New FRIDAY THE 13TH Trailer Slams A Fireplace Poker Through Your Brain!!!
Beaks here...
Hard to say that this just-released trailer for Marcus Nispel's FRIDAY THE 13TH remake doesn't deliver the goods. There are some nice nods to the original series in there: the death countdown makes a welcome return, and that very last shot makes me happy. Don't know what's going on with that lawnmower, and I can't wait to find out.
So head on over to Yahoo! Movies and pass judgment. Is this what you want from a FRIDAY THE 13TH movie? Or are you still pissed that Tom Stoppard passed on the rewrite?
Voorhees returns on February 13th, 2009. That's a Friday.

I'm down. Should hopefully be fun.
-
or how ever you spell that onomatopoeia
-
It look EXACTLY like the awful Texas Chainsaw remake. it features the same WB style actors who somehow manage to be even more annoying than the ones in the 80's. And there is no indication here that the deaths with have any of the cartoony bloody glee of those in the days of yore. Its gonna be watered down homogenized crap and if you doubt that then obviously you've been MIA for the last 15 years or so of horror.
-
That trailer looks way better than any of the sequels from the original series. This is a remake I can get behind. Unlike the Halloween remake which didn't deliver. This shit looks like pure carnage candy and I'm there opening day. Screw the haters.
-
Even more so than my Uncle.
-
The dude is fucking perfect for this type of movie. He was great on Veronica Mars.
-
I'm really impressed. Genuinely shocked, but impressed. This could possibly be good!
-
Thats the one where a guy gets hung on a chandelier and is about to get cut in half......right before the camera pans away and doesnt show it. Im sure the lawnmower scene in this will be no different. These platinum dunes losers are masters at making dark cinematography that looks dandy in a trailer but turns into quick cut MTV crap over the length of a feature.
-
Although skeptical about the actual movie, the counting the deaths up to 13 in the trailer was a nice touch.
I'll probably go see it. But it better not be like the Texas Chainsaw remake which sucked.

I love how people act like the original FRIDAY was the best ...
by mattfini
It wasn't. Not by a long shot. Parts 2, 4 and 6 were much better films. So I get a kick out of people acting like this new one will be "better than all of the sequels." Give me a break. Oh, and the new trailer looks solid.
-
Yeah he was a walking corpse but Jason looked bad ass in 7.
Plus fighting a girl with telekinesis? That's awesome.
Can someone explain the ending though? You mean to tell me they never searched the lake for the dead father's body to..you know...have a proper funeral and bury? "Nah, just leave 'em. Something tells me we'll need his somehow unbloated corpse in the futre..." -
That the movie is crazy violent with the kills. My friend told me the film is testing well, and Warners is happy to have inherited a potential hit from New Line. So we'll see. But nostalgia doesn't cloud my judgement when it comes to the originals. Each sequel was a remake of the one before it. So it's not like they are classics. I'm glad it looks like they paid attention to what worked in the original. Also I heard that someone is burned alive in a sleeping bag. If that's true this movie is no joke.

As long as there's clueless teenagers smoking the dope, having pre-marital unprotected sex and dying in a horrible fashion, then that's cool with me.
-
now we know every fucking death. brilliant. how to they go from teasing to showing you EVERY scare in a horror flick. HORROR flick. now there will be none...bad move..
-
As we all know, Hooper's TEXAS CHAINSAW MASSACRE didn't show much either. Most of the gore was implied.And I didn't have a huge problem with the first TCM remake (in fact, I gave it a very favorable review for AICN). The prequel? Hated it. The other Platinum Dunes movies? Not crazy about them either (really despised THE HITCHER). But it does seem like the PD gang is catering to the fans on this one. Yes, the editing in the scene they showed at the Scream Awards was dicey, but I don't think that was a finished sequence. Regardless, this is a FRIDAY THE 13TH movie. My expectations are off adventuring with James Mason.
-
... I disagree with Beaks on the TCM remake. I think it's garbage. I think it gets wrong every good idea in Hooper's original. Here, on the other hand, it looks like they've made a real no-shit FRIDAY THE 13TH film, and if that's true, this might be the exact right fit of producers and material. I certainly like the trailer.
-
None of the sequels are meant to be good movies. They only exhist to see how many different ways Jason can kill annoying characters. Some are very good (hatchet to face of wheelchair guy in part 2) and some are just stupid (punching boxers head off in part 8). But at no point where any of them considered a well written story. So I don't care if you call it a remake or a sequel , as long as Jason kills annoying characters in entertaining ways without getting too over the top, then I will gladly sit through this picture. LONG LIVE JASON!
