Jason Embiggened!!!

Published at:  Jul 21, 2008 11:35:36 AM CDT


Merrick here...



Last Friday, we got our first glimpse of Jason as he appeared in the new FRIDAY THE 13th film (the image ca,e from the current Entertainment Weekly). The shot shows Jason from a considerable distance & it's hard to make out any details.

In our initial posting about the image (HERE), I encouraged readers to take a stab at enlarging the image with whatever digitalish photo-trickery they had at their disposal. After all, a chance to get a glimpse of a newly Bayified 80's mass murdering pop icon was too good to pass up. We received many attempts at image enhancement & I truly appreciate the time and effort folks extended in this regard.

Alas, to a significant degree, the ability to enlarge an image is only as good as the resolution of the source image...and the "new Jason" pic that hit the nets Friday was of neither the highest resolution or best quality. As such, many the enlargements we received were never quite "there" in terms of being able to adequately distinguish details and what not.

However, a reader named J.J. Jeepers sent in this image late Friday afternoon.





We got this at roughly the same that Shock Till You Drop posted an enlargement of the same material, so I'm not sure how all of this went down chronologically. Whatever happened, you can still go to Shock Till You Drop for an even embiggender version of this pic by clicking HERE.

Thanks to everyone who worked to bring us a better image of Jason...including the Shock Till You Drop folks...and here's a clear & respectable shot of Jason from Nispel's FRIDAY THE 13th relaunch for your consideration:



Yes, all of this should've been dealt with over the weekend. I was experiencing MARATHON MAN-level dental pain that wasn't adequately alleviated until late last night.

    I swear to God (or to Blog, whatever) that if you stand up and move in front of your screen it feels as if he looks straight at you, no matter the angle - like in those weird mid-20th century paintings, only this time without eyeballs. Is Michael Bay the Jackson Pollock of the figurative, hamfisted filmmaking?

    lol. I can't CSI. It's like little mini-episodes of Die Hard 4. Bones, too, for that matter. That said, Genuine Fractals does a pretty damn impressive job enlarging smaller images. Still nothing like the CSI computers that can magically rotate 2D images as if they were 3D scenes in Maya.
    Also, Jason doesn't look nearly beastly enough. I also think there ought to be more raw brutality in a Friday the 13th remake. You know, Jason breaking arms and legs and shit with his bare hands. Quick deaths and decapitations don't resonate with audiences like they used to. You have to make the characters suffer some horrific abuse before dispatching them.

    They spend their days watching and re-watching The Birds, commenting how the bird attack scenes will be so much more believable with CGI birds, and the farmer with the pecked out eyes would have more impact with grue and tendons hanging from the sockets. Hell, its all too vague, also. Audiences will demand an explanation. The birds can become infected with toxic waste that's being dumped into the water system, making the movie eco-conscious. Not only that the infected birds can mutate to have super-strength, to peck through steel and concrete..hell, have one fly though a victims body at super-speed.I better stop, before they start taking notes.

I guess this is what happens when all the fan-boys (myself included) loose their shit over some stupid flames on Optimus Prime. Now Bay (and probably others) are reluctant to take some liberties with a character that actually needs a fresh perspective.

    ....and I for one think that going back to the sack/pillowcase would actually be pretty cool. A nice homage to the orignal (er, second) movie, but something different. Granted, the hockey mask was iconic after the third movie, but now it just seems almost too cliche, even though F13 was the movie that coined the cliche.

    As long as it isn't the Mask from that Jim Carrey movie. Then Jason's eyes would bug out when he gets his first look at the double-d sized actress they have swimming in the lake.
    He can even get his head to turn into the wolf image and do the whistle.
    Then he goes back to normal and slices her in half.

    The point of seeing a picture of the new Jason isn't to wow you, it's simply to show you (aka reassure you) that Bay & Co aren't trying to bring you a new updated Mountain Dew Xtreme Jason, they're sticking to the source material, a big dirty guy in a hockey mask wondering if it's his birthday.

    by mr. profit

    I am a fan of the series up until 7, eventhough I have seen the others that followed. I can tell you who died how and in what part sadly. I'm not offended by this remake, because I don't let nostalgia kid me into thinking that these films are classics. Halloween was a classic that didn't need to be remade. That story was scary, effective, and simple. It didn't need a backstory. With Jason, his motives were always cloudy in a bad way. It would be cool to see them start over, and base Jason in a more grittier, realer, pre-New Beginning sort of way. But have it that it makes sense. And with Nispel helming, I am holding out hope that it will be a fun movie. I heard the nudity and gore is pretty crazy too. Which I don't care too much about. but at the same time, at least I know it's not PG13. Also like the story I heard about Jason being smarter, and how he kidnaps someone and uses them as bait.

    It's hard to decide between squeezing that guy's head until his eye popped out or the girl in the sleeping bag slung into the tree.
    Agree with Mr. Profit in laying out a little groundwork for Jason's character. Maybe flesh out his past from attacking girl in boat at the end of part one and living in the woods in part two.

  • Big Question: I rarely watch contemporary horror films anymore. (Though "Session 9" is as much a classic for me as is "The Innocents;" and though more of a psychological thriller than real terror, was really impressed by "The Others," especially the resolution of deciding to become 'angry ghosts.')

    My question is this: was "Texas Chainsaw Massacre" worth it? As much is it is a masterpiece and Leatherface's slamming back that seemingly innocuous metal like a butcher with a busy schedule is one of the definitive moments in film of looking down into the maw of hell (knowing about the door makes it so much more horrific), why watch it? What is the purpose? Especially in light of all the desensitizing heaps of flesh and hate populating screens; I know that it is not a kind world but can not the problems and situations of Texas Chainsaw Massacre been discussed in any manner? And another important question that lingers with me: what is it about the tone of Texas that distances itself from all the other mutilation horror films; what is it specific about Texas's nightmare? I am not trying to put value judgements on these things but I would like to hear from others, especially if they've dealt with the same questions of "How far is too far - for the sake of cinema?"

