FRIDAY THE 13TH PART 2 3-D? In The Snow? With Better Kills?
Beaks here...
There's big Platinum Dunes news coming out of last week's A NIGHTMARE ON ELM STREET set visit in Chicago, and the majority of it is centered on the company's forthcoming sequel to FRIDAY THE 13TH. And while you'd think making a FRIDAY THE 13TH sequel would be as simple as racking pool balls, PD producers Brad Fuller and Andrew Form are aware that they've got to up the ante in a number of areas if they've any hope of topping the first film - which stalled out at $65 million domestic (and $90 million worldwide) after hauling in $40 million over President's Day weekend.
According to three different reports from HitFix, ShockTilYouDrop, CHUD, Collider and Cinematical, Fuller and Form are demanding more inventive kills from screenwriters Mark Swift and Damian Shannon. Evidently, they've been reading comments from a variety of movie websites, and realize that they might've come up a bit short in this department (my only request would be for less CG blood). So expect grislier/gristlier kills from the next movie. And rejoice, ye dark of heart!
The other major alteration sounds like it'll be with the location. Rather than steal every last nugget of information from the above-linked reports (which you should definitely read), I'll just say that it looks like a wintry setting could be in the offing for Mr. Voorhees (Fuller and Form also have ideas on whether Jason should return to space).
Finally, if you're expecting FRIDAY THE 13TH to go 3-D... well, unless Warner Bros. and New Line up the budget for this second film (to the tune of an additional $7 million), you can forget about it. According to Fuller, they'll probably be getting the same amount of money to make the second film as they did the first, and he has no intention on cutting corners in production to allot for the extra $$$ it takes to go the 3-D route. Would they love to do PART 2 in 3-D? Absolutely. And do I think Fulller is cleverly lobbying for extra cash through the press? Um, no, I'm sure he'd never do such a thing.
Ryan Rotten at ShockTilYouDrop has an extra story up regarding other Platinum Dunes projects like THE BIRDS, THE BUTCHERHOUSE CHRONICLES and ROSEMARY'S BABY. Sounds like they've cooled off on the Hitchcock and Polanski remakes.

we need a new and original horror series. recycling is not creating new classics.
-
please?
-
I likes the reboot, but why was it so dark?...even the night scenes in the orginals were still well lit and you could see everything, this new one was lit by a candle and you couldn't make out what was going on...perhaps having it set in the snow might be a good idea, at least the contrast won't be so low when there is that much white in the frame
-
How has no one thought to put a guy in a freakin' hockey mask in a winter setting?
-
Decepticon testicles??????
-
The closest they have come to winter was Part 7 where a few people complained of cold. But that movie is full of continuity errors since it's "cold" in some scenes yet some characters are sunbathing in another scene and are having a BBQ in another. I say fuck 3D since their main issue is mainly the remake being watered down. The kids were good. The setting good. The script, silly with no memorable deaths. Also Jablonsky needs to not score a movie ever again. I wish I could get paid to occasionally bang a trash can. The score was so unmemorable. But then again so was the movie. And finally can we all agree Wrong Turn 2 did the wood chipper finale better?
-
I mean that remake was not good.
-
Who gives a fuck about this.
-
--Became repetitive very early on in the film.
One of the highlights of any Friday the 13th movies is how inventive the kills are, the other is of course....Tits.
The tit department was handled pretty well, Although The sleeping bag and the tow truck deaths, were decent, the rest were kinda predictable. -
when it was announced going to remake Friday the 13th i will admit i was hesitant for supporting the film...when i started to hear they were going with a more man of the wilderness, using his surrondings to aid in his kills, it began to sound more interesting and i got a little pumped for it...the images of jason were released and he looked freaken cool...got a little more excited...saw the film over valentines day weekend with my lady and was 100% let down. reasons for the let down:
1 the freaken pot plot...i understand trying to appeal to a younger audience...but this was way over done and at times overshadowed EVERYTHING in the film...most of all IT WASNT FUNNY OR ENTERTAINING
2 jason was NOT a man of the wilderness which they said he was going to be...when they said this was going to be his new angle, i was like sweet we are going to see some backwoods nasty shit like the guys in WRONG TURN...jason was not the bad ass he should be and was also a MAJOR let down
3 the acting even for a horror film as a whole was HORRIBLE and these no talent ass clowns should never be cast in a future film, commercial, music video, teen sitcom...ever again
if they are going to make a decent sequal to the remake atrocity that was Friday the 13th...get a decent couple of guys to write the script for GOD's sake...if the same brain wizards that wrote the first one are working on this one...then all we can hope for is another festering pile of shit from them. on a positive note...setting a Friday the 13th during the winter on Crystal Lake can be pretty cool -
... the poster can say Friday the 13th Part 3-D.

