Jason X: Time to Die by Matt C - Horror, Action - It has been two years since Rowan Mathers was awoken from a cryogenically enduced slumber, a slumber she shared with Jason Voorhees, the notorious Crystal Lake Killer. Since then she has gotten on successfully with her life. She has a great apartment, a wonderful job that she loves and heaps of friends. But when two people are murdered, Rowan has a vivid dream about Jason rising from the grave. History is changed, Jason's previous body count rises from 167 to 173. Rowan is the only person who can stop him. But in order to save the lives of countless innocents, she must reafirm old ties and travel through time to the past for a final showdown with the greatest killer of all time... - html, format

Read the script, and while I am not sure about the chronology, if this takes place after Jason X, then shouldn't it be Jason XI or Friday the 13th Part 11, since the X stands for the Roman numeral for 10.

if you though it was over, then you're a dumbass? Weird way to start a script.

while i have not read your script and more then likely will not since jason x took place in the future you dont need to mention freddy vs jason because that movie took place in the present i.e the past 

I am currently writing another draft for this screenplay. Some of the things included are:

- A longer opening with more flashbacks and more leadup to the story.
- An extended action sequence with Barry and Sydney.
- More scenes between Rowan and Thalia to establish their friendship.
- A stronger explaination as to who Jason speaks to in hell (it might not be who you think it is).
- An action sequence at the end that is twice as long, twice as gory as the original. This one between the two Jasons, between two characters that cannot die, will blow your socks off.
- Fewer missed out words and fewer, if not no, spelling mistakes.
- No, if you thought it was over ur a dumbass at the beginning (what the hell was i thinking??

As for the title, I'm doing a Final Fantasy X2 here. As most of you know, FF games have different characters in each one. But FFX and FFX2 have the same set of characters. Its continuing on their story instead of jumping to someone elses. They made a FFXI with new characters. That's all I'm doing. Every Jason movie follows a new set of characters in new situations. But I'm continuing the story of Rowan and Tsun, so I called it Jason X2. I'm simply incorporating some of the FF stuff into the Jason stuff. I could see how some people would be confused, but it's relatively simple once you know it and I didnt want to call it "Jason XI" or "Friday the 13th Part Eleven".

The second draft will also be much longer with improved dialogue and more explainations about things, especially how Rowan comes to all of her conclusions.

How about this... How about you don't?  Just a thought... could help you and us all out on something called "TIME" the C.B.'s wrote a great war tune about it in the 60's... if you recall.

Anyways, I'm not a dumbass I knew it wasn't over cause people like you won't let it be over... that's why we have F VS J and F VS M VS A VS LF coming up... I'm sure.

I haven't read your screenplay, so I'm not saying it sucks... I'm making a guess based off all the other screenplays I've read with Jason, Freddy, Michael or LeatherFace in them, that yeah... this one sucks too.

However, I do think there is 1 thing we can all agree on here in this post and topic... When it comes to Friday the 13th movies, A nightmare on Elm street movies, Texsas chainsaw massacre movies and the rest... Who the hell ever said 1 of them had anything remotley concrete in them?  LOL!  I mean, Jason can be at the bottom of a lake 1 minute then next he's crusin' to New York on a ship... NOW THAT's WHAT I CALL RANDOM VOL. 1

I think all continuity in Friday movies was over when the 1st one ended. "Which by the way was stolen material off of another classic 80's movie, which actually was filmed before friday the 13th part 1"

Any guess which movie I'm talking about and you'll be privy to um... hmm... A big how the fuck did you know that, LOL!  

Good thoughts~

I read the script and I LOVED IT!!! I thought that everything was great. There was nothing bad to say about this. You did such a good job. I loved every death scene and all...it was perfect. Good job...the only problem was that it's Crystal Lake, Maryland...the movie was filmed here where I lived...that's about it. Great script.

Baltimore's in Maryland. If I had have known that I may have slipped Hannibal Lecter in somewhere as a little joke. I reckon I could have pulled it off. Maybe......

My only problem with this script is that I think I went a little over the top. When I had the idea of Jason facing off with another Jason I thought it was a great idea. To have these two characters that no matter what cannot die just face off and chop the shit outta each other was really appealing. Have as much blood and guts as possible. Do as many gory things as I could think of and just put it in.

Unfortunately, in order to plausibaly get two Jasons in the one place at the same time I had really one option: time travel. Although there are a lot of movies about time travel, I think that a time travelling horror movie might be a little too over the top. I had a few other ways of getting them back in the picture together, like my earliest draft actually had a cult that summoned up two Jasons with a magic spell just to see what a real death match looked like. Another one was a scientific research group cloned Jason in order to produce an army so they could win the war on terror.