    Celluloid Pain: Felt? Unfelt?

    by yaw

    And I know that numbness is sometimes needed; paramedics need it for steadiness and cops need it for judgement (as long as they aren't adrenaline heads). And we all often rely upon a superficial callousness to cope with the brutal and confusion condition of our world and existence; but what of the man or woman who is merely a watcher, whose absorption has no outlet or no controlling factor, is merely idle and pooling somewhere... And if the violence on the screen means nothing, why the fuck watch it? Why watch something meaningless? That argument of flippancy rings hollow for me and has no merit because it is merely dismissive in my opinion. I remember when my father had to quite volunteer emergency work; the deciding factor that it was all too much to take, now that he had children and had seen too much and could no longer focus. I think catharsis IS good; but aren't there reactions to these films that ARE NOT cathartic? For all the current talk of Terminator 2 being "too human" (ie, whiney), are we merely strapping ourselves to a chair for a rush that subsides until the next one comes along? Is that all movie watching is? It is a question I ask myself often. And I feel that there are those of you here who too ask this question; it is not an easy one for me. I am curious of how it is reconciled in your own life. I appreciate this community, as damn peculiar and disconcerting as it can be at times.

    This new Jason film would have been a perfect opportunity for Warwick Davis, and I think an all little person Friday The 13th hack-and-slash-a-thon is exactly what the world needs right now.Embiggened, indeed. What crazy Jason needed was to be ensmallened! Ensmallened, and with an appropriately sized machete, much like Yoda's kiddy meal lightsabre. Also, all the sluts he kills should be little sluts. That small whore from Total Recall would be perfect for this. Let her get fucked, smoke a little weed, then cut her head off or possibly impail her on a very small harpoon.This new film is going to be boring. And who wants another boring Friday The 13th adventure. Not me.

There's a tonne of drunk sluts here, too, they all come out at night and wear clothes that are far too small for our cool evenings. Movie me would love to cut all their heads off and that.

    I forgot about Bay wanting to give a backstory. I'm sure it will just dandy too.
    Jason is a mid-level meth and weed dealer who isn't quite rish enough to buy off the local Crystal Lake cops.
    This frustration has caused him to dip into his own stash, thus breaking the first rule of dealers.
    This extreme paranoia causes him slaughter drug-needing teens instead of selling to them, which would give him enough money to buy off the cops.
    It's a viscious circle....

    Best kill by Jason

    by abominable snowcone

    was when he grabbed that girl in the sleeping back and slammed her against a tree four or five times. I think that was in Part VI or VII. Even without showing much blood, the kill was violent enough that on the DVD version they reduced it to a single tree-slam.

    of his more violent kills...I mean ones like the the one Snowcone said are pretty impressive. You wonder if a talking Jason would be down in Hell with Freddy going "aww dude, you missed this one time where I totally waaaailed on this one dude...."...I think that with most film characters though-like in LOTR when everything is done and dusted was Aragon sitting round getting pissed telling people about the battles? "there was this one time where I got stuck to a tree by my neck by a piece of wood that had a hole in it so my neck didnt get chopped off, BUT then this thing was coming at me and I juuuust got out in the nick of time,but for a second I was SCREEEEWED... you should have been there....and then this other time I lead the armies to Mordor, and we kicked some fucking ASS man".....I should really be doing something more productive with my time really.

    by mr. profit

    I never said I did. I just said it would be nicer if his origins were less cloudy. Part 1 was about his mom killing for revenge because he drowned. But part 2 inexplicably had Jason alive. Back in the day we all went with it because who really cared. But now it would be better if they explained the disconnect or even retcon the story a little to give it more. I know and am aware Jason is a killing machine. But killing machines aren't scary. And if Jason had an introduction like the original Michael Myers (and a lack of a real motivation) he would be scarier. But as it stands Jason isn't scary. But this pic is cool. If you are swimming and you see this dude in the distance, you will run no matter how hardcore you think you are.

    In which even Jason knows jerking off will make lonely kid's dick bigger and bigger. It also allows the kid to learn just when to pull out so he can give the girl longer pleasure without getting her pregnant.
    So Jason allows this investment to grow into a future stud who will bring a chick to the woods and he can kill two instead of one.

    Also use toilet paper to clean up, as mother will find cum rag no matter where you hide it when she does laundry.
    Also to wash up very good afterwards, as fellow males will recognize bleachy smell of giz and start wondering if they were the ones that forgot to wash up.

    Jason on Jerking it

    by finky089

    "a sad and lonely kid jerking off in the woods and crying?" Wouldn't Jason identify with this kid? Like CCGB above, i think Jason would give him some pointers. Then, when he had built up the kid's self-confidence enough, maybe let him tag along as he romped through Crystal Lake a bit. They'd have a music montage of Jason killing campers, bringing back a severed head, and the kid laughing about it. They'd share a laugh as they snuck into the camp kitchen and jizzed in the mashed potatoes together. Eventually, Jason would use the jerk-off kid as a set up to trap other campers. The jerk-off kids would be alone crying somewhere out of the way in camp. Some a-hole counselor or campers would hear him and start making fun of him, while Jason snuck up behind and killed them! Then they'd both leave man deposits on the corpses. At the end of bay's Friday the 13th, Jason would get into one of the camper's corvette's and speed off into the distance, heading towards another camp to hack up and blaring out some "awesome" Aerosmith song.