Friedman Suing Fox For Wrongful Termination, Scientology Blamed
by trannyformers_apologist
"New York Daily News
say Friedman was fired not because he encouraged people to run out and illegally download one of his employers' own movies (Wolverine), while that same employer at the same time chided other writers for doing the same. Instead they say he was fired as part of some big conspiracy spearheaded by Scientology.
Friedman’s attorney Martin Garbus is further claiming that the leak of Wolverine onto the internet 30 days early, the leak which Friedman used for his illegal downloading, was actually all the fault of Rupert Murdoch to begin with. “Apparently, someone made another copy for themselves,” he says. That’s right, they’re claiming Rupert Murdoch pirated his company’s movie. " -
All were weak. The sleeping bag death could have been more brutal. Why did she look like she was scalded to death? The arrow through the eye and the machete death on the dock were good. But Bree's death was boring. And Trent who was so good at being a dick died so lame. Being impaled on the back of a truck? Seriously? Remember when Jason used to twist a neck or something foul before he did anything else? And then Jenna's death was so weak. She needed a Geller in I Know What You Did Last Summer moment. A character you gave a fuck about, dying in a fucked up way, and actually making you care that they died. In this movie it was so quick and stupid. And they should have killed Jared in the end giving Amanda more of a moment when she confronts Jason and stops him. Also if I had written an epilogue, instead of a reappearance on the dock that was cheap and stupid, I would have had the surviving female character at home alone a year later and recreated the beginning of Friday the 13th Part 2 where Jason killed Alice after scaring the shit out of her with a head in the fridge. But I would have made it her brother's head... It sucks when you can watch a movie and think of 2 million ways you could have added to it to make it better...
-
... Opening weekend is when it makes all its money - there's no way they'd up the budget knowing #2 is going to do about the same at the B.O. - It's a financial model that works. BTW - "snowy setting" would BE COOL... But wouldn't make it any more money.
-
Agreed. Danny Pearl’s cinematography in the remake was just a misfit. Too dark and stylized. Simpler is really better. Unfortunately, I am thinking that they are now stuck with that "look" for the series. Ugh! The Manfredini score was also sorely missed, but I can at least see them correcting that error for the sequels. *fingers crossed*
-
I kinda wish The Sheriff would've killed them all in the first scene, that way they wouldn't have to waste Jason's time with those circus freaks.
As far as the pot growing angle, They never said that Jason was growing it himself. I think it was just growing wildly in an area that Jason occupied. I never knew a weed dealer killing potential customers before he sell them a bag. I'm sure if Jason was growing it, he would be smoking it, and if that was the case, there would have been no movie! Jason would've been somewhere chilled out eating Doritos through his hockey mask.
Actually, I would pay to see that! -
I happen to be one that saw the original the day it opened. I was 10 years old.
This movie has always been about the music.
For YEARS after the original we would make that classic sound to scare girls/friends.
As I watched the "New" film it seemed as if an entire audio track was missing...and it was...and I was bored.
To the Producers: Don't do that again! -
It's not going to be in 3D, I can assure you, had you read the ORIGINAL report of thise, Fuller was asked about 3D and said "Yeah, possibly, if Warner and New Line want to pony up more cash, but I highly doubt it" So shut up about 3D. I doubt Platinum Dunes will being to follow the new clique, although I enjoy 3D films. And the whole snow aspect, many people on other sites are freaking out because they hear snow, they go apeshit and being to think no Crystal Lake, read Bad Lands on Wildstorm Comics for christ sakes, that's what they're going for. Same area for Jason, same scenario with kids, different element and season. God, im so sick of unreliable shit.
-
Not better story, better acting, better anything? Yes, we're not talking Shakespeare here, but how about introducing some suspense, or a story and characters to care about, instead of just a set of bowling pins made to be knocked down.
-
If you're talking about my story, please re-read the next-to-last paragraph. Thanks!
-
to think Jason was a pot grower? The actual farmer was in the movie and killed by Jason for Christ's sake. How thick headed can people be? That said, just about everything about this movie was plain boring. The story, the acting, the kills; all middle-of-the-road. Not to mention that if PD is honestly considering the space setting again further proves these people have no idea what they're doing. I think I'd actually rather watch Zombieween over F13 just because it's more interesting to see a trainwreck than see paint dry.
-
The Camp counselor at the beginning of the movie was smoking with Jason's Mom and started hallucinating. When Momma Vorheees tried to calm her down, she snapped out and took her head off!
-
stop watching them.
-
Smells like a fart in a phone booth, just like the first one.
-
Are you guys saving your money shot for next week or what?
-
And ganymede3010, how bad was it?
-
I'd actually love to see a birds movie thats done closer to the original short story. It had a creepyness the movie didn't match. And you lost that bit about how they came with the tides. Seeing millions of them just hovering offshore all creepy-like moving with the waves waiting for high tide would be a cool scene.
-
Re-send, please. I lost a bunch of emails between Friday afternoon and Sunday morning.