So no matter how over the top the idea of time travelling Jason Voorhees may seem, there were some way wackier ones. I think for all of my purposes for the screenplay it works.

Another thing I've been getting some e-mails about is the Old Hermit and his little scene which grosses people out a little bit. The reason the mysterious hermit does what he does is because I wanted to do something outrageous and disgusting to set the tone early on and it seemed like a good way to do it.

No, I don't know anyone who masterbates into their hands and then eats it, but I was just seeing how much I could gross myself out and that one really hits the mark for a lot of reasons. The main reason is to raise the question why in his mind was it right to eat the semen. Who knows?

As for future drafts, there aren't going to be anymore. I waws going to do a third and bring it up to a full length screenplay but I feel that this draft really does everything I wanted it to do. It's the script I set out to write a year ago and now it's done so there will be no more. I'll leave that up to the producers at New Line and the people who own Jason the character.

I thought I was writing a weird Jason script but hey, whatever rocks you're boat.
Plus, Im sure there are some other "movies" that show this type of thing  

I will have a read of this and drop my views off at a later date.

What a long drive home can induce, huh?  

Anyways... just got in an saw that someone won't let this screenplay and topic die...

I then read the authors rebutle to everything and have this to say~

1- If you don't think a time travling horror movie would work... go buy WAX WORK 2. It works pretty well if you ask me.

2- Don't defend an idea that isn't even yours. Why do the foot work for something you didn't even create?  Had you created him and built the auora around him and brought him to cult level status, maybe you could be in a place to complain... but you didn't and you can't.

3- You having a guy wack off into his own hand and eating it isn't shocking, it's actually pretty fuggin' tastless.  It shows your mature level is that of about a 13 year old. And if you want to know why is it ok to eat sperm... ask any dime bag slut hooker on the street or any other self respect lacking women out there that does it for 100 bucks a pop.  I don't think you'll walk away with the answer you wanted though.

4- I agree, the only thing more over the top than a time traveling Jason is your screenplay in general and its content.

I know this sounds like I'm venting and well... maybe I am, maybe I just don't feel very well and maybe I just think you trying to make right what's been wrong is a bit peculiar, cause you don't even own the rights to this work... not really.

So while you may like me, love me or hate me... I always tell it like it is and shoot from the hip.  If you don't wanna be shot in the eye, you'll look turn around and pray it doesn't catch you.

I never claimed to understand most of the writers here on the board and often time I'm backlashed against for being such a hardcore prick to a lot of people and maybe to a degree I am... maybe to a degree it hurts my rep here on the board and makes people not want to read my stuff or give me an honest view of what they do read of my stuff.  

I say to that... SO BE IT~  

I'm not gonna appologize for who I am!  I'm not gonna appologize for what I need!

Words to live by... Words to live by...

I can't get into this script, Im sorry but I am finding it difficult due to my hate for JasonX in the first place.

Im sure you will please a lot of fans of that type of movie with this script, I just tried to read it and found myself really wanting to do something else.

I do like the Friday the 13th films, the first eight I find entertaining and have done since I was a kid, but Im not a dumbass and do know they are the joke in the minds of most. Which I can't really say is an untruthful statement.

But I just despise the whole space/time travelling/futuristic version of this Jason guy.

I know the intention when they made JasonX was to appeal to a younger audience, as was probably the previous two or three, but it just comes across to me as TOO far fetched.

The idea this guy can't seem to die alone is as far fetched as anything, but you can't beat an old 80's style slasher film in my opinion.

Give me an old camp site, some idiotic campers, an unstoppable killer and Im easily entertained.

Horror should be simple, not complicated.

But having said that, I am not having a go at the author for writing what he feels is right. On a positive, you are at least expanding the series in some direction you want it to go and you write really well, I cant fault that.

But I couldn't get into it, but I do wish you the best of luck.

Bleh come up with an original idea.  Worst of all you did a terrible spinoff to a terrible movie.

I'm actually working on another horror script now. If you liked this one, then you're probably going to like my next one. This one is called "Frenzy" and centres around a young man named Damian, who is a brilliant (yet extremely disturbed) teenager who feels that the Devil is somehow trying to manifest himself. He begins having delusions about numbers and demons crawling up the walls. But as his family prepares to go travelling through Europe, Damian begins to discover that these dilusions may not just be in his head.

This script will be a lot different from my Jason script, for the simple reason that they it will actually be scary. I'm going for more of a "The Ring" or "Boogeyman" kind of horror, so it will be purely visual. The script may not scare you, but if it is made it would (hopefully).

So stay tuned, that one should be in by mid June, if not, late July. Early August at the latest.

Be warned...

the Frenzy is coming.

Sounds too much like Donnie Darko.
