Looks like FRIDAY THE 13TH's Kane Hodder might not be playing Jason in the upcoming FREDDY VS. JASON.

Kane Hodder, who played hockey-masked Jason Voorhees in the most recent Friday the 13th movies, told Fangoria that he won't be reprising the role in the upcoming Freddy vs. Jason movie. Robert Englund will fill the role of Freddy Krueger in the film, which is set to begin filming in Vancouver, B.C., on Sept. 9, the site reported.

Hodder and an anonymous New Line executive told Fangoria that filmmakers are rethinking the Jason character to make him more sympathetic and a closer physical match to Freddy. The idea is to make Jason a "sad, pathetic, Phantom of the Opera-type character," the New Line source told the site.

Hodder did meet with director Ronny Yu, but said that filmmakers want a different body type for the film. New Line added that Hodder is still under consideration for the job.

Access Hollywood, meanwhile, reported that Jason Bateman, Lisa Wilcox and Brian Thompson are all in talks to join the production.
