I'm trying to get it. Did anyone else succeed? Also, I have some great ones to trade if you have any other new horror titles

I thought you were being cute there, Pia, dropping a wink wink that it could be found on your web site - tyvärr :(

By the way, the link for the 28 Weeks Later script isn't working, baby.

It's not even available in hard copy on sites like Script Shack and Scriptfly, I wonder why it's so hard to get hold of?

I've given up. I guess some scripts just can't be found.

Maybe there never was a script...it's not, like, totally out of the realm of possibility, you know.

I agree Sniper. They probably made it up on the days they were shooting. Scribbled some dialogue down on a pad, and went from there. If they did do that, it shows in the quality of the movie.

Basically I'm saying it's a rubbish movie :)

I've read a review of the earlier draft of the script, which sounded like it was better than the script used in the film. Though I didn't find many problems with the film's script other than unimaginative kills. Very unimaginative kills.

Beat the heck out of The New Blood, Jason Takes Manhattan, and Jason X.

Then again my favorite Friday is Jason Goes to Hell.

lol you may begin the ridiculing =/

I didn't mind The New Blood, other than the fact that it was completely bloodless. There was zero gore in it except for Jason and all the punishment he got there (seriously, I think he broke a record there).

But I have seen the uncut gore-footage of the film and it was amazing. I have concluded that The New Blood would've been the best sequel in the series if it had been left alone. The movie being "ripped to shreds" doesn't even begin to cut it. The movie had some of the best Friday kills I'd ever seen and it's a shame most of them were cut out.

Personally, Part VI is my favorite for its sheer fun factor, despite the fact that it completely butchered Tommy Jarvis's character in V (psycho Tommy was the only half-way decently written character in the entire series) and gave us zombie Jason -- he worked well in that one, but all future sequels had to carry the baggage.

JGTH wasn't as bad as people think. I thought it was one of the better efforts in the series and I admire it for trying to be different than the others.

The problem with the remake is that it simply falls flat on all possible accounts -- uncreative deaths, characters even more one-dimensional than in the originals (never thought that would be possible) and a weak leading actor, which is a shame because I love watching his show Supernatural.

On the bright-side, Jason was pretty menacing here and the new Momma Voorhees did a tremendous job with the screen-time she was given.

Has anyone found the script yet because I would be happy to trade any of my horror scripts that I have for it?

The remake was ballz on all fronts. It was like a wet dog sitting on your lap the entire movie... I hated pretty much every single aspect of the film, right down to Jason himself.  Everything in the movie was uninspired and had nothing going for it.

The actors were junk bunk.
The script was junk bunk. "p.s. I don't have it either"
The kills were junk bunk.
The setting was junk bunk.
The jokes were junk bunk.
The typical cliche drug heads were junk bunk.

I think what I hated the most, tho... Was when ol' buddy was clearly seeing ol' girl... Then, when ol'buddy bike boy shows up, he all of a sudden is alright with her leaving with this guy and then goes and has sex with some other girl.  That made no sense at all. Whatsoever.  It was probably one of the most poorly thought out plot points I had ever seen in any movie. EVER!

Friday the 13th should never have been remade. It should've died off with the abysmal "Jason in Space" junk and then the even more shoddy "Jason v Freddy"  Garbage on epic scales here.
