I would love to see Samuel L Jackson or some big stars in a Friday 13th movie. http://filmforce.ign.com/articles/594/594028p1.html?fromint=1 EXCLUSIVE: The Ultimate Jason Voorhees Movie Which Oscar-winner might direct? Seriously. March 07, 2005 - IGN FilmForce has learned that none other than Oscar-winner Quentin Tarantino is in final negotiations to write and direct the Ultimate Jason Voorhees Movie, an all new Friday the 13th for New Line. While the rumor mill had long suggested that the next movie might be Freddy vs. Jason vs. Ash, that project never came together for a number of reasons. Fans will instead be treated to the Ultimate Jason Voorhees Movie. The project will be a co-venture between New Line and Paramount Pictures. It is expected to be a "quickie" that could get underway as early as this year! Tarantino's production company, A Band Apart, referred us to the William Morris Agency. A rep at WMA would only advise us that Tarantino has "not yet" been offered the job while refusing to elaborate any further. If there's any (ultra-violent) filmmaker who could make Jason cool and scary again, it'd be the man who resurrected Travolta. I just wonder if the movie will be retitled Kill Jason? --
He denied this rumor over the weekend: Tarantino Denies "Jason" Rumours Posted: Monday March 14th, 2005 11:10pm Source: Empire Online Author: Garth Franklin For over a week now the talk has been swirling that New Line was meeting with Quentin Tarantino about doing the "Ultimate Jason Voorhees Movie" and as a result his "Inglorious Bastards" has been put on hold. Today, Empire Online has word from the man himself which smashes all the gossip to bits. "What's happening with Friday The 13th? Nothing at all! It's a complete lie. I like Jason and everything, but I've no intention of directing a movie! New Line talked to me about it, but it was a complete fabrication, that article. I would love to do a horror film. I'm just saying it's not going to be Friday The 13th..." said the "Pulp Fiction" and "Kill Bill" director. So is 'Inglorious' next then? "My next film is probably going to be Inglorious Bastards, yeah. I've written scenes. I've written a lot of it but now I have to sit down and start putting it together in a script that I can start shooting. And that's a different thing."

Ash vs anything would get a thumbs up from me. My vote goes to Ash vs baby geniuses. But what's next for Jason? He's been in the hood, he's been in space, he's been in a crappy vs movie ... about the only thing left for him is for Busta and Nelly to tag team his ass. Or have Harold and Kumar visit crystal lake.
He hasn't traveled through time yet. Loads of potential there; Jason in the Old West, Feudal Japan, Roman Empire, etc.