FUCK MARCUS NISPEL!!! GIVE THIS TO ELI ROTH OR JOHN GULAGER!!!
by creepythinmanwillhavehisrevenge
And get Edward Lee and Jack Ketchum to script the fucker!!!SOLID GOLD!!!
-
So Jason was growing pot and just letting the "farmer" live near it and sell it as long as he could use his kerosene. That makes way more sense... Like I said, even if he didn't grow it, he clearly took over the business. Regardless of anything else though, it's never implied Jason was growing it. And whereas I'm clearly not a fan of the writing, no one would be dumb enough to think Jason protecting his weed is a good idea. At least I hope so.
-
Other than of course the Hammer horror reboots/remakes in the 50's/60's. Hills Have Eyes 2 bombed as did that Texas Chainsaw Prequel. My guess is now that audiences have seen a modern Friday the 13th (which had a huge drop-off after the first weekend), the interest in a pt.2 will be minimal at best. Same goes for When Nightmare on Elm Street reboot/remake comes out. The first one will have a great opening weekend, then disappear, and when the sequel gets made, it'll flop.
-
Well it takes place in a SUMMER camp. Not too many are open in the WINTER. Kind of like asking why a Space movie doesn't take place in the Tiger Cage at the San Diego Zoo.
-
And he can film it in Canada.
-
scripting a Firday the 13th movie? That would be, to put it lightly, insane. And I would definitely pay to see that. Have you seen the film version of Jack Ketchum's "The Lost"? I'm wondering if it's worth seeing. I watched the trailer the other night and it looked pretty solid. It had a bit of a Gregg Araki vibe to it, and the lead actor reminded me of a young Crispin Glover.

boycott everything they do.

THE PROBLEM IS THAT THERE IS NO VARIETY TO THE VICTIMS...
by creepythinmanwillhavehisrevenge
Every fucking movie it's the same groups of fucking moron teenagers. How you make these movies distinctive is not just from the kills but having different types of people getting offed. Make a sequel where Crystal Lake has been closed for a few years and a Porn producer decides to use it for his magnum opus CAMP CUM. While shooting the porno Jason starts picking them off one by one....Booge Nights meets Friday the 13th.
-
I was playing along until that retard fucking ending. You just killed Jason and now you choose to drag his 200lb+ body several feet and drop it in the lake? Get the fuck outta here.
-
We wanted to make a film better than Alfred Hitchcock, and we've suceeded. Now we know why the birds are fighting to save the environment. Now we have a lead actress in Naomi Watts that is quite possibly more wooden than Tippi Hedron. Plus we now have a happy ending where the birds decide to spar humanity and help coming up with alternative energy solutions that involve bird droppings and waterfalls.
-
Haha, that would be pretty hilarious. Especially when the main male star loses his diggler to Jason's machete.

The previous F13 was pretty awesome (then again I've enjoyed every F13 to some extent so far) and it sounds like they have the right idea with this one. A change of setting could be good because although Crystal Lake is the iconic image that goes along with Jason there is only so many times we can see the same teenagers decide to camp out in crystal lake plot line. Focusing on better kills is always a good thing in a horror franchise like this, but the kills in the last one weren't bad. There were some pretty good ones.
-
Admittedly, I care not a jot for this franchise, but I can't see a reason, otherwise than the tired moneymaking off the brand recognition of an ancient franchise, for these films to exist. Oh.

