Merrick here...
Jared Padalecki, who stars as paranormal investigator/cleaner Sam Winchester on TV's SUPERNATURAL, will be the non-Jason lead in the FRIDAY THE 13th remake...which is about to film in Austin.
Padalecki will play the lead, who investigates what happened up at Crystal Lake.

So...he's investigating again?
This is the third remake/pseudo-remake for Padalecki, who has previously appeared in the HOUSE OF WAX and FLIGHT OF THE PHOENIX re-dos.

-
Crystal lake. This movie gonna blow
-
I got confused I though this was Freddy, wrong bad remake. I was like Not Ben Forster?
-
I didn't think he was really all that cool in 3:10, to homoerotic tension between him and Gladiator to really be cool. That and he seemed more like a mentally retarded guy, like Malcovitch in that cool movie Of Mice and men.
-
Whos directing this? TO IMDB I GO!!!
-
...complete nobodys like the original. the best horror films need to have that verite feel to be even slightly scary.
-
IS DIRECTING.... WHHHHHATTT! Pathfinder sucked donkey Balls. but Texas Chainsaw was okie dokie, then again the original doesn't hold a special place in my heart. I'm not from Teh HAW!
-
He's from Frank Frankfurt Deutschland. He did work with Faith No More, I wonder who did the Epic video that shit was TIGHT!
-
directed Epic.... and he's gone on to do pretty much nothing. Good on him.
-
Direct to Video.
-
Andrew Bryniarski being Jason? Hopefully he is allowed to reprise his role as Zangief in the upcoming Street Fighting movie. Also NOTE TO Criterion when are you going to release your so hyped edition of Street Fighter on DVD?
-
Bosses gone for the week, thats why I've been all over the chat like jiz on your bed sheets.
-
is in this as well speaking of her. I gotta go drop a yustman in the toilet, what a fucking horrible name.
-
Seriously, what is the job description, "Tall heavy-set male who can walk slowly"?
-
Is that thing set for Jason Varhees are is there some code to show releated shit based on the site. Its like the Joker link on the Heath Ledger is dead talk back.
-
If they truly wanted to honor Friday the 13th as it was originally meant to be, the Jason character should barely be in this film, if at all. His mother was originally conceived as the killer!
-
Oh yeah he is the guy who struts around with Robert Englund and Tony Todd. Cashing in on there characters to show up in every B-moive horror movie known to man. Wait Kane Hodder has moved on Artistically to become the screaming phsyco (instead of the quiet phsyco) of the Harry masterbation fest, Hatchet.
-
Fuck Hatchet, give me more Feast. That movie was awesome and not a total rip off of something better. Also I feel that out of Todd, Hodder and Englund, Robert is the only one who deserves the most cameos in a lifetime award. A) Because he probably does have twice as mainy as the other 2 because well he is a creepier looking dude and funnier. B) He was Freddy, Hodder wasn't all of the Jasons and Candyman wasn't big enough to give a shit. Freddy is by far the coolest horror character ever. Because he's the phsyco killer with one-liners.
-
ooohhhh wait is not the same thing. Damn. Is the Freddy Series out on dvd? TO AMAZON I GO!
-
But there is a soundtrack from the movies available. The only thing I remember from the series is a scene where Freddy like walks through a Drive thru and slices the window guy head off. Anyone scene the MacFarlane Nightmare on Elmstreet 3D poster? I want that, they got one for Friday the 13th as well, they are awesome! I wish they make tons and tons more of them. I only got the Robocop one.
-
The old video game? Anyone ever played it? What system was it on NES?
-
A short Jason.
-
Did anyone know that Phillip Glass did the music for that movie? And the sequel was directed by Billiam Fucking Condon! (no i don't really care about Bill Condon directing it, just trying to sound like Harry). Anyone seen the sequels to Candyman?
-
Why not have Jared play his character of Sam Winchester from Supernatural and get Jensen Ackles as Dean and have the Winchester brothers hunt Jason what a movie that would be.
-
This remake and the Nightmare on Elm Street re-make is that there would be the SLIGHT SLIGHT hope that some cool movie theaters will have a marathon of all the old movies leading up to the new one. Which all and all will probably make the new ones look worse but it would still be fun. Too bad movie theaters now a days are too worried about getting in the maximum number of screenings of Alvein and the Chipmunks and In the Name of the King: A Dungeon Siege Tale to make going to the movies fun. MAN i fucking pass an old theater thats been closed down and is for sale every day, EVERY DAMN DAY! It used to be a dollar theater, but has since closed down and its for sale for what I've heard around 1 million dollars (LIKE Dr. EVIL!). Every time I drive by that place I think of all the cool and fun things I could do with it and how i would run it. It probably shut down because there is another theater like less then a mile away and then a much newer bigger theater less then 5 minutes up the road. Who wants to go in and invest in this place? i got around 30 thousand I can throw down already.
-
Considering that part VII, where he fights a Carrie-like girl, actually was pretty good, that might not be the worse idea out there.
-
friday the 13th are both funded by the CW? ...yippie
-
"who stars as paranormal investigator/cleaner Sam Winchester on TV's SUPERNATURAL"
Clearly, you've never watched the show...which is a shame, because it's pretty damned awesome. -
Jared from Subway might have been better choice.
-
it's now official it won't be a remake!!! sounds good to me!!!
-
Serious, usually I'm up in arms about the remaking of classic horror movies, but I just don't care about this one. Go ahead. Maybe cause the original series was so uninspired and unimaginative. I guess I don't think the movie they make now will be drastically worse, and there's even the chance on improving the original. OK, I'm going to get slammed for that. I never found the originals to be remotely scary, just good gore for the time.
-
My last subject line was meant to read "IS it blasphemy to not care." Balls.
-
I dunno what ever happened to that, I missed a few eps (it's actually a really good show, and deserves better than being lumped after Shitville), but I think I would have heard something if it aired.

