Cronenberg in JASON X'
Hey folks, Harry here with some news that actually got me a tad excited about JASON X. Ordinarily, I'm not the most excited person in the world about the Hockey mask dude with the machete.... BUUUUTTTTTT, this is different. This is the creepiest man alive. This is David Cronenberg acting in the film. For me, he MADE Nightbreed one of the most disturbing films I've seen just by his sheer icy stare and cold methodical line delivery. This gets me a bit jazzed for the film. Yippee....
A friend working on JASON X called me
the other day with some news that I think horror fans across the country
will find rather surpriseing. You see the film's openening takes place at
the Crystal Lake research facillity, where Jason has been captured by the
military, and a shady character, by the name of Dr. Wimmer. Well my friend
informed me that Dr. Wimmer is played by none other than the horror guru
himself, David Cronenberg. This will be his biggest speaking role since
Nightbreed. This actually makes perfect sense, considering that the film's
director James Isaac has done Fx for tons of Cronenberg films in the past,
includeing Existenz.

Like that's gonna make this crapfest ANY better...

This is great news!! Hopefully the rest of the movie will be okay. Cronenberg is almost as scary and disturbing in front of the camera as he is behind the camera. Too too cool.
-
finally a reason to look forward to yet another of Jason's resurrections... Cronenberg rules!

Cronenberg actually had a pretty big role in "Last Night" and th

When I saw "To Die For" in the theater, I remember cracking up with glee when Cronenberg made his little appearance.

I dare say James Woods, Johnny Depp, Patrick Stewart, Russel Crowe, Carrie-Anne Moss (naked), Sigorney Weaver, and David Selby combined couldn't make this thing theater-worthy. What it really needs is Steven Segal and one of those famous three word titles, namely - 'Straight to Video'. The medium where I will see this (gee, I'll only have to wait a week or two after the theatrical release)
-
As bad as they are, I'm excited about this movie. It's gonna be bad. It's gonna be terrible. And it's gonna be glad that it is. It's nice to see Cronenberg giving a tip of the hat to the Friday series, which, though it is crap, is one of the more influential chains in Hollywood. That's a scary thought, isn't it?
I'll be first in line at the theater... at least when it hits the discount house. Hey, it can't be any worse than Leprechaun in da Hood. -
Cronenberg is either a genius or a guy with a really bad lsd addiction. To put it simply, all his movies blow me away. I've never seen him as an actor though I'm sure he'd come up with something original and creepy.
-
Don't they usually let Jeffrey Combs have that sort of part? Cronenberg kicks ass, behind or infront of the camera, and I'm glad to see some others out there who respect Carpenters great POD. As for Jason X oh well I've defended this film loads so I'm not going to bother with that now... okay I am. Shit guys I can't help it. Why couldn't the military catch jason? I mean you could drop a fucking big steel box around him or something. He's not superman. He just won't die. Anyway I won't get started... I'm done

What are you smokin egghead?? Since when did I NOT have an opinion. Moron. My opinion lately has been to get people to stop the ridiculus hero worship bestowed on Bruce Campbell. My Star Wars talkbacks are nothing but my opinionated ass layin the smack. Heres one for YOU Nuxx. Try not smokin so much crack before you try and flame someone and actually try to come up with something next time. Idiot!
-
Everyone's got to have "a friend working on the set"... sheesh. Check us out for the superfly Jason X info, and all you naysayers - just don't go see it and shut yer pieholes. Like the world will be a better place if you let us know that YOU don't want to see Jason X. Well I do, and I appreciate Harry trying to keep us up to date!

NUXX you can take yer German talklin ass to the kitchen and get some shutup juice. I'm sure you speak it well while you watch all those German shit eater flicks. Wipe that brown stain from your mouth NUXX. If your hungry, I got a big one brewing here,I'll make you a nice big shit burger with extra corn jerkie!

Thats what i like about ignorant bums like you. You can hardly spell in your own language, and suddenly you

but I'm actually starting to think about catching a Friday The 13th Film at the cinema. Cronenberg is always great, behind or in front of the camera, and Gilmour is right, he was in Last Night, and that was well after his appearance in Nightbreed, top little film actually, but nobody saw it unfortunately. On top of that he was also in the surprisingly not too bad Christopher Lambert flick Resurrection as well, as well as popping up here and there in a number of flicks (mostly just in cameos though) from time to time, so the information above is hardly accurate. Still back to Jason X, although I have seen all of the previous films and consider myself a huge horror fan, I really don't think there's been a decent Friday flick since part four, and would only count parts one, two and four as anywhere approaching good in the first place (and none of them are great), but this one keeps sounding more and more intriguing all the time so you never know, it might turn out to be a fun bit of horror cheese, or better still it might pull a 'Bride Of Chucky' and actually breathe new life and fun into a pretty tired and unimaginative series. Only time will tell.