Former boxing heavyweight champ and Hockey Mask wearer Jayson stars in a documentary in which we hear he explain his career and life in his own words. He goes over his early years as a deformed freak living at Camp Crystal Lake with his mother, to his eventual training by Cus D'Amoto which led to his becoming heavyweight boxing champion of the world. Also touched on is his time in prison, his religious conversion, and the controversial fight with Freddy in which he bit off part of his ear.

Thanks for the snow and the kills but...........................
by crackerfarmboy
How about a fucking plot and some characters worth giving a shit about????? Maybe the movie will actually be scary, you know...if we care about the characters???????
-
remember?
-
There were a couple good ones. The problem is that it can't be just about Jason appearing and blurrily killing somebody and then disappearing. The fun of those movies back when they were fun is the chasing and trying to get away and then the tension of realizing you're fucked and then you get the kill. There was very little chasing or tension in this one. They gotta get a better director who has a sense of pacing, action and energy like Steve Miner did back then. Not Steve Miner though, he's lost his priveleges after that DAY OF THE DEAD remake.
-
plot that was tossed around before they remade this.
You get you a large ass group of kids, all of them handicapped, some are blind, some are in wheelchairs some are mentally retarded or autistic, ones a burn victim.
Normal beautiful camp counselors. One of them is a real prick. He picks on the kids when it's just him and them. But when the other counselors are around he acts all chummy with the kids. He takes the group out canoeing. He picks on one of the retarded kids. The wheelchair bound kid calls him an asshole, and the counselor tosses this handicapped kid into the lake. The kid almost drowns. Another counselor rescues him. The kids promise revenge. They witness the asshole counselor sweet talking one of the chick counselors into go out to the old cursed campsite with him. The kids follow them from a distance. When this asshole arrives at the old campsite he convinces his chick to come skinny dipping with him. The kids tape it all on a digital camera, they steal the counselors clothing and let them know that they are there filming it all.
The male asshole counselor chases the kids into the woods. He catches the retard and the paralysed kids (who riding on the retards shoulders). Just then Jason shows up he kills the counselor. The kids panic they race back for the campsite. They try to tell the now drunk and party fatigued counselors what happened. It starts to rain. the counselors get pissed and think it's a big joke. They take a few of the kids with them and they head out to the old abandoned campsite. A few of the kids and counselors stay back. We follow the group as they inspect the old camp site. Jason shows up, he kills the counselors as well as the kids (Hey enough of that kids are safe bullshit). The rest of the kids race through the woods back to the original campsite. Cut to the original campsite. The powers cuts out. Everyones starting to wonder where the others are. Two of the three remaining counselors decide to brave the weather they toss on some rain slicker and grabs some flashlights and they take the dog with them. They leave the remaining kids in the care of one counselor,
Jason shows up at original campsite he kills the sole stay back counselor. The kids fight back, they lock him in the basement and they race out into the woods. These kids bump into the other kids who escaped Jason's original attack on the first rescue group.
The last 2 counselors who left bump into the dismembered corpses of the first group. Jason shows up there now. The dog attacks him and the 2 counselor make a break for it. Where do you go from here? Fuck if i know. But you got a gaggle of kids and two camp counselors still alive trying to find one another and get some help. Like the local police or the people who own the campgrounds. Maybe they find the tunnels, and in those tunnels are lots of weapons. Jason must have tampered with the cars on the camp grounds so that route of escape is gone, but someone braves out and decides to walk the road hoping to get help. Something like that -
The shaky cam sleeping bag fire scene was crap. The most imaginative kill was was poorly played it looked fake and the camera was having a full on seizure. The rest of the kills were to simple and not at all near the cool factor of the originals kills from the series.
There was no spectacle to any of them, and what was up with the director always pointing the camera at the Camp Crystal lake signs, when that chick was running away after her boyfriend got, got?
It felt wrong. Like one of those "Hey kids, see it's really the campsite, OK!!!"
I say in this new movie you need to have Jason pushing someones faces into an overturned cars rear wheel as it spins at full speed, because the driver is still inside the car dead with his foot pushed all the way down on the gas petal. The shotgun rider is the one who gets the face full of rubber because she survived and she crawling near the car cause she was tossed from the front window or something like that, she's like paralyzed, and Jason just makes a game of it. Slowly lowering her face into the wheel and unlike per cemetery 2. the camera stays put. You should see the face getting eating away. No shaky cam. Give it to us in absolutely 3d clarity. -
Sorry but no matter how you repackage Friday the 13th, it's basic concept is trapped in the horro film tastes of the late 70's to early 80's. You can add irony or reboot it with shakey camera work, but it can't be sustained. That is why all of the Post Scream pop culture horror films faded, and that is why all these reboots/remakes don't make further than one or two sequels before the plug is pulled.
-
So like, yeah why do I even care. Dumbest fucking ending I've seen in a long time.
Let dispose of the evidence in the lake. So the cops will blame us.
Also, How the fuck did they drag him to the dock.
Teens just fucked and drank and played drinking, drug and look at how hot I am games.
Asshole was well played. I couldn't tell the girl apart. The opening sucked ass. Pamela's retarded. She confronted an armed bitch after killing all her friends. Really?!?!?!? This old bitch is going to talk shit when the victim has a 32 inch machete in her hands.... -
The pot was most likely planted by the original counselors at Camp Crystal Lake and has been growing unabated in their absence. This is the simplest explanation.
-
The old time slasher enthusists don't like them because the new style takes away all of the things that they find scary (lingering shots, classic scores, dirty cinematography) and replace them with shakey cam that can't build tension, jump/shriek music cues manufactured with computer software, and shiney cinematography from a car commercial. The youngsters might go because they've heard of something called Halloween or Texas Chainsaw something or other, but then they leave the theatre wondering what was so scary about some monster in a mask running around in an unrealistic way killing people. They go home and pop in their Saw DVDs and see what they think is scary.
-
I only liked the remake for Julianna Guill's fantastic tits in the neverending sex scene. Beyond that, there were too many missed opportunities to do something good with the franchise.