-
the return of the "kill countdown" is pretty neat, shame it doesn't have Don LaFontaine counting down though
-
Because kissing Neil LaBute's ass is the express lane to moguldom.
-
PLEASE tell me this movie will have a lot of gratuitous nudity in it.
-
Looks like they'll be transitioning from the sack to the hockey mask at some point during the movie. That's cool.
-
How old is she? Wasn't she older when she came out with I Wanna Be Bad? I would say she's too old to be here but all of the "WB" kids here are older. And why do people keep calling anything "WB" anymore? That network hasn't existed in a few years now.
-
Wasnt too big on Amityville, but I enjoyed it. I am also the lone defender of Hitcher, i think it's a great piece of junk cinema (Neil McDonough's "Go fuck yourself" response to certain death, right before Sophia Bush jumps out of an explosion, is possibly my favorite scene in a movie ever). Needless to say, i think this looks great.
-
The one with the chick crawling away from him on the ground. You can totally tell he holds back right at the end. That's just poor editing.
The thing is, that so many other movies have ripped off the Friday the 13th mold, this just feels like another one. Nothing new, just a bunch of teenagers dying. Shit, I think I'll go watch Sleepaway camp instead. -
So long as I get to hear that again in 5.1 surround sound, its all good.
-
I'm all for remakes, but why wouldn't they even try to stay true?
-
should be followed by "(not the original)"
-
Platinum Dunes.
I'll remain cautiously optimistic as I loved the job the screenwriters did on "Freddy Vs. Jason" and Jared Padalecki's always awesome on "Supernatural" but again....Platinum Dunes. -
They throw the remake of TCM around like it's something to be proud of and not sound and fury signifying nothing.
-
Not interesting at all. And if it's anything like the Chainsaw remake, it'll suck worse than a buck-toothed whore with two fingers.
-
Really? Nobody's damned Michael Bay yet? Where is that guy?
-
michael bay... tcm remake director... i want to hate this, but ill be there opening night. can't be worse than part 8 or 9....
-
anything that would raise expectations...
-
As long as we are damning directors...
-
This trailer now has me interested in seeing this movie. Lets hope the movie is as good.
-
...but that trailer looked pretty damned good. No way I'm paying to see this in the theater, but definitely will check this out someday on cable.
-
I am cautiously optimistic.
-
One of my all time favs. One of the very few friday movies where the lead goes head to head with Jason for revenge, and holds her own. The scene where she drops a roof on him/electrocutes him is great, you can actually see Jason's expressionless mask go "WTF"
-
This and last generation wouldn't know anything good if it bit them on the eyeball. Just look at the crapfests know as 'Twilight' and the 'Jonas Brothers'. Things have now gone way below mediocrity. This is uninspiring and boring. Shit.
-
because i never saw it in theaters but the camera certainly didnt pan away at the chainsawing of the testicles.
-
i was surprised to see the paramount logo there. i mean i realize they still own the first 8 movies but being a remake made by the studio who bought the rights from them...surprised to see them get involved.
-
I actually had some hopes for this movie until I saw that trailer. Is it even possible to have a horror movie nowadays without preppy little teenagers yelling "yeah" or "woo"? And a countdown that shows every kill. Yeah, brilliant. BTW, I still think Jason's little run, skip, bounce thing at the end looks fucking ridiculous.
-
Proves that Plantinum Dunes learned how to bring the gore (even if it doesn't prove they learned how to make a good movie).
I'm pretty much certain we'll get an unrated DVD of this that's at least as grisly as the TCM prequel. -
Friday the 13th may have been one of the most successful and influencial slasher film ever made, but the original and it sequels were never about solid film making or really thrills like the original Halloween or Nightmare on Elm Street. It was always about the body count and interesting ways to kill people.
Of all of the horror remakes in recent years, this is one of the ones I mind the least. It will most likely be a crappy movie, but the original wasn't all that great from an acting or story standpoint. In fact, I would have much rather Rob Zombie remake this movie than Halloween. -
Well I have to admit it, for a Bay flick, this looks pretty good.. minus the lame kill count to 13 montage..
-
My first thought was also "Dick Casablancas!"
-
same old, same old...
-
I don't mind this remake either, as the original, other than introducing the iconic Jason, is nothing genre-defying.
