AICN & FANTASTIC FEST present FRIDAY THE 13TH with Jason Vorhees in the DraftHOUSE!!!!
Hey horror fans! Harry here with a great great event for all of you! I love that this FRIDAY THE 13TH was shot outside of Austin near my actual Boy Scout Camp that I grew up camping at every summer. I've been rewatching the FRIDAY THE 13th series recently - due to the DVD column - and I think it has aways been a bit of a downer that the first FRIDAY THE 13TH has never been a down and dirty JASON film. That said - that first film is just odd. I mean, do you think they knew that the weird mutant drowning Jason character would ever become one of the great icons of Slasher horror? I mean, it is so fucking weird that they even threw the kid in there. Right? It's kind of just a 'what the fuck?' A total throwaway gag... Until it is much more in the subsequent films. But at this event we will actually have JASON VOORHEES in the Alamo. AND - it is happening less than 5 hours away from an actual Friday the 13th, when the film actually opens for the rest of the world. Meeting Jason on Thursday The 12th... will you be his warm up kill? Hmmm? Click here to see all the details on this awesome event!
With the new Jason, DEREK MEARS, live in person! Also, producers BRAD FULLER and ANDREW FORM will be in attendance for this screening!!
Jason Voorhees is THE undisputable icon of terror.
After a long vacation from terrorizing the denizens of Crystal Lake, he's back in this bold reinterpretation of the most popular horror franchise in the history of the genre: FRIDAY THE 13th! From the filmmaker behind 2003's TEXAS CHAINSAW MASSACRE and featuring a lead performance from SUPERNATURAL's Jared Padalecki, this is a new version of the FRIDAY films that looks to pay some serious respects to the finer points of the original series. Meaning the REAL star here is none other than everyone's most beloved psychopath, JASON VOORHEES, who'll be joining us for the show to field all questions and punish all horny teenagers!
Yep, the most eagerly anticipated horror film of the year is here, in a special FREE advance screening. To get your tickets, email RSVP@fantasticfest.com with "CAMP CRYSTAL LAKE 4EVER" in the subject line. Winners will be randomly selected and announced/notified on Tuesday, Feb 10 by 5:00 PM!
So have some pre-marital sex, get slaughtered and get ready for the first proper FRIDAY THE 13TH film in eight years! We'll see you there, corpse!

It's going to be so nice seeing Jason back in the woods again, hacking up teens! I know all the older movies by heart, watched all the older ones with my friends in antcipation. It's going to be so cool being in that theater watching this on the big screen. Wish I could make this screening man, it'd be freaking amazing!

Fucking our eyeballs with icepicks, then making a joke about being jewish or something
-
There have been a few interesting moments here and there, but I'm not sure there was ever a single good F13 movie. Part 4 (So called Final Chapter) was probably the best, and that isn't saying much.
-
..A Nightmare on Elm Street for 500 please.
-
Jason turned into a cartoon character, never really could take him seriously. But the very talented stage actress Betsy Palmer from the original Friday, still scares the sh#&&!t out of me. She played an incredible psychopath. Her character will be sorely missed in the "remake"
-
Say what you will but the earlier sequels 2,3 and 4 are fucking fantastic, part 2 and 3 especially, as to what happens to all iconic characters, Frankenstein, Dracula, The Mummy, they go through all kinds of different incarnations. Different filmamkers come along and make different styles and the character changes. But broken down to his barest form, Jason is an amazingly iconic figure, and there's a reason for that. It's why he goes on and other slasher movies (The Burning, The Prowler etc etc) die out. They don't have that ICONIC simple image that Jason (or Freddy, or Michael have).
-
And don't tell me Jared Padelecki.
-
Freddy vs Jason was more of action movie than a slasher, but if you wanted to see attractive women and rampant nudity, then that film certainly delivered the goods.
-
This is why I think this will be an interesting remake. Since Jason isn't really in the first film and he's such an icon now, the first film warrants a remake.
-
First:Why is Jason running. He doesn't run, he stalks. Second: You see him sharpening a machete on some sort of bench grinder. Who does he think he is, Rambo? Classic Jason would make do with any old garden shed implement, corkscrew, sleeping bag, or tank of liquid nitrogen that was lying around.
-
They've always been a cash-in, basically a Halloween rip off. But I love them so... The first six hold a high place of honor in my list of favorite films, even though they are really trashy films. The Kane Hodder era sucks, although he is a classy fellow and stands up for the series, I've never enjoyed his performances. All this new film has to do is be better than the worst of the series- which in my eyes is part 8- and it will be a winner. I'm looking forward to this a lot, I envy those folks getting to see it early.
-
I loved that guy as Jason, ya know? I used to get twitchy when a new addition of Fangoria came out and he would be in the pages - I'd have to read it right then, then put the poster on my wall. He lumbered into my heart. But. Derek Mears seems like a nice guy. Sincerely. I wish him the best and I hope this role works out for him and the fanboys don't piss on him too harshly.
-
cause it wasn't even Jason! It was a huge fuck you to all us true HockeyMaskHeads...
Kane Hodder brought us angry, pissed off Jason...which was cool if you like to see him just completely rampage...
2 was cool, but had Jason dressed as the elephant man with the potato sack mask...Part 3D was where he got the hockey mask, and made it one of the most classic ones of the series...6 was a bit too campy...7 was pretty kick ass...8 was a little too cartoonish in some ways...and I actually enjoyed some parts of The Final Friday...