but the one I rock out in my mind is fucked over by the lame remake opener. I guess I could quickly change the ending to fit in- here goes. It was a lot like the special needs camp plot. Only this one revolves around a normal summer camp setting with Pamela as a Senior camp counselor. Pamela has a cabin on the grounds. We the audience know that she forces Jason to stay inside the cabin during the summer camp season because she doesn't want her boy to be mistreated. Jason's deformed. Jason keeps sneaking out of the cabin at night to spy on the people at the campsite. He's smitten by one of pretty female camp counselors. One night she takes a guy out to the woods with her and they have sex. This enraged Jason and he attack the male counselor. Hitting the guy over the head with a rock. The girl runs away back to the campgrounds, she tells everyone what happened. Pamela offers to go out to where this incident happened with the girl. When they get there- Pamela explains that the deformed boy is her son and she can't let the girl report it and ruin his life. She pulls a knife and she attacks the girl. The girl gets away, she races back to the campsite.
Pamela shows up and she systematically kills everyone there.
The girl bumps into Jason and Jason knocks her out with a can one oar. She comes to on a boat out in the middle of the lake.
Pamela and Jason are tying weights to all of those dead bodies and dumping all of them into the lake. The girl gets up she attacks Pamela
Jason tries to stop her. The girl pushes Jason into the water, Jason can't swim..... Pamela tries to kill the girl with the machete. The girl grabs it and they both fall into the water. Pamela swims out for Jason. He goes under Pamela keep looking for him. The girl swims to shore. Pamela follows suit. The girl runs through the woods. Pamela catches up to her. The girl chops off Pamela head. Jason see's this from behind some brush. The End. -

No reason you cannot have a snow setting at a summer camp.
by royston lodge
The summer camp I went to as a kid had weekend camps organized during the winter. They were often more fun than the week-long summer camps. Cross-country skiing, skating on the lake, hockey, broomball, hot chocolate by the campfire, stargazing with the beautiful night sky, midnight hikes where the only sound in the crunching of the snow, humping in your sleeping bag.
Good clean wholesome fun.
In other words, perfect setting for a slasher flick. -
I actually love the idea of a winter themed Friday flick. If you think about it, it makes perfect sense. The lake freeze. People play hockey on the ice. Hence the mask. Oh yeah and 3-D would kick ass too...
-
Seriously who gives a shit about snow?!?! Why not just do the next one on Easter Island...never seen jason on Easter island. How about North Korea...never seen Jason kill no one in North Korea. Seriously?!?!? How about in an airplane bathroom??? Back down to Earth people...focus... :o|

