It's Major Kira -vs- Jason In The FRIDAY THE 13th Remake!! But Not For Long...
Merrick here...
Dave sent in this fun tidbit from this weekend's Starfest.
I just got back from Starfest up in Denver and got some news over the weekend that you might be interested in. We got to talk with Nana Visitor (Deep Space Nine) and she told us that she's going to be playing Pamela Voorhees in the Friday the 13th remake. She's already had a mold cast of her head and she said she won't be in the film for very long before she's decapitated.
I put up the story HERE.
Dave
Ahh, Nana. How I've missed thee...
I'm assuming Visitor's sequence will parallel this one from the original films:

never been fan of the Friday the 13th flicks anyway.
-
please.
-
that's sexual fantasy for kids. Gimme some Alison Lohman or Eva Green any day of the week.
-
and some upper lobe earrings and a catpuke colored bodysuit.
-
That little MILF!
-
the only thing making me interested in this flick is that Cloverfield's Odette Yustman is in it. DAMN she's hot!!
-
That Jason doesn't even kill anyone in this movie until the very end. So, is the killer in this one going to be Jason's Mom or Jason himself or someone else.
-
... did she play the snarky, feisty chick that got bit by the monster-lice and unfortunately ended up exploding? She's the only girl I thought was hot in that movie. The rest were whiney and annoying.
-
...the Blu-Ray copy there? Amazing quality! Is that why studios are remaking these old films, coz it would be more expensive to upgrade it to HD than it would be to allow some music vid director to remake it from scratch?
-
She looks like a nut. I approve.
-
for work.
-
I hear she shows up on BSG later on in the season, which is of course the new stomping grounds of her old BSG boss, Ronald D. Moore. -
I can see where DS9 ruined her career. What I can't understand is how it ruined Avery Brooks' career.
-
Have it be unknown if it's Jason or his mom doing the killing the first half of the movie or so, and then just to fuck with the people who know every intricity of the Friday The 13th (fuck abbreviations) canon, they'll have his mom show up, only to get beheaded by Jason himself. I can only hope that they do without 45 minutes of young Jason's troubled childhood before we get to the boobs and gore. Which is essentialy what I'm paying for when I go see a Friday The 13th movie. -
Gul Dukat strikes again!
-
...that'd really fuck with fans and general audiences alike.
-
thanks
-
The coalition of Genitically Altered, Mentally Challenged, Living Impaired, Country Dwellers or(Mutant-Retarded-Zombie-Hillbillies) they're quite sensetive, you know.
-
I was always a big fan of Mrs V's fishermen's knit sweater in the first film. Very L.L. Bean.
Where was I? Oh Yeah, KIll her mommy! Kill her! -
Very Good Sir...
-
Jason, as portrayed in the original Friday the 13th, is the VICTIM, not the killer. Even Ms. Voorhees is a tragic figure who went over the edge as a result of the immense pain and anguish she felt. The true villain in the original Friday the 13th is good old fashioned teenage lust.

I hope they remake American Werewolf one of these days.
by knuckleduster
Did you see how shitty those effects are? It definitely needs a CG reboot. Nothing looks better than computer generated werewolves. And the music in that movie is so old. Why not add some cool emo tunes. And get that sexy kid from High School Musical to play the werewolf. He's sooooo dreamy. And he can sing. We definitely need the werewolf to sing. Ooh, and penguins! The remake has to have penguins.
-
They weren't watching my boy when he was swimming. There were too busy making filthily love! Kill them mommy! Kill them!
-
now that Halloween's been butchered. What the fuck is the point of "remaking" Friday 13th and changing the killer to Jason. It just fucks me off no end. It's a blatant marketing driven clusterfuck designed to appeal to overly hormonal teenagers who can text message their friends while screaming on cue. I fucking hate it.
-
I was never a Major Kira (or DS9) fan, but that's a pretty cute picture of Nana Visitor in the article.
I did used to work with a girl that looked a lot like Odo, and that was pretty creepy. -
Must have bugged her that he got roles in Kindom of Heaven, Syriana, 24 and any time a movie or TV show needed a dignified middle eastern dude(which is a LOT these days!
-
seriously, I'm trying to picture Bashir in my head and keep getting Gaius.
