 Platnium Dunes strikes again! Yes, everybody's favourite guy Michael Bay has taken possesion of another beloved series of slasher flicks. The remake will retell the story of how Jason Voorhees first doned his famous hockey mask in order to terrorise horny, drug-addled teens. Bay will produce and Marcus Nispel ( The Texas Chainsaw Massacre, Pathfinder) has been signed to direct, from a script by Freddy vs. Jason scribes Damian Shannon and Mark J. Swift. The Hollywood Reporter also recently broke the news that Jared Padalecki ( Supernatural, House of Wax) is in final talks to take the lead role. The flick is set to be released on 13th of February, 2009. A Friday of course. My own two cents: With the abyssmal effort of Jason X, the F13 franchise is pretty much dead and buried next to Jason's countless victims. Perhaps a retelling of Jason's origins could kick things back into gear. Nispel has an interesting style and I was surprised at how enjoyable FvJ was, so I have faith in the director and both writers. Bay's not my favourite guy in the world, but as long as he stays in his producer's chair and doesn't interfere too much with the important people, I think it'll be okay. Any thoughts? Matt. |

I don't care about Friday. Hell, maybe it needs a remake. Either way, I don't care. What I care about is my beloved Nightmare on Elm St., scheduled to be remade in 2010. No Robert Englund and no Wes Craven--doomed from the start. |

Friday the 13th is one of my favorite films, definetly my favorite horror film, and I'm honestly not mad that they are remaking it. I've been following the development of this film and I'm with Matt. This is one remake that really has potential. People always wrongly accuse Friday the 13th as being nothing more than cliched teens meeting a machete. Well, that's true for the sequels. But the first film actuially had a story. It actually developed it's characters and there was even some suspese. So yes, I'm looking foward to this remake.
Here's to hoping it doesn't turn out like Halloween!

Oh good. And I thought that Hollywood had run out of old movie franchises to remake. Maybe they can call this one: Friday the 13th: Beating a Dead Horse.

I'd be willing to bet this becomes the stereotype slasher everyone thinks the original already is. Like Zack said, the original actually had some substance. Even the deaths were more Hitchcock than Hostel. These remakes, on the other hand, seem to be upping the gore factor in the classics they rehash. This one, I think, will more than live up to the expectations of the people who've never seen the original while, ironically, doing away with its actual essence at the same time. Nispel (if he's indeed the director, his named been attached to several, now seemingly defunct, projects) is a little more talented and standout than your typical director-for-hire but I'm pretty sure this one will still end up looking pretty standard. |

I still remember hearing that Jason X advertisement on the radio and laughing at the sheer concept of it. What's next: Jason XX: Alone (When you thought it was all done, we come back with a new spin. Jason comes back but finds that everyone is dead. Who does jason go after next? Himself. Will he succeed? Come and watch. Rated R for retarded) lol
I'm still probably end up watching this remake but I'm defiatenly not going to the theatres to watch it. I'll wait for the dvd.

What a scary thought, a PG-13 F13... I hadn't even thought about it until now. Very, very glad they're going for the hard R.  Matt. |