The snow element, if used, will just be one part of the story, n
by mission code z
Just to lue those in who aren't reading the interview and jumping to conclusions off of just seeing "snow" listed in the blurbs....
I think it would be a cool idea to show Jason suffering through a winter. Obviously he has before, but the films never focused on life outside of the summer months. -
Easy.
-
I never understood why they didn't make a prequel to Jason. It's obvious his mom was a nutjob or at least was driven to be a nut- lets start the movie off with her sending Jason off to camp, something about a black magic curse and her going ape shit when he drowns...the end of the flick he crawls out of the lake...
Let's stop this lazy remake train right now and invent new horror icons or revive the old kids; Drac, Frank, Mummy and Wolfie in their traditional settings. This garbage of pillaging sub-par movie baddies to make even more sub-par movies is ridiculous. -
The summer camp was essentially closed in the majority of the sequels... and he does GO to Manhattan in one. So, sticking to the 'summer' thing doesn't seem to be an issue for him.I don't think they all happened on a Friday either, btw.
-
Comic book. Hardly original. PD sucks man. I hate the TCM remake. I hate the Friday Remake. The Amintyville was ok at best, and they will most certain fuck over the Nightmare series remake if they still use most of the core plot from the screenplay.
-
Uh, Jason doesn't 'suffer'. He makes teenagers suffer. If Jason felt any pain at all, ever, he would make some kind of noise or you'd see it in his body language. Just saying. I DO like the idea of seeing Jason in the wintertime, tho. Like in the Freddy v.Jason v.Ash miniseries.
-
That biotch just screams HARD CORE HORROR!
-
1000 fucking times better than the Fog Remake. Maybe the worst remake ever.
-
Sure, I had thought about putting the word "suffering" in quotes.
In my thinking, yes, Jason may be such a badass, yes, but Nature still takes its toll on his body. -
I'd agree with that being the worst to date.
-
It'd be an original change of pace. A crite ship crash lands near Camp Crystal Lake. Jason gets pissed off because the little fur balls are taking all of his action. We could get a new sleepingbag vs tree scene. final showdown occurs in the town surrounding camp grounds.
-
Severed head. That would really piss him off proper. You can go with the snow theme too. See the camps abandoned. So theres no food. The Critters head into town for chip repairing supplies and flesh. Jason follows suit. You don't fuck with Jasons Severed Mummfied corpse head. That's a big No, No!
-
How about a sequel that has the original camp site about to be turned into a tourist resort. As they are about to break ground, Pamela Vorhee's grave is disturbed, (take some liberty with her grave being a traditional one, not the one with just her head) and Jason is "awakened" and all the fun begins.
Not just teenagers, but people of all ages, shapes, races and sizes would be offed.
This shit is not hard to think up, why can't an over-paid screenwriter do the same?
While there at it, lets see another Freddy vs. Jason. -
All of these remakes suck, but the Fog was THE worst....pathetic.
-
You could make one of the survivors a deformed kid who Jason doesn't chase after. Jason seems himself as that kid or something...anything.
-
Reboot for all intents and purposes means "revive," whereas remake is exactly that. Star Trek is NOT a remake, but reboot as in revive, so is the rumored Alien prequel and Predator sequel.
-
Some have been mentioned already, others haven't:
- They can write in a scene explaining where he got the goalie mask.
- White snow. Red blood. (and nobody speaking Norweigian).
- How does Jason survive the long cold months? Picture cool scenes of Jason killing rabbits with his bare hands and eating them raw.
- The obligatory scene where somebody falls through the ice.
- Chicks in parkas can be really smokin' hot. More layers to remove, and all that.
- Ice skates as murder weapons.
- Ski poles as murder weapons.
- Icicles as murder weapons.
- Frozen water balloons as murder weapons.
- Snowmobiles as murder weapons.
- The sound of the cold wind through the trees.
- The sound of footsteps crunching in the snow.
- Cottage country without the cottagers = the season when weirdo locals come out to play.
- Fewer daylight hours leading to cabin fever - for Jason AND for his victims.
- Hypothermia is ONE MORE FUCKING OBSTACLE for the victims trying to escape Jason's wrath.
- "I thought they smelled bad on the outside!" You know what I'm talkin' 'bout! -
Guys, you are sitting on gold. Fiasco Heights. Make it before Sin City 2 and you've got a hit on your hands. FIASCO HEIGHTS. Why is the script sitting on a shelf? Do something with it!

They were made for super cheap, like 3 or 4 million. They would make 20 million or so at the box office. Everyone laughs their way to the bank.

Everyone loves Dinosaurs.

Jason learns the true meaning of Christmas as he slashes the shit out of Santa, Mrs. Claus, the reindeer, the elves...and so forth.