FvJ was actually cool...but it did not have rampant nudity...it had 2 chicks show their tits...the early scene with the skinny dipper...and Katherine Isabelle (more than likely her body double) from an above angle in the shower...Jason X had Croenenberg get killed by Jason...had Uber-Jason...and improved on the previous best killing...which I believe was originally in Part 7 where Jason kills the chick in the sleeping bag by smashing her into a tree...Jason X amped that part up and to a kick ass level of awesomeness...all that being said, I'm quite worried about this remake and the running and the "gritty" style of Nispel's directing... -
Platinum Dunes wants to go back and cheaply and poorly remake all of the horror films they can. Chainsaw, Amityville, and now they want ruin Friday. They are a bullshit factory without a single original bone in their fucked up bodies. They remove some of the interesting stuff from the original,(Jason's mom, an actual camp, the first person perspective of the killer) and give us nothing new. I guarantee the kills won't even be inventive. I'll see My Bloody Valentine 3D again before I give these pricks another dollar to go buy up the rights to another film they can remake.
-
Finally, Harry! I never though of Jason that way. He really was an afterthought at one point in time. And part 5 was definitely the worst (although I haven't seen Jason Goes to Hell). 2 and 6 are my faves. And FvJ.
-
People only love him because of his passion for the part and the fact that he stuck with the role. But guys, admit it, those are THEE worst movies in the series(Jason X excluded... at least they tried something different for a change). No offense to Mr. Hodder, he is an incredibly nice fellow and I do share his love for the part. That having been said, parts 7, 8, and Jason Goes to Hell are really, really boring. Even Bernie can't save part 7, part 8 doesn't have ANYTING to do with NYC, and JGTH was a mess. Also! havocSchultz- Part 5 is one of my favorites, for the same reason I enjoyed Jason X- the filmmakers tried to mix it up a little, while keeping the story moving forward. Plus, Debi Sue Voorhees. I said God Damn, God Damn. A rack TO DIE FOR. And her boyfriend did. Part six IS campy, but so is Part 3- and it works well in the series.
-
that my chances of being ANYWHERE near Austin for this are pretty much zero. I guess I'll just have to settle for that screening of the original My Bloody Valentine that's slated to run that same night where I'm at.
-
was not only bad because it wasn't Jason...
It was poorly filmed...most of the murder scenes were off screen cutaways and it was lacklustre and devoid of most energy...
Kane was cool because he had passion for it...Hell, he has Kill Kill Kill tattooed inside his lip...
And the thing that bothered me the most about FvJ was that the changed his bad eye to the other side...and they suddenly decided to give him some weird, fear of water...fuck that...Jason has ventured into the damn lake just to harpoon a bitch...
I'll watch the entire series at least once a year or so...but 5 raises some anger in me...I'd rather take the goofy campiness of 6 and 8 over 5 anyday...
And my name is also Jason...so I tell everybody I was named after him...
I can understand enjoying 5 for being something different, but it just didn't work for me... -
a sequel to FvJ than a remake of Friday the 13th...that being said, I'll still be checking this film out at some point...
-
I can understand your points, but to me a cool kill tattoo does not make a great Jason. I prefer the unnamed stuntmen from the first few films much more than Hodder's appearances. Part 5 WAS poorly filmed, but it has all the requisite nudity an F13 fan could possibly want, and an interesting continuation of Tommy's story, not to mention a lot of gratuitous kills for the fans to chew on. The fear of water made sense in the context of FvJ, I bought it. I have the box set that Paramount put out and watch it regularly, and the first six are wonderful horror films. A lot of the fans hate Part 5, and I can understand why. Fake Jason is not the best idea, but it is carried off much better than the overblown antics of Part 8, and holds its own as an entry in the series for many reasons. I hate it when the kid gets axed in the back, that scene makes me wince every time. Diff'rent strokes, I guess...
-
Unmasked Jason in part 7 looks like a mutant frog, just laughingly bad.
-
Juwanna Man in the shithouse...classic...
-
Damn right.
-
Yeah! He sure does. And he's done it before. Part 3 I think it was. So I don't really understand all the "Boo! HISS" about it. Lumbering Jason is fine. But, my dear reader, imagine Jason running after you, at full tilt, machete raised, with the intent of cutting you in two. Holy Moley. That'd freak ya!
-
can't wait 2 weeks to go.
-
It's a fun movie...one of those that's great to laugh at. The damn hobo mother and son team in the woods, their helper that has nothing to do with the movie at all, the black guy from Return of the Living Dead singing with his woman...and those two fucking leather fetish wierd ass Outsider guys who have car trouble. The movie is all over the place. But hey, there's a kill like every 5 minutes and it's got a SCREAMING CAT, which is a requirment for any Jason movie (who is putting all those cats in the cabinets anyway). 5 also has the best boobs. It ain't great...but it ain't nearly as bad as the later sequels...JGTH...UGH.
-
Is Jared the hero in this remake?
I noticed Jensen Ackles is in My Bloody Valentine 3D - I'm wondering if either will be bumped off in these films, due to them being the leads in Supernatural, an ongoing series dealing with similar territory.
I know, different roles etc, but I'm thinking from a network POV - would you want the stars of your top rated show to be victims in a slasher movie?
-
and maternal separation anxiety. Body bags are optional. Rampant Nymphs and wayward teenagers most welcome.
-
Freeloaders of the world unite
-
I don't now about the new F13, but in MBV, Jensen Ackles is the killer.
-
AND FUCK MICHAEL BAY!!!!
-
I'd sure love to be there.
-
...and your one sentence spoiler. You could read that without even looking at it.
Curses I say. You will be dragged to hell in three days. -
i gotta respectfully disagree. Platinum Dunes are by far the best company remaking horror movies. Since they are going to be remade anyways i'd much rather Platinum Dunes do it than a majority of the other studios. All of their remakes to me have been at least good to great. http://tinyurl.com/pv8do
