Friday the 13th "Not a Remake"!
Source: ShockTillYouDrop.com
November 28, 2007

Platinum Dunes' Friday the 13th project. What do you lable it? Remake? Re-launch?

After speaking to a source close to the project who wishes to stay outside of the spotlight (for now), we're striking the former term out of future reports on the film.

"It's not a remake," says our insider. Don't even expect an origin tale - as some production listings around Hollywood are pegging it as. Imagine if there was a story to be told somewhere between parts two and four, just add water (from Camp Crystal Lake, duh), insert a leaner, meaner, faster Jason Voorhees, set to "blend" and you've got the recipe for what Dunes, writers Damian Shannon and Mark Swift and director Marcus Nispel got cookin'.

So it's kind of like Superman Returns, where it picks up in between two previous sequels. I like that idea.

WaW! that's a good news. Hopefully it'll be a great comeback for Jason Voorhees...my all time favorite horror icon.:)

It can't get any worse than "Jason X," so they might as well go for it. I like the idea, too.

To be honest, Jason X is a guilty pleasure. It was stupid, but fun (like most of F13 films) And it sure as hell was better than that awful Jason Goes to Hell. I felt as if I was in hell while watching that movie.

As a comic book fan, I'm viewing this as "Ultimate Jason"--a streamlined, outside-of-continuity version of the character.

Totally agree with you. JGTH was worst of the series. I think it genuinely worth to win the title of "Worst sequel of all time.":mad:

I also agree JGTH blows. I had the displeasure of seeing it in the theater. It's NOT even Jason ...it's a damn worm, WTF!!!!
Pt. 8 Jason Takes Manhatten was equally as worthless.

That is kind of what Jason x was....

I liked all of them.. Even bad Friday the 13th movies are good ones for me.

Of course there are some that stand out as great ones, but fuck it, what ever, just give me more!

I do. I want Platinum membership with the keychain and sweatshirt. I liked Takes Manhattan, although I wish he'd spent more time in Manhattan, and possibly run into Woody Allen. The Muppets took Manhattan more than Jason did. There was too much of that boat bullshit.

I've got an excellent idea. Michael Myers gets frozen and sent to the future. He's cooking a meal when the oven blows up and he's nearly killed...except he's near a repair machine. He becomes Michael Y. Jason, who at this point is low on cash, delivers the milk, but when Michael tastes it, it's sour. They do a benny hill type chase scene which ends with them somehow getting on a space ship. Then...they fight.

i really liked JX until it embraced its silliness too much (with the holodeck Jason smashing the chick in the sleeping bag) - Jason was always silly but you can't make it too obvoius you are trying to be campy

What scared me about Jason was that he was a slow moving lurch who you still couldn't escape no matter how fast you ran. I won't complain though, a new friday the 13th movie couldn't be any worse than any of the others. :p

LMAO......:p

I've never been a huge Friday the 13th fan (and personally believe the first one to be mostly dull and overrated, though they were a couple of cool death scenes), but most of them are fun. Jason Goes to Hell really is pretty awful though.
As far as the remake (or whatever the hell it is) goes, it might be okay. I'm not expecting much. But I never do. :)

This sounds a little like the Wildstorm comics of Jason, but only in that it takes place at a random time in the history of Jason, and only at a time where Jason isn't incapacitated between flicks.

The thing is, will he have his hockey mask? He only picked that up in pt 3, but if he doesn't have it, he's not Jason. It's just that simple.

My favorite movie of the series is The Final Chapter, however, I liked Kane Hodder being Jason and I didn't like A New Beginning as it wasn't about Jason, really.

I'd like to join the Jason Goes To Hell: It was Hell club. I thought the movie was a total flop and it pissed me off. I don't like the title anyway because my son's name is Jason and the film came out when he was only 5. I was afraid to let him see or hear that title.

I've seen the whole series and the remakes of The Hitcher, Halloween, and TCM so I'll probably watch the new film.

it should be a good enough watch and as long as they keep the weird kill kill kill kill die die die die I should be happy.

I always thought it was ch ch ch ch ha ha ha ha. I really do need subtitles! I think the score is creepy and I like it nonetheless. I agree with Ferret.

EDIT: I didn't care for Jason X.