I just know the track record of Platinum Dunes - slickly packaged films with art-directed-to-death production design and cardboard scripts. Again, I enjoyed the work these two writers did on "Freddy Vs. Jason" but I'm still skeptical, due to Platinum Dunes involvement. -
Sure Twilight and The Jonas Brothers are crap, but they are no more crap than Herbie Goes Bananas, Man's Best Friend, Girls Just Wanna Have Fun, The Garbage Pail Kids movie, The Stuff, Gymkata, Teen Wolf Too, Grease 2, Heartbeeps, Weekend at Bernie's, Weekend at Bernie's 2!, Police Academy 2-10, Three Men and a Baby, Megaforce, Any "Ernest" movie, The Ghoulies, Trick or Treat, Shanghai Surprise, Over The Top, Band of the Hand, Tarzan The Ape Man, Plan 9, The Exorcist 2... the list goes one and on. Since people first started making movies most of them have been bad. If you are unhappy with Twilight, go see Let The Right One In instead. If you hate the Jonas Brothers, rent Once instead. There are plenty of good movies to go around right now. This year has brought us, The Fall, In Bruges, Synecdoche NY, Transsiberian, Slumdog Millionaire as well as a decent crop of 5 or 10 studio pics that didn't suck, so all in all I'm actually fairly happy with 2008.
-
The Stuff rules.
-
there sure is a lot of breaking of glass and chopping there. also a lot of watersports-related violence. i think those kids should not be in that particular area. i feel for them. but then i also feel for the hockey mask guy, who seems very upset. he probably doesn't have any friends. i was real mad at my neighbor until we had a chance to sit down and talk, and then i realized he wasn't the one letting his dog poop on my grass. he doesn't even have a dog! it's too bad the characters in this movie could not have sat down for a talk as well. it sure helped in my situation.
-
This doesn't look like a Friday The 13th film. In palette or tone. It looks exactly like TCM or any other Platinum Dunes release. It willl be no worse, nor any better than the TCM remake. Which to be honest, I actually kind of liked, sort of. I mean, I expected worse. I just hope it doesn't suck as hard The Hitcher or the TCM remake sequal. I don't really mind with the TCM or Friday remakes, because, well, flame me if you want, I don't think the originals are very good to begin with. However, I think Nightmare On Elm Street really is a genuine horror classic, and I believe under the right guidance, a terrific remake could derive from it. Of course, we know it wont. It will most likely be more dressed up shit like this, which will be a shame.
-
...Films you mentioned. To be honest, I've never heard anything by the Jonas Brothers. I'm a 27 year old man, so I can't imagine there being any avenue where I would accidently stumble across them, and I sure as fuck wouldn't seek them out to see what they were like. Dude is right, theres so much great stuff coming out, or old great stuff now easily available, that there's little use crying about the crap thats out. Sure, I'd bitch and moan about wasted opportunities like Transformers or The Punisher or something, but it's not like Twilight stole wasted a great premise or stole the budget of another film.
-
...but Daniel Pearl is a bad ass cinematographer. The footage looks pretty damn slick. On the other hand, Jared Padalecki is a fucking douche.
-
michael bay money behind all the pretty photography and cg enhanced gore?
-
You might like it as escapist fare or a guilty pleasure, but lets not kid ourselves, those movies were B-A-D. Acting, cinematography, direction, story...all of those were sub-par if not abysmal. So I see no problem with them remaking a film that was in the beginning a cheap Halloween rip-off, and at the end of the series just another chance to whore off the novelty of a killer in a hockey mask murdering annoying, horny teens. Now Halloween, Dawn of the Dead and TCM were attempts of making horror as an art form, whether you think they succeeded or not. The remakes of those films has always left a bad taste in my mouth.
-
I am a HUGE friday fan.. My name on the Fangoria boards is " voorheesajollygoodfellow"
This looks like more cornball TCM remake ass. But worse. They don't follow the original storyline. Hell they don't care that there was an original story line. It looks like a " Let's cash in on a famous name" piece of unadulterated doo doo.
In a perfect world , this movie would go plastic. i fear , that it will end up going platinum , because of idiot filmgoers , and sideways name recognition.... -
is great. She kicks his ass, holds up against him better than Freddy. Like you said even under the mask you see his complete confusion.
-
the trailer is amazing!!!
-
This is a pretty great trailer too.
http://www. youtube.com/ watch?v=iMiYjJqx8m0
Well shot, good use of music, solid color fading. It's got the making of a great horror film from the look of the trailer. I think we all know how that turned out. -
"Stoppard passed on the rewrite"- what a fucking piss poor piece of snide apologism. It's nothing to do with expecting high drama, it's about remaking fucking everything in sight, total lack of creativity and originality etc.