What crime is there to investigate? F13thPart1 is the 1st crime
by george newman
What crime is there to investigate? F13thPart1 is the 1st crime/set of murders to take place at crystal lake.
Are they just skipping over the Mrs. Vorhees stuff? *fart sound* -
Or is that way too much to ask.
-
No one can lurch like him.fl
-
I will only respect this remake if Robert Downey Jr. plays a black man in it.
-
Fingers crossed.
-
That actually was supposed to happen this season in the nightmare episode (or at least a Jason cameo), but didn't. I think we now know why.
-
Padalecki (Why do I keep calling him Paledecki?) would be great as Cyclops. Rosenbaum would be even better, but he's a bit too old for the role if they hit the reset.
-
Tyler Mane, or Glenn Jacobs.
-
I haven't been keeping up.
-
And how about a greenlight for the remake of this that has not yet got the greenlight for the remake of . . .
-
swoon
-
Yeah, that's right. This dude was "Young MacGyver" in 2003.

Again I say....the originals were not that great!
by reel american hero
In fact they were pretty shitty even. They're more entertaining in an MST3K style way then viewing them as actual horror.
So, I sincerely doubt anyone, including Michael Bay could fuck up Jason worse then the films have already portrayed him. He's an iconic character yes, the look is pretty badass, but that is it. The originals were not some nigh untouchable holy grail of horror films. There are plenty of better movies out there. If anything they can only make it better, cause it couldn't get any worse.
Now, remaking Nightmare On Elm Street is just blasphemy mind you, at least the first one, and the third one were damn near just awesome. The rest aren't as great, but they're still a million times better than anything thus far in the Friday the 13th series. -
Move along nothing to see here....
-
True, except Michael Bay can and in fact will definitely ruin the fun of those movies. So far Platinum Dunes movies have not been good but they have also not been stupid fun. They're more about nihilism and TV commercial style fetishistic gazing at dirty sweaty skin and sunsets than about the surge of adrenaline an audience should get from watching the protagonist try to get away.
The originals are mostly bad movies but they have a simplicity and rawness to them that makes them fun. It should be way easier to remake than Texas Chain Saw, but these guys couldn't remake Baby Geniuses without making you think "You know, in retrospect the original had a certain charm to it that is missing here." Note that they chose the same director and even location as their crappy Chain Saw remake. Crystal Lake is in Texas now? I hope they have cowboy hats and fake accents like Jessica Biel in Chain Saw. -

