remeber hearing/seeing (?) somewhere that one of Kane Hodder's big dreams was to play in this movie and I think that's what he and the fans deserved. They might still be able to pull it off with a "rethought" version of Jason, and I'll still go see it... but this is a little disappointing. I guess it's better than it not happening at all though. Any thoughts?
