The FRIDAY THE 13th Trailer (Officially) Hacks & Chops Its Way Onto The Internets!!

Published at:  Oct 23, 2008 2:39:47 PM CDT


Merrick here...


Earler this week, we got a sense of this project from a preview aired during Spike TV's Scream Awards (HERE).

Now we have a trailer, available via MySpace in both standard & HD. It's different than what we saw (no dismemberment joke intended) in Spike, so be sure to take a look.



WHAT DO YOU THINK???




Here's a standard embed of the trailer for the lazy or impatient...





So Voorhees is on MySpace and hasn't added me to his "friends list"? Fuck him...

    Jason's mother was NOT killer in Part I

    by titus05

    one more thing...it's a common misconception that Jason was not the killer in Part 1...not true!!...if you watch the movie you'll notice one scene where he picks up a hitchhiker...when she gets in the car she says "thanks mister"...meaning Jason is driving...she later gets scared and runs out of the car into the woods where Jason follows and kills her...stupid Scream movie screwed with people's minds into thinking that Jason's mother was the killer in Part 1...the mother only shows at the end to try and kill that last skank

    You and I both need to get a life for even discussing this... But Jason's mother was the killer, period. She was pretty butch though so maybe the girl made an honest mistake. OR maybe the filmmakers were lazy, cheating fucks. Ding ding ding! Nobody knew this cheesy horror movie highlighting newly enhanced make-up effects was going to turn into a franchise. I'm pretty sure they were "making it up" as they went along. Same as George Lucas.

    by kirbymanly

    I think it looks badass

    by bass bastardson

    Look, I am a lifelong Friday fan. I love me some Jason. And for the most part, I am totally against remake/reboot-itis that is infecting Hollywood. This reboot however is an exception to the rule. Let's face it, F13 was never on par with the original Chainsaw or Halloween. It is a classic series, but not one of the movies - as much as I love them - is a classic stand alone work. Furthermore, Jason has been put through so much silliness already - fighting psychics, punching Manhattanite's heads off, becoming a body-jumping demon-worm and crawling up his sisters cootch, fighting Freddy, going to space and becoming "super Jason" - that a nice, back-to-basics, Jason-kills-teens-at-Camp-Crystal-Lake style F13 movie is just what I would like to see. I personally love the shot of him coming at that girl with the machete at the end of the trailer. Looks pretty savage.

    It's a Hard R for Graphic Violence and Nudity. I know people who have seen this sucker, and I keep hearing that it's surprisingly good. But that isn't hard to achieve since (as it's been stated above) none of the films individually was a classic. I heard WB is pretty happy to have inherited this from New Line since the test screenings were wildly positive. I'm both glad and relieved. I can't wait to see this as my fave movies were 2, 3, and 4.

    If there was never an original it might be ok, AND I actually kinda liked the sequel. It worked better cause they weren't trying to emulate anything. Which is often the problem with remakes. And it had more R Lee Ermy. which is always gold.

    Milking the franchise

    by skimn

    The Halloweens and Friday The 13ths of the '80s were simply the "Saws" of their day. An easy method to seperate teenagers from their movie going money. So the producers (chewing on fat cigars, of course) thought they needed to send Jason To NY, or space just to "jazz it up". This remake is simply another method to seperate teens from their money, and those nostalgic enough to remember the original. Shakespeare it ain't.

    Yeah, 3d is great. I mean it's where he gets the mask! Wish I could've seen it in 3d myself, but I think the first time I saw it was when I was 10 years old or so on USA - surprisingly they showed it uncut back in the 80's. I am really partial to 2,3 and 4 as the best of the series, although I do have a soft spot for 6, 7 and Jason Goes to Hell (which I think is kind of underrated).


    The thing about this trailer that I think is great is that it just looks like another one of those first four film, only with a budget and some slick lighting. As amazing as 2,3 and 4 were, they did have terrible scripts and the acting was mostly sub par. They really only realized their true greatness in the kills and the inevitable 20 minute long Jason-chases-virgin-through-the-woods finale. I have hope that this one can live up to (or down to) that tradition. I really hope Nispel doesn't put the main girl in a wet t-shirt the entire film though. I may lose some people on this, but one of my biggest complaints about the TCM remake (aside from the fact that it should have never been made) was that it is impossible to be scared when distracted by glistening cleavage and erect nipples poking through wet cotton. I dunno, maybe it's just me.

    and so to catch up I watched every death in the series (well - 1-8 anyway) in a single youtube video. If there was a "plot" supposedly stringing these scenes together...well, I'm pretty sure I'm in no way disadvantaged by not getting it. This installment looks pretty by-the-numbers to me. Expect cheap scares, a few pairs of tits, some bad CGI (possibly on the tits), a bit of bullet-time and a dissapointingly squid-free ending.

    I agree. For sheer jaw-dropping gore, I think THE FINAL CHAPTER is the best. It's still silly and sloppily made like they all are, but the effects (and thus the scares) are fantastic. After some lame "chapters", they put the shock back into shock value - and I'm just enough of a perennial 13 year-old to love it.

She picks up the girl Annie and kills her and at the end of the film she shows up in the same exact car to try and kill the last girl. And Annie's dead body is in the car. Explain that? I don't recall her saying Thanks Mister and someone else already argued that point saying she simply said Thank you.