I remember watching Friday the 13th on Beta in 1983 or so.
by pops freshemeyer
Hadn't seen it since. And then I was changing the channel a month or two ago and it was on cable. Tried watching it and it's pretty freaking bad. Not quite as bad as The Patriot, or Gone in 60 Seconds, but still pretty bad. I honestly can't see any reason why anybody would want to see a remake, other than to see the chicks who are paid to get naked...
-
If this was kind of a crossover for Supernatural. Don't bring any of the side characters or huge plot points into the movie, but have the Winchester brothers investigating Jason. Thatd be sweet shit.
I should say that I am NOT a Supernatural fanboy; I've watched the show like twice. It's just a sweet idea. -
Perfect casting and she'll be available in a just a few months. I'm not excited about this latest addendum to a tired, moronic cash cow; all of the sequels to the 1980 movie we're basically remakes of the first FRIDAY--I mean, what's the point? JASON X was a pathetic piece of shit (never mind the lousy acting, script, editing, direction, et al--the film's only real hotty functioned as the first victim!). But it also had the best scene in the entire series (promiscuous/intoxicated bimbos trying to beckon Jason into the digital Camp Crystal; very funny and probably developed by an outside influence).
-
That was one of the better sequels. As far as Supernatural goes I hope and pray that CW dosn't fuck it over like they did Angel. That show along with Reaper (and Smallville which is getting better) is the only reason I watch that Godforsaken network. Both of the leads in that series are great and who ever is writting is my new favorite of all times. They just get the whole brother dynamic down pat,the conversations and nonsappy closeness....I'm just a big ass geek for that show right now.
-
Kevin Bacon, all scrawny and stubbly, wandering around the woods going, "Don't go there..it's evil..EEVVVVIIILLLLL!!!"
-
Evil gets an upgrade? Pure gold. I like how the upgrade is just falling into a bunch of wires that transform him into super metal Jason. The best part (besides Cronenberg's scene of course) is when he freezes that chick's head and smashes it.
-
I've seen every episode and I've just never heard anything about it.They did have a guy killing people in dreams but he was far from being a Freddy type. It would be cool to start having some cross overs like that. I've been dying for a Bruce Campbell appearance on there as like the ultimate demon hunter, damn i'm geeking out today. Time to go to work.

Who cares. They raped Halloween. Friday the 13th deserves shit.
by the gospel according to bastardface
-
I'd but that for a dollar.
-
Okay, they're almost all digital now, but you know what I mean. I want to see Kane Hodder really go after these guys. This ain't right man.
-
Starring Ryan Seacrest.
-
The movie also did a scene which they did in I think part 7. The sleeping bag kill. check this out.

kills. http://www.i-mockery.com/minimocks/jason-10kills/
-
part 1-4 are friggin classics!
-
Jason stalks a town killing teenagers while Sam mopes about his dead mother and weird psychic armies. Movie ends with Dean hacking off Jason's appendages while eating a burrito and some pie. Jensen Ackles is immediately nominated for every major acting award on the planet.
-
I'm gonna hack this guy. And hack this other guy! Then, I'll sit back and watch bloood spurrrt!
-
I'd watch that episode of Supernatural before I'd pay to see this turd.
Unless Ash shows up at some point. -
There, I said it, and I'm still not gay.

I'm not remotely interested in this particular remake, but it does once again raise the issue of the serious lack of risk-taking in what should be--and certainly what once was--a creative industry. Of course, with so much money on the line, it's understandable that studios want to reduce the risk as much as possible by sticking with tried and tested brand name projects, but they do seem to be missing a trick. The films that make it big, and even sometimes become classics, tend be fairly original. The reason for this is that audiences do in fact appreciate fresh stories. There really is an appetite for it out here, not just among the die-hard fans but among audiences in general. Spielberg did not become a legend because he reheated somebody else's product. If we are to blame anybody for this remake insanity, then it must be Dino D. for producing a needless, money-grabbing adaptation of Red Dragon, already brilliantly adapted by Michael Mann not so long before as Manhunter. Mann's film was only just beginning to be recognized as a superior thriller--certainly superior to Silence in its depiction of Lecter--when Dino decided to cash in. Suddenly, it was no longer considered sacrilege in the business to remake recognized classics. When they did The Omen over, well, hell, nothing was safe. As I said, I'm not interested in a Friday remake, and I'm no fan of the original's rather shoddy effort to leap on the slasher bandwagon of the time, but nevertheless I will defend it, because it really doesn't need to be remade, does it?
-
I'm with all you guys who think the originals are crap and can't get worse, this Jason Voorhees guy is way better in comedy than he ever was in horror. He should stick to Jason X type stuff.
-
YOU GOTS TO HAVE BOBBY, MAN!!!
-
He's definitely shown some serious acting skills on Supernatural, although he probably won't need them in a Friday the 13th flick!
-
Supernatural is a pretty good show but not even the Winchesters can save a Friday the 13th movie.
-
I remember renting the original Friday 13th films in the 80's, and I admit....I enjoyed them (they were my first slasher films) The New Beginning was a fuckup though, they should have left him dead...and the rest are comical. I just wish Jason had gutted and finally killed off that smiling caricature that Freddy has become.
-
A remake has to be completely over-the-top, more Braindead than Halloween. Audiences just don't buy this 80's shit anymore.

