Jason's Got A Blonde Mullet?? New FRIDAY THE 13th Images Impale The Internets!!

Published at:  Jul 23, 2008 2:20:44 PM CDT


Merrick here...



A few days back, we got our first look at Jason (from the Michael Bay produced FRIDAY THE 13th reimagining) via a picture in Entertainment Weekly. You can find that report HERE.

Turns out that...around the same time that Entertainment Weekly image showed up...several more very good, very different "new Jason" pics appeared on The Nets. Evidently, they flew under the radar for a few days - but we started getting tons of e-mail about them last night for whatever reason. Thanks to everyone who called these to our attention, by the way. Appreciated.

The pics seem to have originated HERE, but are no longer visible at that location. HOWEVER, you can still find 'em at Friday The 13th Films, which can be accessed by clicking...

HERE!!!



Take a look!

    by kungfuhustler84

    The blonde hair works for me. It gives him sort of a real life, white trash, serial killer vibe, without the incredible stupidity which came with the Halloween remake. He just reminds me of that image I get in my head when I think of the hitch hiker some idiot teenager couple picks up that kills them both and rapes them in the knife wounds. I love it!

    It's fucking Friday the 13th. A franchise you don't seem to care about but now bitch that it's being re-explored. You seriously want them to make this movie and not have a hockey mask, not have Jason, just his mother? Really? Why bother? I'd just be waiting for a sequel so we could see Jason in action. You really want to see some crazy old broad run around killing people? Then go dig up Estelle Getty and put some voodoo on her!

    Do we have to do this?

    by dapper swindler

    Let's be reasonable. Friday the 13 is a classic but it really isn't that good. The sequels were horrible. Slasher movies in general are horrible. And remakes are horrible. There is really nothing of interest in this project. Does anyone really care about this?
    So we can sit here and bitch about whether or not Jason's hair is dirty enough or we can just walk away. Instead of sitting here whining about something we don't care about, we could go outside, start a business, meet women, or, at the very least, bitch about something important like what's happening with the Watchmen film.

    But is this Friday the 13 remake really worth it? I just wish for once we could walk away and skip the whole process.

    on that last post. Hey look, I'm a fan of this series and am actually really pumped for this new version that will hopefully do away with some of the truly awful bullshit from the series and stick to what works. I think this new jason looks kinda cool, the blonde hair is weak because it's blonde, that calls to mind youth and attractiveness, not really jason's style, give him dark hair or white/gray hair, it just works better, the blode hair is awkward. Also he's packing multiple weapons and sheaths/harnesses so I'm guessing he's smarter then before, looks cool to me so far, and yeah fuck the mom being the killer, everyone would see it coming and it would be stupid plus jason is the icon not his friggin mother

    by cdubbs727

    Seriously, go back and watch the original F13 films. They are not good. They're fun, yes, in that way that you get a few people around to laugh at how gory and silly the whole thing is. But Michael Bay's not messing with anything sacred here--just a schlock horror flick that was originally intended as an easy payday for all involved. When he gets around to remaking The Texas Chainsa...oh. I mean The Hills Have...um. Well, at least they haven't remade The Exorcist yet. And they should know well enough to leave that one alone.

    And I agree with having Jason be the villain here instead of his mom. We KNOW that his mom is the killer in the 1st and that Jason takes over in the sequel. So we'd be sitting there just waiting for the second one when Jason shows up.

    I actually don't even know why I'm talking back on this one...the project really has no appeal to me. But remember when QT was rumored to direct a F13?

Isn't that basically what we've been hearing all along. I say don't hate the locks!

    It's like a dog peeing on a tree

    by vern

    First off, I will say this: other than the hair, these pictures look cool. They look like a well-shot Jason movie. If this so-far terrible director and these producers of nothing but offensive garbage somehow manage to make an entertaining movie I will be the first to admit it and be happy about it. And if that happens I'm sure the silly, silly hair do will not ruin it.
    But still, this speaks to the psychology of these creeps. They couldn't just leave it alone. There was no way they could allow themselves to make a movie that just has Jason in it. They got to the point where yeah, he looks like Jason, he looks cool, and they just thought "No. Something is missing. Something... unnecessary. Something to remind them that we were here." They're like dogs peeing on things to mark their territory. They cannot put Jason in a movie without having a constant visual reminder that FUCK YOU, THIS IS OUR JASON, WE OWN HIM NOW. There's nobody who is gonna think that giving him blond hair in any way improves him, but THIS IS THEIR JASON SO GOD DAMN IT THEY WILL PUT BLOND HAIR ON HIM.
    I bet they came real close to giving him a bow tie. "Really, if you look at it from a modern perspective, obviously Jason WOULD have a bow tie."
    Anyway, I wish them luck. Very, very good luck since it seems like the chances of them ever making a decent movie is about the same as having your winning lottery ticket struck by lightning. Also, please don't give Freddy a mustache. Or any earring. Or a skateboard.

    by vern

    I think we as a society can move beyond that issue. Nobody wants to see an actual remake of FRIDAY THE 13TH where we pretend to be surprised when Mrs. Voorhees is the killer. If somebody good was gonna do it this is the approach I would want them to take - a Jason movie that includes the bag and later the hockey mask. If they call it FRIDAY THE 13TH so what, that's just a name.