-
Nana Visitor played a knife-wielding schizophrenic nutball on an episode of Night Court (no kidding). So her career's come full circle...
-
You're going to give some fool producer in Hollywood stupid ideas. Wait...nevermind, they breathe stupid ideas.American Werewolf in London is un-remakable. Just try and find some 20-something as hot as Jenny Agutter was back then. Just try! And did you see her in Logan's Run? Madre de Dios!
-
(I swear) the one episode of Matlock I've seen. She played a shy, mousy woman with glasses who had a split personality and she suddenly transformed while on the witness stand into a confident vixen! It was a pretty amazing performance now that I remember it.
-
but damn, that's an attractive woman. Not sure if I want to see her get, you know, beheaded and shit.
-
All of them. They are not good or classic movies by any stretch of the imagination. Jason Voorhees is a horror icon, but the movies are crap. They're entertaining peices of crap. There's no way around it. They were first concieved as a Halloween knockoff, which in time the series grew to be the #2 80's horror icon after Freddy Kreguer. I love the movies, but they're not untouchable classics perfect as they are. A remake can only improve on the franchise, even if Michael Bay is somewhere involved in it's production. -
While I agree with every word you say about remakes - Michael THE BASTARD Bay is remaking my beloved EXORCIST soon, and I am LIVID! - you run the risk of becoming as much a miserable bastard as I am. Don't let yourself go there, my friend - life has some ups! It does! It really does!?!?
-
You sick bastard! AAAAAAGHH!!! I'll never get that out of my head now! You sick puppy!
It's like seeing a younger sister nekkid, or something. Aaaaghh!!! -
You called it. There is no actress today that has what Jenny Agutter had back in the LOGAN days. Great movie, even greater hooters. Madre de Dios indeed!
-
You would think by now that the starlets would learn to wear some knickers when photographers are about. I feel dirty for immediately going to that link. Major Kira was an obnoxious character, but this seems like good casting
-
The sequels are all incestuous remakes of Part II. The only memorable scene in the FRIDAY franchise was in the execrable JASON X (two topless bimbos, in the digital Crystal Lake, appealing to Jason with titties and pot. It was just too clever to be inserted within a shitty movie). Wait, I enjoyed the 007 exposition in Part VI (all 10 seconds of it); the film was promising, in regard to humor, but the punch lines were blunted with carnage (there's a scene where a girl is lifted into the air and her slippers plunge to the ground; very funny in context, but there's a cut to the girl's bleeding body. It turns out that the scene did conclude with the slippers but some shit-for-brains exec insisted on editing-in a "money shot". Hell, Jason should be saddled with a beer-guzzling brother-in-law (played by a really rotund Wayne Knight or whatever); otherwise, it's the same 'ole predictable scenario.
-
Did I dream that!??!I remember hearing that this is a psuedo-sequel that takes place in-between like 3 and 4. That is the ONLY thing that has kept me from full on hate mode.
-
Mrs. Voorhees dies in the beginning?!?!?! Anyone else think this "remake" should be all ABOUT Mrs. Voorhees? Could actually be interesting to see struggling single mom Mrs. Voorhees sending her mongoloid kid "Jason" to camp to have a break, then promptly going insane when he dies because of the negligence of oversexed teenagers.
This was a cautionary tale in the 70s still relevant today. Let's do this some justice! -
Nice Finkle Nice. Laces out Dan!
-
I can't remember...how was it that Jason was fully grown!? Also, did they just say that him jumping out of the Lake in ONE was just a dream!? The series is classic, but in no way "untouchable".
-
He had that recurring role as a yokel that ran the newsstand in the courthouse...and of course we all know John Laroquette as the infamous Klingon Maltz from STIII - nerd alert.
-
Major TATAS!
-
Major League Yaboos!
-
Thsi is gonna be sweeet!
-
I agree, Friday the 13th films are terrible. But it's because they're so terrible that I watch them. They're perfect for mindless entertainment around Halloween time or with bunch of friends and a case of beer. If you think about it, all of them are remakes in themselves. They're all formulaic and predictable cinematic time capsules from the 1980s. I just don’t think they translate well into the 21st century and should be left alone. Jason X was god awful, and this re-make (as all re-makes) is going to totally suck (and not in a good way). It’s going to take itself way too seriously and incorporate modern “torture porn” crap to appeal to the mass audience.