-
Seriously! It feels so 90s. Such clean clear and crisp cinematography with perfectly orchestrated action instead of grittiness and unpredictable carnage.
Looks like ass to me(there is also ass in the trailer:) I will not see it at all. I never bother with horror remakes. -

How can guys like Devin Feraci be in the tank for a film like this. I mean Jesus this is as derivative as it could possibly get. And not a single one of those kills promised anything more than the Scream formula of watered down Scotch.
-
this doesn't look all that bad.
-
race of Jasons. That's why Jason doesn't die. He really does, but it's a new Jason every time. They've come from the planet Machete in the Crystalak system. They're not mindless killers who don't speak, they're telepaths. The only reason they kill is to survive. Like the alien in I Come in Peace (which I paid to see in the theater much to my chagrin) they need human fear and pain to survive. Unknown to us humans at the moment of death the fear pheromone wafts through the air at which point it is absorbed by the Jasons.

He was the Jeffersons' neighbor, and was on Sesame Street.
-
Jonas Brothers = 2000's
BackStreet Boys = 1990s
Tiffany/Menudo/Debbie Gibson = 1980s
Shaun Cassidy/Partridge Family = 1970's
The Monkees/The Archies = 1960's Now exactly which generations pop-tart band are you going to defend? Which decade exactly was free of bubblegum pop? Could that be ... NONE??? -
Are you kidding? I damn near walked out of the first one it was so lame. Just piss poor movie making all around. This can only be an improvement. Can't possibly be worse.
-
was in the original f13 trailer...people need to know whats up before commenting.
-
gotta say the trailer is very good. comes across as a hair above a simple slasher film. i was never that impressed with the original so this one might be worth renting.
-
What's with the waterskiing? I wonder what the story behind the hockey mask will be. Where did he get it, and why does it already looked "lived in?" Because in the original Friday Pt III the mask he got from fat Shelby was relatively knew, and sustained battle damage with each new movie.
-
was how Jason ran up on that girl to hit her with the machete. It wasn't a slow, loping typical Jason walk. It was a run--he really wants to kill that girl. THat's a nice new spin on him.
-
Someone mentioned Mans Best Friend - fucking great movie. A chameleonic, tree climbing, acid-pissing Rotweiller eats a fucking cat whole!! What's not to love?
In fact, I'm gonna try and track that one down.
As for this 'reimagining', looks decent, they have the look of Jason down pat. Now, so long as these annoying teens are killed in suitably grisly fashion, mission accomplished. I better see at least one axe buried in someone's face though. -
This, well, I guess we'll see.

This actually looks like a Friday the 13th film.
by the reluctant austinite
I expected something much slicker and post-modern. Instead, this looks like an honest-to-god Friday the 13th flick. That's either good or bad depending on your background, age and taste. I don't care for the original film, in fact I think its quite poor, but as the sequels got ramped up, they got more fun and occasionally scored a true good time, like "Friday the 13th Part 4: The Final Chapter" with Corey Feldman and Crispen Glover. I can count the good horror re-makes on one hand and don't need many fingers; "The Thing" and (sort of) Zack Snyder's "Dawn of the Dead." The "Chainsaw" remake was watchable but forgetable, and I credit R Lee Ermy for taking it up a notch. The one thing I'm kind of disappointed in is that these characters don't appear to be camp counselors and they seem to have done away with the whole summer camp theme. Maybe kids don't go to summer camp anymore, but that's what made Camp Cystal Lake so relatable to kids of my generation. Summer Camp was scary! Anyway, this looks more fun than I expected.
-
The reason the first Friday was a classic is because it defined the teenage slasher genre. Now, 25 or so years later...it's old hat. I see very little that will set this movie apart from any other of the billions of teenage slashers other than it being a Friday the 13th remake. Seriously. Then again, if Jason's mommy isn't really in it (can't quite tell), you could just say it's another sequel...
-
Full of teenagers. At the time, it was scary and the ending made everyone jump. But since then, every sequel has been crap. Tedious and only watchable if you want to see clever ways for people to die. Now we have the FINAL DESTINATION films to fill that void, and by and large they do it much better.

___________________________________
Woah. You're going to blame not one, but TWO generations for TWILIGHT? And denegrate every movie, good or bad, made within the last 30 year period because you have a beef with the Jonas Brothers?