Friday the 13th The Series beat the hell out of the movies.
by cletus van damme
That's right, call me an ignorant slut if you like, but if you haven't seen it, it's was a great concept. You can catch it daily on the Chiller channel if you have it. It's somewhat similar to Reaper, but more serious-toned. I forgot about all the guest stars that started out there, like Lolita Davidovich, David Proval, Colm Feore, Jill Hennessey, R.G. Armstrong, etc.
If you haven't seen it, give it a look. Effers need to put the series on DVD soon. -
I loves me Friday 1-2-3-4-5.
And they are fun fucking movies. This one follows a Girly Man Investigating the legend at an abandoned Campsite. Blair Witch/X-Files/Friday the13th ..... Fuck the FvsJ Scribes and Fuck Platinum Dunes!!!
The fans wanted
Camp Crystal Lake in Summer, Chockfull of Teen Concilors and Kids- The false IMDB plot involving Special Needs Kids' sounded Great!
Creative Kills.
TNA
A group of Losers-Guys, Who's only summer plan/bet rested souly on who could e with the "Out Of They're League" Chick.
Sure it's not too different for the first 5 films, but it's fun God Damn It!
This Film Doesnt have to be a Batman Begins. Theres too much Cock in the film already!
Platinum Fucked This Up!
They So Fucked This Up!
-
You Will Pay!!!
-
I was home with that badass cold about 6 weeks ago and watched Chiller for about 3 days straight. Colm Feore was in two episodes actually, I only knew of one, but I just checked IMDB and they have him down for two there.
Not only are you right about Chiller, but you're spot on about his Linoge...."Born in sin, come on in...." gives me chills still. -
dialog. It was basically a run shit fest in the woods.
-
I still dont know who the fuck Jared padalecki is or what he looks like..and ive seen him in all 3 of those movies mentioned above..Is he NOt memorable enough maybe? whats worse is that i live in the same town where hes from..Ive no san antonio pride...teee
-
What the fuck is with Platinum Dunes and explaining every single mundane detail about classic movies? Let's investigate Leatherface's background, in two flicks, the Amityville background, and now we're investigating what happened 'up at Crystal Lake?' ENOUGH! Just tell me a fucking story, I don't need all this goddamn background info.
-

They really can't fuck up this series if you think about it.....
by crackerfarmboy
I mean, it's not like it was a work of art up to this point anyways. Sure Part 4 is a classic horror film but beyond that the series is pretty weak, no?
-
Up up and awaaay!
-
I was impassioned with this film when it was originally released. Then I got lukewarm. And now I think it kicks ass. Oh, how beastly, what were we talking about?
-
I am a huge F13 fan; the gore, the sketchy acting, the loosey goosey continuity. They have a certain charm. But I will NOT be seeing this remake in theaters, or paying for it in any form. It will likely be a mediocore yawnfest; too bad to be good, too good to be bad, too disconnected from the previous films for me to care about it in any way. But hey, the teenyboppers will shell out enough money for it to make a marginal profit, and that's all that matters, right?

Hope this one dies a slow, lingering death at the hands of Mrs V
by charlie & tex
...always nice to have something to hope for!
-
Just you wait!
-
They should make that for TV!
-
The man is HUGE. 6"4" or 6"5". Wonder if his accent will become more pronounced while filming too as he's a Texas boy after all.
-
Most of the series is not "good" by normal snob standards, but it is fun, and alot of what is so "bad" about it is what makes it fun. The Platinum Dunes movies so far are terrible movies but to me not in a funny or enjoyable way, just in a frustrating and depressing way.
But also, I don't know if anybody else has brought this up before: what about Sean Cunningham's decades long dream of making 13 movies? He made it all the way up to ten (11 if you count FREDDY VS. JASON, which you probaly shouldn't since it's more of an ELM STREET format) and you fucks are gonna stop him in his tracks? Even if you count this as #11 or #12 it's still likely to prevent it ever from happening since they use the hit and run approach of just making a quick buck on the opening weekend by using a recognizable title and then that's the end of that forever because nobody wants to watch that shit again. -
If the people who made F13 part 2 had not done it. If I recall correctly this was some company/group whatever made their movie by stealing the Jason and Camp Crystal lake concept from the guys who did the first one. Then, they got sued for it. That's what I heard anyway. Now, if that's true, and the guys who made the first one stopped there at number one, where would we be?
-
In a non-dead talkback!
-
It doesn't make me a snob that I think the movies are lame. I like to be scared by horror movies - F13 movies didn't care about scary. They cared about gore and nudity. Hey, that can be fun too, and like I said before, I've seen them all (did them all in a week once, cause I liked to see the connection between the how he "died" and then would come back in the next). But they're hardly sacred cows. I'm no supporter of Platinum Dunes, I'd be as happy as anyone if they went under today. I just don't think of this the same way I think of the Nightmare or Rosemary's Baby remakes. To me, no big deal. Even if they do wreck it (shrug).
-
I saw both the first Nightmare and the 3rd Friday when I was six, thanks to a friend's older sister. I was WRECKED by Nightmare - couldn't sleep well for about a month. Even at six, Friday didn't affect me that much. Just too blah.
-
Because the casting breakdown that went out before didn't talk about an investigation. U sure some overweight Supernatural fangirl didn't break this news. Jason was supposed to be on Supernatural this season and it fell through. So I'm skeptical that this is legit.