-
*sigh* My first celebrity crush and definitely the hottest Star Trek actress EVER!
-
the Fast and the Furious series twenty years down the line. Unlles of course they'll still be make something like 18Fast 13Furious by then
-
These days I wouldn't be surprised. Now buy a box of cookies, or they'll cut you.
-
Denise Crosby, anyone? Marina Sirtis??
-
Always thought she was the super-hottie of the show. Sure..Jadzia-dax or whatever was hot but after she banged thought fucking tossbag on Howard Stern I lost all respect for her. And I do remember seeing Nana on Night Court as the psycho as well as with long hair on an ancient episode of Ironsides of one of those idiot court-drama shows from the 80's. Of course...I had a bit of a pathology too...we used to call my Grandmother "Nana" and that didn't bode well...but fortunately for me I was able to navigate the mental gymnastics necessary to remove Nana Visitor's hotness from the sheer non-hotness of my grandmother when she was alive. Holy shit...I think I just got a headache!
-
Have you ever seen Terry Ferrell's American Red Dwarf pilot. Yeeeeech!
-
Jenny (from Logan's Run) had some nice boobs, but they weren't HUGE or anything. Which is fine, I'm just saying her boobs looked great simply because she was overall a very good-looking woman, meaning, entire package.
-
As the hottest "werewolf" girl.
-
I guess you'd have so say that Kim Catrall pulls even with Kristie Alley.
-
...than Gus van Sant.
-
If you count three episodes as Ensign Lefler as a starring role - nerd alert!
-
WTF?
Does Grando know about this? -
if Peter David's New Frontier series counts--which it probably doesn't.
-
Ensign Lefler was on three episodes? I just know the one with Wesley where they're stuck on that weird game.
-
Ashley Judd was only in two TNG eps - Darmok and the one where the crew of the Enterprise get addicted to a mind control device which gives them spontaneous orgams...
-
Somebody do a study....
-
that he got the funding for Friday The 13th by running an ad for "The most terrifying motion picture ever, from the producer of Last House On The Left" (in Variety I would imagine). When asked if the movie had been shot yet, he said they didn't even have a script at that time.
-
Terry farrell did what to who on Howard Stern??
-
If so, stop soiling the family name with the kiddie porn! And if we aren't related, then...well, meh......
-
I can't view your link, so pardon my assumption if it wasn't what you represented it to be.
-
But Jacki Chan in the Chuck Norris role. The first kung fu comedy horror film!
-
but no Bajor religious stuff, please.
-
It's not his fault Emma Watson has turned into a pantyless tramp.
-
with John Travolta as Professor Dornwinkle and Shannon Elizabeth as Bunny.
-
yes.
-
will end up cutting off his Mom's head. That would be a nice twist.
-
her parents really hated her. DS9 is an underrated classic. The last truly great Star Trek show. In fact, this site would be so much better if they just devoted more time to what the old crew is up to these days. I haven't seen Colm Meany in anything since Layer Cake. I was pleased to see Siddig in Syriana. Great role. But what happened the chick who played Dax and has Jeffrey Combs been in anything non-Star Trek related? These are important questions AICN!
-
Holy shit. Are you telling me that somebody besides me and my best friend have seen "The Invisible Maniac?" You sir, are a kindred spirit to me, and I don't even know who you are. BTW, sorry about the empty post above.
-
during the campfire story tell all tale in the beginning. Stop fooling yourselves into thinking you get her any other way... Jason's back story is summed at a campfire 10 minutes into the film. Chud told you this ages ago... Also all the characters are killed off except Whitney in the first 15 minutes. She looks Like Jasons mother. Clay is her brother he goes up to the camp crystal lake shorty after she disappears to find out what happened too her. His girlfriend goes with him. All those other guys announced, are ganked in the films first 15 minutes.
Please stop with the mindset that they will give Pamela a real showing in this movie. She just a Dissolve Into Scene -
the original was kinda crappy to begin with. If there is a horror film to remake I think Friday the 13th is a good choice. As Tim Burton once said, the first rule of remakes is to never remake a good film. He then went on to break that rule and made the worst film of his career. There's a lesson in that.
