Like every other human being on the planet, FREDDY VS JASON and FRIDAY THE 13TH (2009) writers Damian Shannon and Mark Swift still want to see FREDDY VS JASON 2 hit the screen one day. But in a humble turn of events, the writers say they'd like to see fresh eyes and fresh blood brought to the sequel via new screenwriters.
Specifically, Shannon and Swift said:
We still want to get it made! We would always love to do another one. But it’s always good to get fresh eyes on the material, no? We’ve had our day. We’ve written for Jason more than any other writer, I think. Let someone new come in and give it fresh blood!

FREDDY VS JASON followed this synopsis:
Two horror icons face off in this supernatural movie. Disfigured serial killer Freddy Krueger (Robert Englund), who attacks his victims in their dreams, has lost much of his power since citizens of his town have become less afraid of him. Enlisting the help of fellow violent murderer Jason Voorhees (Ken Kirzinger), Freddy orchestrates a new killing spree. However, when the hockey-mask-wearing psychopath won't stop chopping up Freddy's intended victims, the two ghouls start to battle each other.
Rated R for pervasive strong horror violence/gore, gruesome images, sexuality, drug use and language, the film sports a 41% on Rotten Tomatoes with a Critics Consensus that reads: Fans of the two horror franchises will enjoy this showdown. But for everyone else, it's the same old slice and dice.
Ronny Yu (BRIDE OF CHUCKY) directed FREDDY VS JASON from a screenplay written by Damian Shannon & Mark Swift (FRIDAY THE 13TH 2009) based on characters created by Wes Craven & Victor Miller. Original FRIDAY THE 13TH (1980) director Sean S. Cunningham produced the monster mash-up which starred Monica Keena, Kelly Rowland, Jason Ritter, Chris Marquette, Lochlyn Munro, and Robert Englund.
