In addition, the music channel also talked to Robert Englund about the project. "The plot is really ingenious, how they bring the two together," Englund said. "Freddy needs Jason. He manipulates him, and then it all starts to fray at the edge."

The project has undergone several rewrites but Englund believes that the story has been solidified. "I'm expecting Federal Express at any moment to come to my house and throw a new [slightly modified script] hot off the presses down," Englund said. "But my [current] script dates back to July and boy, it's a good script. It has the one thing that I felt it had to have — we have to get into Jason's nightmares. Whatever's going on, whatever remains of his synapse and psyche, we have to get into that. And they really exploit that in this. There's also a wonderful set piece at a rave that's just an amazing, amazing sequence."

Finally, Englund also talked about not having Kane Hodder in the film as Jason Vorhees, who has played the killing machine during the past several films. "Kane is a friend of mine and it makes this difficult," Englund said. "'Cause I think of Kane as Jason. Nobody does the killing machine like Kane. The only thing I know is, they're looking at people. ... One of the things that may be in the rewrites is that there may be a sequence in a flashback, we may see Jason young. Given that, they may be forced to hire somebody younger."
