The headline reads: “Child Killer Set Free.” There is a PICTURE of Fred Krueger walking down the court steps, smiling. They shot it locally, and that’s what’s in the final film.” (Friday the 13th: The Website Forum Chat) They told us what he had in mind, and I thought it was perfect. But the movie still needed an ending! Bob Shaye came to the rescue. It didn’t make sense to me, and it raised too many questions (Does this mean Freddy won? Where’s Jason? Is this a dream? Is Will turning evil and is now some sort of Son-of-Freddy?) I must admit that I was relieved when audiences disliked this epilogue at the first test screening. To be perfectly honest, I never liked this ending. “Will’s hand turns into Freddy’s claw, and he slashes at Lori, and we cut to black. “Another writer wrote an epilogue where, six months later, Will and Lori are having sex for the first time,” Swift wrote. The last scenario was filmed but didn’t seem quite right. Jason’s basic premise out of the way, another problem presented itself: How should the film end? The creative team proposed numerous epilogues including Freddy and Jason’s fight continuing in Hell, with Pinhead (from Hellraiser) breaking up the fight a giant CGI demonic hand reaching out of Crystal Lake to drag the two monsters down into oblivion and Will’s possession by Freddy during an intimate moment with Lori. He did a good job at keeping it short without losing the story.” (“Genesis: Development Hell”) I think he combined two characters at one point. “The task he had was to cut it down without losing any of the scenes. “The goal was to obliviously make the film as short as possible,” Swift said of Goyer’s involvement. They passed Shannon and Swift’s latest drafts to screenwriter David Goyer to revise. The writing duo wrote “nine or ten” drafts but the script ran too long for New Line’s taste. It became less bloody, but it stayed essentially the same story all the way through.” ( Fangoria)
We started off writing what was probably the bloodiest film ever made, and that was because Bob Shaye at New Line told us to make it as violent as possible. The script definitely wound up less gory as we went along. But the trick was making that happen without violating established mythologies and backstories of the characters. “We wanted the fights to take place in the real world and in the dream world. “There were things we wanted in the story,” explained Swift. We wanted to see these characters restored to their former glory.” (“Genesis: Development Hell” and Fangoria) We wanted to take Freddy and Jason back to their roots. We wanted to maintain what had been created originally for these characters. We asked ourselves what that meant-why was Freddy grabbing the mask? A lot of the stories had kind of crisscrossed their backstories. We started imagining where the story should go from the point where Freddy grabs Jason’s mask. They just said, ‘Come in with what you guys think the movie should be,’ and we did. “New Line never gave us any marching orders. And the fans will love you for it,” remembered Damian Shannon of their pitch to New Line Cinema.
We wanted to take both histories of both characters, as they were in the movies, and start from there.” (“Genesis: Development Hell”) We didn’t really change the histories of the characters. “I knew it had been in development for ten years, so I think we just came at it a little bit differently than the rest of the other. “We worked on another project for New Line and they brought us in to pitch our take ,” recalled Mark Swift. Newcomers Damian Shannon and Mark Swift proposed a premise that New Line could finally get behind. Many of Hollywood’s elite screenwriters took a stab at writing a script, but none of them were able to capture what New Line was looking for. New Line Cinema tried on multiple occasions to develop the film but could not find a concept that worked. Jason languished in development for almost ten years.