...dinosaurs with bees in Their mouths so when they bark they shoot bees at you?
Reach for the sky...maybe even past that. -
Its sad that eveyone here can throw out ideas more interesting for a sequel than hollywood. I would actually watch some of the ideas you guys have thrown out over the Friday 13 remake anyday. But I wont judge the remake because I consider it unfinished work. Its work print bad.
-
"Desert" Jason, "Scuba" Jason, "Alpine" Jason, "All Girls School" Jason, "Hospice" Jason, "Secret Agent" Jason, "Pirate" Jason, "Alternative Lifestyle" Jason, and in a nod to the Rob Zombie Halloween Reimaginemakeboot "White Trash" Jason. I guess they already did "Space" Jason in part 10.

I read the first article of this. The 3D thing in this article title on this site just pissed me off, it was a lame question asked by some dumbass press, my main point was it's not going to be in 3D. Fuller said way way way back in the early days of the first remake he had no intention of ever doing a movie in 3D. However, when this question came up here, so much later down the road, he kind of joked saying, "sure, if they wanna pony up the dough but I doubt it." That was my main point. I got nothing against this site by the way, I just overreacted because after the first article so many damn sites highlighted that minor 3D part. Sorry.

Blood looks better splattered new-fallen snow.

Jason better
-
duh.
-
Make it happen.

is gonna be confusing numberwise. I mean it's like it's part 2 but really it's what number Friday the 13th? 13? *gash* Seriously, is it 13th? 'Cause then they should do something extra 13-y. Like twin Jasons in a groundhog day type scenario where it's always Friday the 13th.
-
but see how my brain was thinking horror words? *pats brain*
-
I just want to see the victims of yore, the ones you DON'T want to see killed on an even ratio to the ones that deserve it. That's what really ticked me off about this redo thing.

Dead Snow, much?

I think it's about time Jason actually played some fucking hocke

There are a lot of ways they could go with this. That's the thing with the Jason formula. It was a really rich, clever idea to start with and it just never gets old.

Have Kane Hodder (O.G. JASON) play one of the murdered teens pops and have him fight David Mear's Jason at the end. Getting kind of sick of the whole "heroine kills the fucking beast" thing.

Any of you bastages read Guillermo del Toro's new book THE STRAI
by yackbacker
It's getting sick reviews, I may go pick it up myself. Just curious of anyone here is literate and has read this book.
-
Just not scary enough. In fact, the entire hostage/brother looking for his sister was a complete waste of time. As others have said the only quality in the movie was the kid who played the asshole and the stupendous tits sex scene (which is even better in the other cut on the DVD).
-
fine. do what you want. who cares. call it something other than friday the 13th if you really want me to watch your film. or you could just sit on the rights for another 10 years and sell em for a generation that will probably care
-
A dead and rotting Hitchcock could direct a better movie than these hacks.
-
It's not scary now, and will never be scary again.
-
Way to go team
-
Now piss off, ya dotty wee skidmark!
-
Charlie Sheen dresses liek Rambo and stops Saddam Hussein from going into the past to team-up with Jason Voorhees to ...um, eradicate Kurds and stuff??
-
with an all-underage-girl cast. Try and sell that fucker.
-
Michael J Fox goes to the future with Doc again, only to realize he and Jennifer haven't become asshole, but that Jason Voorhees is terrorizing his kids! MJF thinks he's put an end to it, but Jason steals the time machine and goes back in time to give his hockey mask to a younger version of himself to attempt to kill MJF as a kid in the past. Somewhere alogn the line, Jason Vorhees becomes righ and marries Leah Thompson.
-
man, my typing sucked something FIERCE up there
-
Jason, originally from a small italian village, fless to America after killing a local mob boss. He finds a new life and new kills in the dark nighttime streets of America in the early 20th century. Later, he will actually be res[onsible for trying to assassinate FDR by feeding him feet-first into a wheat thresher. Jason is killed before he can complete the job, but FDR will never walk again. Ashamed of the abomination Voorhees, the US Government covers up the assassination attempt as "Polio", which is itself covered up by a blanket over FDR's legs for the rest of his presidency.
-
While stowing away on an international plane in search of fresh victims in a new country where his reputation won't proceed him, Jason's plane crash lands and he finds himself seeking help from a mysterious Indian maharajah. While systematically knocking off all those who try to protect the maharajah, Jason finds himself face to face with the evil thuggee cult leader- Mola Ram! They battle it out over a pit of lava and later over a rickety rope bridge. Jason goes for the win when he applies his signature MACHETE to the rope bridge. Credits roll over him and crocodiles sharing fresh Mola Ram meat.
-
surely, Hollywood can come up with something quasi original for this rebooted franchise.
-
Hearing that the end of humanity may be near and that people are in need of offing, Jason travels from the woods to busy NYC. Although at first he is intimidated by Muppets demaninding to be reunited and put on Broadway, jason slices the fuck through a few of the felt friends and finds himself at the NY Art Museum infront of a portrait of Viggo the Carpathian, who reveals to Jason that he "called" him from the woods to join him in his quest for blood and power. Jason mulls Viggo's offer while relaxing in a warm, river of slime. After watching a toaster dance, Jason finds himself confronted by Ghostbusters. Jason kills Louis Tulley, but nearly shits his pants when a giant Lady Liberty appears strolling down the street. Thinking he's "too old for this shit!", Jason flees the city on the first barge out of town. Dana gives birth to the spawn of Voorhees. Roll credits.