Scary Movies are no longer scary and they can't really be for us
by thepilgrim
Anymore!!! Once your nearing your 30's or 40's thats it!!! Nothing can compare too CNN and your own mortality!
If you trying to make Friday Scary, your a fool!!! Just make it fun... Add some pretty Tits, and some lovable Losers who want to grab those tits. Inject some potty humor, add Drugs and kill them all off in real cool creative ways..
I want the Chud.com leaked Opening Pothead Slaughterfest (Going down in winter with a iced over lake) It's quick to the point and it gives us the campfire Voorhees backstory explaining why Jason is.
Then the opening credits. After this We return to the camp. It's Summertime... and now we run with the "Rumored" IMDB plot involving
a mixed group of kids comprised of retards, deformers, and psychically handicappers. They arrive via Bus to the camp ala Meatballs with another group of Camp Councilors- Who's raster is mainly cute ass barrrrrrrelllly Legal Teens- with big ass's and big tits.
Our Handicapped R-Tards bond, they all make a big money bet one who will be the first to get some sweet action from one of the hot camp councilors.
The game is set into play, One night one of the Tards notices one of the hot female camp councilors sneaking off into the woods with another male councilor. Our Tard runs to the the cabins and wakes the other Tards, and they all sneak out into the woods to peeptom the fuckfest. Jason shows up he kills the councilors screwing, and then he goes after our Tarded kids.
He kills two of our loveable R-Tards.
The other R-Tards manage too escape back to camp.
They run into the Recreation room and tell all the Councilors what happened.
No one believes them, but since two of the R-Tards are missing. They decide too look into it, Promising severe punishment if this is a joke. they take one of the R-tards with them and they go back out to the woods with flash lights.... The rest of the R-tards and Left at the camp with one Councilor.
You mean too tell me that you guys can't do it more like this and less like CSI/XFILES/BLAIR WITCH? -
...makes you wonder why the show dosen't get much love on this site. i mean, it's pretty much like that "buffy vampire" show, except when you watch "supernatural" you don't have to question your sexuality.
-
Jared Padalecki shouldn't do the Friday 13th movie. There was some talk about Jason appearing in Supernatural, but somehow it fell through. I still keep my fingers crossed that eventually Jason will appear in Supernatural and that should be awesome beyond awesome.
-
Amanda Bynes wouldn't make a worse lead.
-
supernatural is not a good show and it never was. it might be good if it didnt have both the model-casting disease and the shittiest-writing disease.
-
Kirsten Baker (GAS PUMP GIRLS), performing the "skinny dip" scene in FRIDAY/13TH, PART 2. Perhaps the most memorable scene in the series.
A resistance to the FRIDAY franchise prompts snobbery? What an asshole. Face it: they're lousy movies, the scripts are beneath contempt (they make Ed Wood look comparatively like Joseph L. Mankiewicz). As for JASON X, exempting the showdown between Jason and the bimbos at a digitized Crystal Lake, it looked like a home movie produced by the team that pasted together the KENAN & KEL series. And I have no doubt the (admittedly funny) Crystal Lake scene was pitched by an outsider--in fact, it's way too good for this 'ole chesnut of a series. -
Looks like you haven't been watching season three. And as far as "shittiest-writing disease"? If that's the shittiest written show, you must not watch a lot of television. The show fucking rules.