-
Abercrombie model actors, ugliest humans alive playing the trailer trash weirdos. Lots of bleak colours, dark forests, screaming and fast editing. I could enjoy it..
-
If it's anything like the TCM remake it will destroy the original. I know it's blasphemy on this site but the original TCM is/was/and always be a terrible movie. There is no story, the film and sound quality are garbage. When watching it 20 years removed the poor film and sound add to it but that wasn't the original intent, it's just what they had to work with. The only thing the original TCM has going for it is that it showed bizarre and disturbing things when they weren't a dime a dozen. It really has no redeemable qualities. This new Friday already looks cool with this new and improved fast and agile Jason. Will it revolutionize film, no. But none of the other movies in either franchise did either.
-
Except at the end as a little dead boy.
ehh... No one could top Betsy Palmers campy performance anyway. -
But it's not a terrible film by any means. Parts 2 and 4 were weaker in my opinion. I think that if viewed as a sequel instead of a remake, the haters wouldn't bitch as much. But the fact is that no one would have seen a movie in the theater called Texas Chainsaw 5. Also part 3 was just as glossy as the remake. The film needed to be remade in order for New Line to retain the rights. Also the remake has more violence than the original, and it's paced faster. It doesn't replace the original, but it's still a good slasher film that gets unfairly shitted on to the point that I start to doubt if people even watched it. Let's not forget all of these remakes still make money for the people who created the originals.
BTW Jessica Biel did a good job as a horror movie scream queen. She was hot, smart, and actually fought back in the end.And finally, the prequel wasn't horrible but it wasn't good. It didn't do anything to establish the characters from the remake. Instead it just tried too hard to connect the 2 films. And it was ultimately foolish because the whole time you know everyone dies because if anyone lives the events of the remake wouldn't have taken place. -
I mean its completely pointless..its just Jason killing people again except he runs these days? You know how we all complain of the remake syndrome these days-well its down to the people above me in this talkback who claim they will be there opening day.its their right to go see it and enjoy it of course, but it will mean the film makes money which means there will be sequels and more remakes or classic horrors that dont need to be remade. If your going to blame anyone, blame them.
-
Apparently Nina Visitor plays Jason's mother in the film. Kira is Jason's mother. How very odd.
-
he is pretty crafty and sly for a man child - he kills with such nuance and sarcasm - if you think about it, his character is the most unflattering depiction of a retarded person in cinema history - if retarded kids die as the result of carelessness on the part of their camp counselors, they come back as indestructible killing machines that stalk innocent horny teenagers - thats deep - but what does it say about the mentally challenged?
-
Why are there few good ideas these days. I promise that there will be no remakes from movies in the 2000's and classic music will surely not be stocked with music from this decade. How about we get a new killer or a new comedy instead of rehashing all the stuff. I don't watch TV much but at least they come up with a lot of new good ideas.
Oh by the way, Jason, you really know how to work the camera. You always know how to stand behind a door before somebody opens it. How do you time that?! -
Too bad the movie will probably suck
-
just like I would have seen Midnight Meat Train
-
...what the fuck are you even talking about? Was that some kind of joke attempt?
-
...Rob Zombie's Halloween. He raped Michael Myers in the ass and ruined the superior franchise. At least this remake looks like it's trying to keep true to the originals.
-
I was also excited to see him in this trailer, but from the looks of things he doesnt appear to be in it very much. I have a feeling he will end up pretty much playing Dick Casablancas and being the arrogant annoying guy who gets killed off first, while on the boat shown, which then plows into the girl who was jet-skiing. Wow, this trailer really did get rid of any need for us to actually see the film.
-
Haha, I love it how this movie has the stereotypical creepy old lady with the 1950s style framed glasses!! haha Although, this movie has me intrigued. But then again Texas Chainsaw Massacre: The Beginning scarred me for life.....what to do, what to do...
-
I can't wait to see this one. I don't know if those horns you hear when the dude is laying on the ground getting machete'ed are from the actual soundtrack, but if they are.... man, I just love seeing F13 in the theater. Yeah, this is a "remake" (though I consider it just another sequel) but really it's gonna rock. Just think about it this way... at least he's not spending the entire movie on a ship.
-
Oh, and by the way, I noticed someone up there talking about the famous music cue. According to Manfredini, it is ki ki ki ma ma ma, which is based on the line from the first movie that Pamela Voorhees says, "Kill her, mommy; kill her!"
