The next installment of WICKED magazine will have a bit of information
on JASON VOORHEES in the form of an interview with Kane Hodder. Parts of
which have popped up on CSO. News on JASON X and
FREDDY VS. JASON.
"I'm far more comfortable than I've ever been as far just being
hot or constricted. This is the easiest I've had it with that part, just
the way the costume is designed. For once, the costumes have been designed
with comfort in mind, which helps my performance. [Otherwise] you start
getting really worn out by the end of the day. You don't want your performance
to suffer because you're energy isn't there."
For the grisly work at hand, Hodder also does something unusual to
prepare himself for the task at hand that one might assume could be very
disturbing for others on the set given his physical presence. Hodder explains,
"Right when we roll, I usually just do a little growling stuff. I've
always done that since the beginning. People are always surprised at first
but then they get used to it. I do it just about every take, especially
if there's something violent I'm doing. It just gets the energy to the right
level. I think some of the other guys who played Jason before me didn't
really take it seriously, didn't really try and add anything to the character.
They figured, eh, he's just a zombie that walks around. Anybody can do that.
That's not true. I just try to put more into it, there's some breathing
things I'm noted for."
Hodder is well aware of the popularity of the franchise and how eager
the fans are to see the long in the works Freddy Vs. Jason reach fruition.
When asked how he felt the upcoming Jason X would do, Hodder gleefully declared,
"It'll do very well. I do appearances around the country every year
and the only question I consistently get is when's the next movie coming
out? Because it's been so long, people are really ready for it, even though
most people thought it was going to be Freddy vs. Jason, they don't care
as long as Jason's coming back. They're very, very excited. I get 50 e-mails
a day asking me about it. When I go on the Internet trying to even check
my mail, then I'll get 30 instant messages of people who have me on there
buddy list. I can't even check my mail. There's really good excitement about
it."
Hodder also presumes that Freddy vs Jason is coming, saying, "I'm
sure it will happen, and I definitely want to do it because that would be
something that the fans have really been waiting for. I think it would be
fun to kick Freddy's ass." (CSO) (HFA
