The reason Dimension is proposing this to the fans is because they own the rights to both characters. This would be the easiest way for them to cash in on the sucess of the Freddy vs. Jason movie and the inevitable success of Alien vs. Predator. If you recall it took forever for New Line Cinema to buy the rights to the Friday the 13th series from Paramount, and that is why the Freddy vs. Jason flim took so long to materialize. I do agree with the masses on the issue however, this film wouldn't be nearly as successful for the simple reason that the Freddy and Jason characters have cross over popularity tha t appealled to a wide audience. I would consider Michael Myers to have the same sort of popularity, but not Pinhead.