Actually he did run in the first few films he was in, I don't think it was until zombie Jason (part 6) that he suddenly could just walk and all of sudden be there right behind you or in front of you.....:p

I don't think it looks TOO bad. I will give it a watch.

Maybe. Those movies are classic id hate to see them ruined because of new age thinking. I didnt like the Halloween remake because it was nothing like the first one. It should of been just Halloween 9 Michael Myers Revenge or something like that.

*sighs* Good grief.....in the first THREE films that Jason was in (as adult, killer Jason) he DID run. So the running is not a new thing. Everyone that doesn't remember this, and only remembers ZOMBIE Jason....watch this....;)

How about no attitude :) and i guess i didnt realize he ran as much as he did my bad lol but still Rob Zombie did ruin the Halloween remake.

I hope they don't screw this up...I've loved this franchise since I was a kid (was even named after the guy) and I really hope they don't just throw the classic style out the window. If anything kills this movie, it will be some Hollywood dickhead thinking that he can "do it better" while throwing the classic feel out the window. I know 13th part 9 sucked on purpose to get it away from Paramount, who didn't care about the franchise anymore...but after "Freddy Vs. Jason" I think the point stands that people still love these films. I mis Kane Hodder playing Jason, but maybe the new guy taking up the role will use Kane as an example of "the right way". We'll see I guess.

Fav. Friday the 13th movie: Friday the 13th Part 6: Jason Lives...It was the first one I got to see on the silver screen and being in a theater where the crowd cheered Jason on while he did his thing was awesome...It was a great theater experience, thus I'll always have a soft spot for the film...

:D

Im sorry if i took it the wrong way. My bad again :o lol I guess its because thats just how alot of movies were then the killers walked. I have to agree with Jason Grimm aswell i hope they keep the feeling of the movie alive.

Don't worry about it, that's why I am so free with my smiley usage....its easy to take things the wrong way online. :)
Anyway, I am not much of a Friday the 13th fan (I find the first one pretty uninteresting except for the death scenes, and the others are entertaining, but not exactly sacred to me), so I think I have a better chance of enjoying this remake than a lot of others. But I find the sheer number of remakes we're getting lately, just ridiculous. There are some good ones, obviously, but I've given up on the filmmakers actually being respectful of the original films. I go in with low expectations.
But the Black Christmas remake just pissed me off...lol.

I agree totally i mean Friday the 13th was never sacred to me or anything either so i wont like pound my fist with fury and sheer pissed offness when i see it and it sucks (if it does) but halloween pissed me off and black christmas was a disaster when did it ever mension in the original that billys mom liked having sex with him? It was stupid same with the when a stranger calls remake.

Yeah, I had the same problem with the Halloween remake that I had with the Black Christmas one.....too much backstory, I think Black Christmas was the worst offender I thought just because it was so freakin' ridiculous. Both of the original films were scary because of what you DIDN'T know or understand. Both remakes kind of stomped all over that idea. Subtlety kind of flew out the window there.

But we'll see, maybe they didn't make the same mistakes here. I mean, other than the obvious mistake of making it in the first place. haha. It could be fun.

10-28-2008, 02:14 PM

Of course, I dont believe that Rob Zombie butchered the halloween remake. You gotta think its ROB ZOMBIE, he is a sick fuck. you know he wouldn't make it exactly like the first one. He said he would never do another remake....so we will see.

back on topic:
But I dont think this will be bad at all...I just wish that we could get some new ideas from writers and stop remaking old movies. The trailor for this movie looks like its going to be pretty bad ass...no matter how good this movie is, someone won't like it because its a remake....

Well i want to see it Never saw a FT13 movie in the theater so this will be cool. Now i just watcher the first four friday the 13ths and i believe that that parts 2-4 take place on the same weekend or week is this true? If it is true then what could happen in between 2 and 4 like it said in the beginning of this thread.

I could see parts 2 and 3 taking place pretty close to each other, and maybe even in the same week since the news reports that are airing in the beginning of 3 indicate that the murders in part 2 just happened. Then, in part 4, Jason starts killing just after he's delivered to the morgue after dying in part 3.

Part 5 is Bullshit......

Part 6 continues where 4 left off, with Tommy Jarvis all grown up, but with Jason in the ground. Unfortunately, all of Jason's time is accounted for since part 2, so there aren't any gaps that would allow for Jason to take any extra killing sprees.