    Calling Friday the 13th superior to Halloween. All the film was about was teens being killed while having sex. It had a decent story concerning Jason and his Mom but Carpenter's Halloween is the pinnacle of horror films. It's greatness lies in its simplicity. It has a better score, it's shot better and has a lead character who is actually interesting. Plus it has Dr. Loomis who is beyond badass. Also, it perfectly captures the spirit of Halloween. All this and I haven't even mentioned Michael Myers who is the greatest horror villain of all time. He's such a simply character who is evil just for the sake of being evil. Friday the 13th just relies on its Tom Savini special effects. Halloween relies on mood and atmosphere.

    True, but he played him the most, and the majority of fans believe him to be the definitive Jason. I tend to agree. Plus his ad-libbed sleeping bag kill is one of the greatest of all time. Check it out.

    by scrivener

    But out of respect for the original I would have called it something different, like "Crystal Lake." Although if I had done it, Jason would be a lot more monstrous and there would be considerably more brutality than typical slasher-murder fare.

    I saw Friday the 13th like 4 hours ago and it was like seeing it for the first time because I only saw it when I was too young to remember. The film was pretty good and the 13th series is alot of dumb fun. But that's all it is. Part 6, Jason Lives is my favorite. My real name is Jason, as well, so Mr. Voorhess will always have a special place in my heart. I definitely feel he's the most intimidating of the famous slasher trio.

    by bass bastardson

    I just don't see how you can call Kane Hodder the definitive Jason when there were 4 others before him. I'm not saying he does a bad job but he didn't define the character. The character was already 8 years old and clearly established in the mainstream consciousness by the time Kane got behind the mask. He may have done the role the most times, but only after the series had already jumped the shark. IMHO anyway.

  • And that, you cannot deny. I am a Friday Fan and that trailer has got my pumped. Jason looks great, the music is spot on. And the voice over set the mood perfectly. I just hope recent reports of Pam Vorhees and little Jason being cut are bogus. This is a tribute to the first three films and it would be fitting to have her in it. It's her story too.

    ranma re: Friday > Halloween

    by bruticus

    Halloween just wasn't scary. Myers was evil just to be evil? Who cares? That doesn't make the film any more scary. I knew someone would bring up the Halloween score. And notice you mention it first? As if the score is the saving grace of the movie. If a movie is reliant on a score the script is clearly lacking something. But even the score, it's far too repetitive for my tastes, not to mention predictable. And i'd take Jason's chi-chi-chi-ha-ha-ha- as a more interesting and scary sound to be played over the halloween score in a heartbeat. There is barely any mystery to Halloween, he's crazy... and he's really strong. Jason coming out of the lake at the end of Friday throws the whole story for a loop and is far more creepy than ANYTHING that happened in Halloween. Name one scene in halloween that was actually scary. I dare you.

    by chief redcock

    . . .is actually a horror movie that could use a remake. I mean, the original barely even had Jason and wasn't even a good movie. . . none of them have a reputation for being good. . . the Manhattan one is mildly enjoyable at a cheese level, but I think this idea has potential. A modern retelling of the story, complete with hockey mask, a young cast, professional production, and Nispel there to give it a nasty, contemporary edge. I'm interested.

    by monkey_king

    I love the ambiance of the trailer, but they should have added the 'Legend of Camp Blood' subtitle, so smart folks won't think it's a remake or follow-up to that horribly realized FREDDY vs JASON film that extremely talented Ronnie Yu wasted his time on. Jason never drowned and was NEVER afraid of water. Mrs. Voorhees only believed he drowned.

    re: bruticus

    by ranma627

    I'm not going to argue with you over and over because this is all a matter of opinion.

    Halloween doesn't have scares and that's why I love the film. It's about mood and atmosphere, not about cheap scares. The ending scare in the original Friday the 13th was extremely effective but it totally threw the narrative out of whack. Halloween did not have any great scares but when he jumps out of the closet and kills the guy, that was scary. Also when after Jamie Lee stabs him with the hanger and she sends the kids for help, and Michael is lying there, then slowly rises. Fucking terrifying. And that's what Halloween is to me. Terrifying. Friday the 13th is just a set up for each kill. Is Halloween simple? Yes. But I've said before that's why I and many others adore it.

    And as far as the score is concerned, I don't think there's a debate about which is more iconic. I like the Friday the 13th theme song but it's really only one theme followed by the sound effect you love so much. Carpenter's score has so much going on and it's so much a part of that film. And that's why I love Halloween. All these elements of film-making were brought together. It is what it is because of the sum of its many parts.

    But like I said, this is all a matter of opinion but I feel I gave much more valid reasons of why Halloween is superior. It has so much more to offer minus the scares you desire.

    ranma, BRUTICUS, you both make excellent points.

    by devil'sown

    When I was a kid and saw these movies they both scared the hell out of me. Now, many assert that Halloween has the dubious honor of starting the whole "stalk n' slasher" genre, and that Ft13 just rode in on it's coattails, followed by a horde of imitators. But these are the blueprint, both scary- just in differing ways. Halloween will always be in my Top 5. It had a distinctive mood and atmosphere of genuine terror of the unknown: a malevolent, implacable antagonist who's process is so alien to us, it can't be fathomed, and some semi-relatable victims. The gut-level chill of Ft13 (and some of it's many, many sequels) is that we have an again highly motivated killer who's creed is "You're in my backyard now, bitch! And there is no escape." It's ending is one of the best sequences to employ Carrie's nightmare finish ever used. Both seemed to have the same Nixonian morality "have-sex-and-die" undercurrent that would dominate many later horror movies.