I really don't give a shit what language it was you little worm. Its obvious by your inane rantings you are out to impress someone. I may not be fluent in idocy but I can tell you're full of shit. Maybe next time at your weekly Magic: The Gathering game day,you can impress the pimple faced boys (who are your only friends) you hang out with by showing them your witty little foreign sentence. Half the time your posts are only riding VEERS coattails anyway. Keep trying and get yourself a job and move out from your momma's basement before you call someone else a bum you pathetic,boorish halfwit! I guarantee YOU are barely past junior college if that. Shutup swishy and find someone else to immulate. Jackass!
-
its illiterate you fucking moron! We all know the one whos ILLITERATE now don't we. Simple ,twit. Read a book in German or some such and shutup jerky!...makes you wonder...GO FIGURE huh? Keep your mouth shut until you can come up with something resembling intelligence.
-
nice to know I'm not the only one here fighting the good fight to get people to drop there issues and give this film a chance. Was Hellraiser 4 or Leprechaun in space bad because they were set in space? Or did they suck in every way imaginable? Oh and cool site... I visit it about once a week.

I have a friend on the set of the upcoming comedy "Dude, Where`s My Car?", and word has it that, after completeing work on "Jason X", David Cronenberg may have a small role as the icy head of mall security, who won`t let the dudes get to their car after the parking lot closes. His presence should add depth and intensity to what will no-doubt be an all-star cast in "Dude, Where`s My Car?". BUT SERIOUSLY FOLKS - Gologo13 and others who haven`t seen "Nightbreed", you must rent it. Not only is it a great Clive Barker horror/fantasy film, but you MUST see just how great Cronenberg is as an actor. He practically steals the movie, which is impressive considering the amount of cool creatures and FX in it. As for "Jason X", I`ve been interested in this from the start, not only because I loved the "Friday" films when I was little, but also because of the sheer audacity of making a "Jason In Space" flick. I agree with an above poster, I kinda hope they take the "Bride Of Chucky" approach to this, at least a little. I mean, come on, how serious can Jason In Space really be?
-
I'd hate to start a fight or anything, but Cronenberg isn't the creepiest man alive. That honor belongs to Christopher Walken.
-
'eXistenZ' was 'The Matrix' on LSD - this film was vastly underated when it was released and it fuckin' rocks!!!
"Hey - we are still in the game, right?"
-
Cronenberg has actually had three really good roles that were heavy on speaking. He was absolutely great in NIGHT BREED, and I agree that anyone who hasn't seen it should check it out. LAST NIGHT was a little smaller, but still good. He also plays a Toronto based crime boss in the quirky (and good) vampire film BLOOD AND DONUTS. this film shows his great ability at doing comedy as well. I laughed my ass off at almost every line he delivered.... SAMPLE: THUG1: "You want we should make him sleep with the fishes." CRONENBERG: "What the hell are you saying? This is Toronto, nobody here talks like that."

Get a room.
BTW NUXX you may think you are the only Danish speaking fellow around but you are not, so your cussing isn't too aprrectiated.
Wolvie don't get the wrong I'm far from ganging up on NUXX.

I dont agree with most of you people. Cronenburg though incredably imaganitive is just a little too warped and perverted for my taste thankyou. I watched some of Videdrome a while back. MAN! it was twisted. And existenz Everyone in the cinema felt quite dissapointed especially me. And he isnt that origanal. There were three films last year about virtual reality. These being Existenz, The Matrix and the 13th Floor. Matrix was the best I am yet to see the 13th floor. Though one thing I will give Cronenburg was the lizard gun in Existenz. That was a stroke of genius. And he was a little mean to Michael Bay. God he hates the guy so much. MB fils arnt that bad the Rock was brilliant. So Flashs final word is; Keep the imagination flowing but make the stories good.

Why aren't they makeing Jason Vs. Freddie? Whats the deal with that already!
-
I've always liked the Jason films for being what they are, exploitation horror writ large. JASON GOES TO HELL knew exactly what the audience wanted and dealt it all (topless woman in a shower, chase in the woods, and bloody homicide) within the first 10 minutes. If JASON X is as slick as the last film, it'll be worth my ten bucks. I don't have a problem with the Jason in Space theme--let's face it, a lot of horror flicks are either set in space or at the bottom of the ocean these days. After this many Jason flicks, the filmmakers should be allowed to play around with the premise a little. Just don't EVER go back to Manhattan. Please. And not to get old school on you gorehounds, but if you want to see the real deal, track down one of those VHS copies of Twitch of the Death Nerve by Mario Bava, without which, there would be no Jason. Grab some early Cronenberg while you're at the video store too. I respect his recent work, but he peaked with Scanners and Videodrome.
-
Everyone talks about The Matrix ripping off Existenz and vice-versa,but no one has talked about the movie they both ripped off: Tron! This was the first virtual reality movie, not to mention the best. Matrix my ass. I've seen better acting by Dave Thomas in a Wendy's commercial. Long live Tron!
-
I'll show you the money, please show me this movie. I need my Jason-fix!! Been waiting much too long, reading BS about some anniversary fight with that Freddy-clown, please don't do that. Just have a mute in a hockeymask chopping nude chicks. JASON RULES!!!!!!!!