-
movies of all time. I just just wish I could do Professor Dornwinkle's laugh. And unless Adam Rifin is a pseudonym, he's the same guy that wrote Underdog.
-
Who wouldn't like to "destabilize her wormhole"
-
Terry Farrell screwed Ralph the hairdresser from Stern. This was years ago- he was hanging out with her in LA and whatever. I also lost all respect for her after banging that douchebag.
-
Second only to Pam Anderson and Jesse Jackson. Cattrall sauntered around the STAR TREK set in the nude, begging for photo-ops--until Pamamount and Nimoy shut her down. She really believes that she's still a sex goddess. She's been cranking-out forgettable movies since 1975 (yeah, I know, she made BIG TROUBLE IN LITTLE CHINA but the film bombed). As for the SEX IN THE CITY movie, I'll pass (mega-chick flick)--it's likely to be Cattrall's swan song. As for this FRIDAY 13TH remake (Jesus, it's already been remade 10x), how about Hillary Clinton as Jason's mom? She'll have nothing to do (as usual) in a month or two, and I can pretty much guarantee the 'ole douchebag would approve the role.

Terry Farrell is hot as hell, huge crush on her back
by crichtonastronut
when DS9 was on. Gotta love a hot chick who out fights Klingons and out gambl Ferengi, while dringking both under the table. Dax was a fun and creative characte, really came into her own in season 2. And she was great in Becker.
-
That's awesome, she did pretty ot version of the song Fever in the DS9 series.
-
Teen voyeur, chastised by his mom, matures into a "peeping tom" prof (great dialogue: I was inexplicably drawn to the girls locker room!"). I recall brief flashes of nudity (should have been a lot more gratuitous). The late porn star Savannah (credited as Shannon Wilsey) had a plum supporting role. Definitely one of the best of Saturday Night Specials (goes down deliciously with weed and saki).
-
Nana Vistor is too young to play an adult Jason and I guarantee they're not going to make her the killer. For one thing, people want to see Jason and in order to have the mom be the killer again and have it be a surprise, they'd have to do the same POV shots, which would be boring asfuck.Ok, Nana's 50. Looks good for 50.
-
I'd watch that!
-
is gonna be in an episode of BSG real soon.
-
like avery brooks, and so many star trek actors, they came to trek from stage and theatre, and mostly went back to it afterwards. is that how it works for you? if someones on tv once and doesnt go on to become a hollywood darling their career was ruined? id call them successful over any washed up coked up LA shithead.
-
Supposedly Colm Meaney is in the "Life on Mars" remake, playing Philip Glennister's Gene Hunt character. On one hand I loathe the idea of this remake of "Life on Mars", but on the other hand I like Colm Meaney, so I'm somehow hoping for the best.
-
I don't think Nana is 50 in this pic (if that's what you're referring to). I've seen her in an upcoming bsg episode and she looks very face-lifty.
-
she's hot. she'll be avery evil mama voorhees!
-
The reason I loathe this remake is not that it is a remake per se- Friday 13th is no untouchable classic,, but that they are abandoning the story to shoehorn Jason in. IF they are going to remake it, then fine, but keep Mrs. VOrhees as the killer- don't for fuck sake make another lowest common denominator piece of shit (ike everything else platinum goons has done).
-
Gawd, I miss that show.
-
The cheapo Weislers would put anybody in that show that has any sort or name recognition. I mean what washed up TV Star HASN'T been in Chicago?
-
forget the F13 remake and just give me a 30 minute movie of that chick showering, suntanning, and writhing on a bed with another cute chick. Don't behead her. Yikes.
-
Those guys could be twins! Bashir should have done a guest shot on BSG as Baltar's brother.
-
You know, split the skull vertical , Buffy Mayor Style, then behead at neck. Or you could go the "Kill Bill" route and just take a little off the top. Plain old beheading though is passe.
-
...but then wanted more money and was written out of the series. Asking for more money and being dropped seemed to be a recurring thing for her, unfortunately.
-

-
Klingon's Kore, Kang and the other guy and had that guy steal her symbiote, and then found out a psyco killer was living in her head in season three. Don't sound too boring.
-
They should have him on BSG. They even sound the same.
-
and that hot chick with the big hair that says: I'm not bad. I was just drawn in the '80s.
