Freddy vs Jason vs ASH! (1 Viewer)

Threw me, too, although I don't think Universal ever actually owned Army Of Darkness - Dino De Laurentiis's company did, with Universal having the US distribution rights, which they sublicensed to Anchor Bay.

Again, I don't know when MGM managed to pick it up, but the newer AOD merchandise does have an MGM logo on it, and I don't think it got there by accident.

I know the Chinese DC of AoD that I own is an MGM DVD.

Jason

Isn't Ash short for Ashley? As in Ashley Wilkes? For some reason I've always taken that name "Ash" for granted, seeing it lumped aside common names like Freddy and Jason got me to thinkin just what kind of name is Ash, anyway? Must be short for Ashley.

what in gods name are you talking about? BLASPHEMY. It's not ASHLEY it's ASH. I know people in real life named ASH who are male.

Actually, I'm pretty sure it was specified as a nickname for "Ashley" in The Evil Dead. Not that that's any big deal; "Ashley" is as androgynous a name as "Leslie".

Okay, bad example.

It IS short for "Ashley". In "The Evil Dead", Ash's sister Cheryl (the first to get possessed) calls him Ashley.

Right on Bill. I was just gonna say that same thing. He is called Ashley in the first movie.

I bet their birth certificate says "Ashley" :wink:

Isn't Ash stuck in a post apocalyptic world? I would prefer another Evil Dead film myself, the cult status only gets bigger and could probably turn a profit with a moderate budget. But Raimi makes Spider-Man films these days so that could be a problem.

It sounds like a bad idea, but I can't help but get excited over it! I'll watch Bruce in anything, and even if this happens to be crap, you can bet that Bruce well make it worthwhile.

I'm not holding my breath though, based on Bruce's own comments.

Isn't Ash stuck in a post apocalyptic world?

Outside the US. Here, he got back, but now there are Deadites running around S-Mart in Detroit.

(And if you want confusing, the new comic actually has him coming back slightly before he left)

 

[Josh Simpson]

As much as I love Ash....er, Bruce Campbell, I'd rather see him in another Evil Dead movie or something else entirely than this. It just doesn't do it for me. Not to rain on anyone's parade though. If it's made, I will see it.

[c]Personally I don’t understand New Line’s need for running down a one shot deal. They need to focus back on the original franchise that started all the “Nightmare on Elm St.” series. This time around they could hire people with integrity to write and direct new films based on Freddy before meeting Nancy from the original movie. Could you image with a strong solid screenplay and direction from David Fincher? Well everyone can dream![/c]