    I agree, it doesn't need to be a direct 1-for-1 remake.

    I mean shit, I'm a fan of the franchise, I own every single one on dvd, but let's face it, there's about enough story in the 1st six installments to support one solid 2 hr. movie.

    That's not what I expect, mind you.

    Maybe we'll get to see the lumpy li'l fucker kill a cat as a kid or something, just so we know unequivacably that he's got bad mojo.

    They need to get Brian Pohsehn AND Rainn Wilson to play conjoined siblings who get simultaneously raped by malicious redneck camp counselers, and then Jason can impale the whole buttfucking congo line on a broken-off flagpole.

    the filmmakers probably thought...

    by wes_reviews_

    "If we give them the same mask, they'll forgive whatever else we do to him"...which seems to have worked on some of the fanbase, as many are blindly supporting this disaster-in-waiting simply because they "wanna see human Jason again". Which, is just a piss-poor reason to remake Friday the 13th in the first place. What these fans fail to realize is that by supporting this remake is to support future remakes. I have zero doubts that New Line is going to wait to greenlight the Nightmare remake script for production until the first couple of box-office weekends of the Friday remake.

    New Line doesn't exist anymore, they sold Jason and Freddy to Platinum Dunes in their everything must go garage sale. And unfortunately Platinum Dunes has a fool proof formula: lower budget + recognizable title = enough teen suckers on opening weekend to make a profit. It's similar to the DTV formula, the movie does not require anybody to like it to make a profit.
    And ryan74, does the 74 stand for the year you were born? Because if you're in your thirties that will blow my fuckin mind.

    Ugh. Check out BloodyDisgusting's talkbacks about this.

    by jimmay

    They're fucking jubilant. Positively comparing it already to the godless remake of Texas Chainsaw Massacre. Sometimes I forget how different horror movie fans are from general movie fans, so much less discerning; as long as its big loud, and above all, incredibly gory, they eat it up with a huge smile on their face, no matter how bad the story, acting, and script is.

    by lt. kaffee

    pretty much confirmed the difference between "horror" fans and discerning movie fans.

    Horror fans?

    by neosamurai85

    So... I'm confused by the argument Jimmay and Lt. Kaffee are making. I'm a horror movie fan/geek/what have you. I've worn that title for years. I'm also a huge film fan/geek/nerd/what have you in general, but horror movies do stand out for me. I know more about them than other genres because they are my favorite genre. From the German silents to The Decent and all sorts of high art to crazy camp in-between, I LOVE HORROR. So, as broad as my taste is outside of horror, to hear that I'm essentially not a horror fan because torture porn and shitty remakes don't do it for me... yeah, got a problem with that. I think the species of horror fan you guys are talking is more specifically what we refer to as gorehounds. They are in it for the gore and nothing more (except maybe tits... both branch from the same genus). Gorehouds only watch The Omen for the decapitation scene. Gorehounds get bored watching Rosemary's Baby. Gorehounds LOVE Cannibal Holocaust for everything EXCEPT for its innovative epistolary mockumentary narrative technique. So please, don't pigeonhole horror fans as just gorehounds. Some people really do just like films like Cat People, or Rosemary's Baby. Other's like EVERYTHING, others like camp and other's high art. We gots variety yo. Peace.

    Neosamurai85 said it fairly well, there is a line between those of us who appreciate the genre and those of us who appreciate the genre but can't be bothered to, uh, think. At all.

    @ Abominable Snowcone, kickass! My work is done.

    I'm really not trying to pigeonhole anybody, but when going by the posters on a site like bloodydisgusting it's kind of inevitable. If you've ever been there, the level of adulation reaped on dumb, loud and gory is pretty intense. I genuinely enjoy horror when its done right, and have a few favorites, but when it comes to the "gorehounds" as you call them, the silly, prepetually pubescent faction that thinks gore and torture-porn are so "cool" and anything that doesn't ratchet up the guts, the tits, and the violence is "gay", I step far, far away. So, in short, I apologize. Not all horror fans are undiscerning base-feeders, but the ones that are sure seem to be directing the studios creative decisions lately.

    's all good

    by neosamurai85

    Yup, been to Bloodydisgusting. Their name kinda says it all though. I read it now in then for the exceptional leak, but I tend to haunt Twitchfilm.net more often.

    The Gorehounds are the market studios are going for. Back in the 80s it was fine. Films like Re-animator, Braindead, and more obscure stuff like The Deadly Spawn were just fun bloody messes, but the sadism and stupidity of most of this new crap... yeah... the goodtimes, they are over(ish).
