Screenwriter Todd Farmer told FridayThe13th.com some things about Jason X. The opening of the film isn't set in the present but in 2010 so "Freddy vs. Jason could follow both of the preceeding Freddy and Jason movies without our script interfering with them". Producer Sean Cunningham did do a lot of rewrites, most of them "now live on the editing room floor", and he made "a 30 to 40 million-dollar movie shoved into a significantly smaller budget". Post-production is currently going on in LA, and a Halloween release date expected.
