Regisseur Sam Raimi (Spiderman) heeft laten weten dat Ash, de hoofdpersonage uit zijn Evil Dead films, niet te zien zal zijn in een vervolg op Freddy vs. Jason.

Er waren lange tijd geruchten dat Bruce Campbell de rol weer zou neerzetten in Freddy vs. Jason vs. Ash.



[eng]"That won't happen.

I have great respect for those franchises. I didn't want to be in a position where I was protecting Ash, the character that I want to eventually make another movie with one day, protecting him and not allowing the director to do what he felt he had to do. I didn't want to be in a weird position like that. I have a great deal or respect for Sean Cunningham. I think he's a brilliant filmmaker. He made some classics. I just didn't think it was a winning great situation for anybody."[/eng]