i want to see jason on snow. wow. can't wait!
-
where are the revenge of the fallen reviews! i got my popcorn and beer ready for the biggest talkbacks to hit this site in years!!

Ah yes..... The good ol' days!
-
Yeah, yeah, the 'new' Friday had its share of problems; lighting was way off, lack of inventive 'kills', dumb-ass pot plot, etc., etc... BUT! It still kicked all kinds of ass, despite these shortcomings. Mainly, because of Jason himself. Stick his ass in the snow? Brilliant. Santa's got a brand new bag!
-
Why not just give Jason a Suitcase and a Passport and Call it Around the World in 80 Kills.
-
most 'Friday' fans will agree, the best of the lot are parts 4 and 6. Why? Because they were fucking fun--without being too fucking retarded! There is a fine line there. But the new 'Friday' just wasn't that much fun. It wasn't too retarded either, save for the pot plot, but the 'Friday' films were never meant to be taken so seriously, like the Chainsaw films, for example, and this was half the fun!
-
This time Jason goes to communist China and slashes his way through an acting camp where they specialize in horrible 30s gangster movie impressions.

Friday the 13th Part 2: 1 Part Hockey Mask 13 Parts Parts

Although I will not hold my breath until that auspicious occasion.
-
Just have Jason kill women this time.
-
The victim was Meat from the Porky's movies if I'm not mistaken...
-
The reboot sucked. I went into it with very high expectations, but to me it was just boring. It didn't look or feel any different from any of the countless sequels. Jason in space again? Jason in the snow? Where does it end? Jason on the disco floor? Jason in Iraq? JUST FUCKING STOP!
-
get back Joseph Zito and Harry Manfredini.
The score sucked so they should get Manfredini back, do a oldskool-style score with KI KI KI MA MA MA.
Get some real kids who we could care for.
Make Jason stalk more like Parts 2 till 4. And show him in his full glory when the final chase starts. -
I agree with you completely, PaulKersey, 100% even. And althoght I actually quite liked the 'reboot'; was better than any Friday film of the last 20 years, I was hoping for a more retro, 80's style, straight forward slasher pic (KI KI KI MA MA MA) that wore its limitations--and sometimes corniness--like a badge of honor of sorts... Joeseph Zito's Final Chapter remains my personal favorite.
-
I can't possibly disagree with you more... unlike the previous several sequels, the 'reboot' took the series back to its roots; with mixed results. In other words, they didn't stick Jason is space, N.Y., Hell, vs Freddy, etc., rather placed back where he always belonged: Crystal Lake. And yet? People like you keep bitching!? Sure, the movie wasn't perfect, but NONE of them was!? And it was a hell of lot better than at least 70% of the sequels thus far!
-
Elevate slasher films? Really? If there is one thing you cannot do is take the slasher genre and give it a serious tone. The point of a slasher film was to see inventive, fun kills and lots of tits. The moment you try to inject any sort of seriousness into that, all of the fun goes out the window. Slasher films are supposed to be fun and dumb.
-
Why is this even an option? Are we all out of ideas? Does hollywood really thing that those of us who grew up with the originals give a shit? I can rent Friday the 13th part 2 at my local video store for $.99...why go to a theater and see a shitty remake of it for $15?
-
How about some characters the audience can actually care about? Why not come up with an interesting plot? These things make films better than more inventive kills do (though certainly, if you're making a slasher film, one of your priorities SHOULD ALWAYS BE INVENTIVE KILLS). Fuck these producers.
