big dumb and silent huge acting chops required.

Hugo Weaving -- by jimbojones123	Mar 30th, 2008 09:01:58 PM
Or Ray Park. Or Ron Pearlman. This totally needs somebody that can't show his face.
I thought that was Kane from the WWE by Irresolute	Mar 30th, 2008 09:05:14 PM
I pictured infinite choke-slams.
Jason Statham for Jason by Internet Thug	Mar 30th, 2008 09:12:20 PM
He is just as indestructible he is bald he can wield a bladed weapon and it would save on confusion on the set.
I'll bet Kane Hodder was too busy anyway... by milla jovovich	Mar 30th, 2008 09:12:47 PM
but probably not.
Yes! Part 2 is the scariest of all. by Kid Idioteque	Mar 30th, 2008 09:17:42 PM
I totally agree. Part 6 is the most fun. The others are forgettable. This is one franchise that needs reinvention.
Looks like Kane from WWE by Super Rabbi	Mar 30th, 2008 09:19:13 PM

Janet Reno is way scarier than him by Groothewarrior	Mar 30th, 2008 09:20:53 PM

Room for improvement by enderandrew	Mar 30th, 2008 09:25:54 PM
The Friday the 13th series had some interesting concepts here and there, but on the whole, it is made of failure. For once I openly welcome a reboot/remake.
Hulk just left a giant by welsh12uk	Mar 30th, 2008 09:27:14 PM
glowing green turd on the porch of the producer of this movie. First Hollywood remakes classics then run out of ideas and start to remake crap-this makes Hulk MAD! Hulk Smash! SMASH! SMASH!!!
Again, I ask... by HExTeXly	Mar 30th, 2008 09:29:17 PM
Where can a person go to get actual NEWS regarding film, television, DVD and the like??? This website hasn't been relevant for awhile now...hell, I saw a link to some leaked STAR TREK pics over at MOVIES.com for crying-out-loud!!! What gives AICN? I quit recommending this place to my friends...it's just not that good anymore. I only come back out of habit...
What was wrong with the Jason from Freddy vs Jason? by J-Dizzle	Mar 30th, 2008 09:29:21 PM
I thought that guy was pretty badass.
Oh yeah, and Harry... by HExTeXly	Mar 30th, 2008 09:29:52 PM
Please go back to REVIEWING MOVIES...at least that would be better than nothing...
Jason Bateman for Jason Voorhees!!!! by wackybantha	Mar 30th, 2008 09:29:53 PM

Get Pluto!! by nolan bautista	Mar 30th, 2008 09:50:31 PM

Jason and the Argonauts giant statue as Jason by nolan bautista	Mar 30th, 2008 09:53:23 PM
you could have that Friday the 13th music as he comes rumbling in
I'm sorry about that. by Herb West	Mar 30th, 2008 09:56:36 PM
I'm not sure what happened. I only hit the "Post talkback" button one time like usual. I don't know if it was a glitch in my computer or what. I didn't even know something like that could happen. Once again, I apologize for that, it was an accident. Has anyone heard of anything like that happening here before?
a ahole's thoughts... by mr ahole ramirez	Mar 30th, 2008 09:56:44 PM
...1st, that guy just looks like a more attractive Kane...well actually, they're both jacked up lookin...2nd, Im tired of remakes and as a writer, I am offended that no one cares to be original or creative...3rd, I loved the Jason, but, like I said, this is a remake...what next, a new Leprechaun franchise?...
i forgot.. by nolan bautista	Mar 30th, 2008 09:57:03 PM
..Weird Science came out over 20 yrs ago..whatever did become of that 'Pluto' guy?
herb west.. by nolan bautista	Mar 30th, 2008 09:59:33 PM
..you must have 're-animated' that reply button
also... by mr ahole ramirez	Mar 30th, 2008 10:00:45 PM
...is it possible for AICN to stop makin articles bout remakes? it seems like the staff dont care for them, and the TBers dont, so stop it...only remakes that should be made, are the ones where the cast and crew are all above the age of 60 and if the movie was in black-n-white, thats forgivable....not shit from the 80s...
nolan bautista by Herb West	Mar 30th, 2008 10:02:45 PM

THIS IS ACTUALLY A REMAKE THEY CAN IMPROVE ON by BringingSexyBack	Mar 30th, 2008 10:02:57 PM
Not hard to do. Not my cup of tea though, slasher movies. That Murder-Set-Piece ad is freaking me the hell out. What the hell is wrong with people?
Let's try that again..... by Herb West	Mar 30th, 2008 10:11:04 PM

Good choice. by AllPowerfulWizardOfOz	Mar 30th, 2008 10:11:19 PM
For whatever reason a Friday the 13th reboot does not bother me as much as say Nightmare of Elm Street or Chainsaw.
There is no Derek Mears by kafka07	Mar 30th, 2008 10:11:37 PM
That dude's real name is Jason Voorhees
HExTeXly by virtual_ninja	Mar 30th, 2008 10:14:06 PM
those star trek pics you speak of were posted on AICN a couple of days ago....
IMDB says.... by Herb West	Mar 30th, 2008 10:17:31 PM
Derek Mears did stunt work for Indiana Jones and the Kingdom of the Crystal Skull and Pirates of the Caribbean.
Um... by Pariah74	Mar 30th, 2008 10:23:21 PM
Isn't that guy a bit old to play Jason in Friday the 13th? Is this a sequel or a remake?
quick question by mr ahole ramirez	Mar 30th, 2008 10:23:22 PM
...who do u guys like better? Jason or that pussy Michelle Myers?...talkin bout the franchise and the char itself...
So does it mean.... by Herb West	Mar 30th, 2008 10:24:56 PM
that Jason will be without a mask for a large portion of the movie since they found an actor like Mears. Has anyone heard who will write/direct this movie?
Found it. by Herb West	Mar 30th, 2008 10:46:31 PM
Friday the 13th (2009) from IMDB. http://tinyurl.com/286nm2 It lists the writers as Damian Shannon and Mark Swift. Both of them wrote Freddy vs. Jason and not much else.
Pre-production by Herb West	Mar 30th, 2008 10:47:41 PM
Filming begins April 21st in Austin, Texas.
The director..... by Herb West	Mar 30th, 2008 10:50:06 PM
Marcus Nispel also did The Texas Chainsaw Massacre (2003) I'm not sure if that's good or bad.
I have no problem with the remake as long as it's hardcore by IndustryKiller!	Mar 30th, 2008 10:53:39 PM
And I don't mean hardcore like torture porn, I mean hardcore like a true to form SLASHER film. Something I don't think we've seen done right in years. It also happens to be the same thing that king of the hacks Michael Bay seems mystified about. His movies are so vanilla and so watered down that they don't register in any way as horror films. None of them feel dirty enough. The actng in recent horror films is probably better than the days of yore but everything else is total crap. If they can bring the sleaze back tot eh slasher, along with the sense of tension, then we might be okay. I certainly don't want a continuation of the series.
Wait Marcus Nispel is directing this??? by IndustryKiller!	Mar 30th, 2008 10:56:54 PM
Nevermind that last post, we are absolutely fucked. It's not gonna make a lick of difference who plays Jason, the film is going to be every bit the shiny bore that the 2003 TCM remake was. The type of film that completely misses and insults the genre it claims to be in. God knows they made money in the TCM remake and to any hack worth his salt that's all that matters. Fucking terrible.
Marcus Nispel by Herb West	Mar 30th, 2008 10:57:13 PM
is also doing a movie based on Alice in Wonderland. From IMDB- 'Years after her first experience in Wonderland, Alice (Gellar), now a disturbed young woman mourning the death of her parents, returns to the land of talking animals and the wicked Queen of Hearts. Based on the computer game "American McGee's Alice." I'm not kidding.
IndustryKiller by Herb West	Mar 30th, 2008 11:00:51 PM
And it's being written by the ones who wrote Freddy vs. Jason. http://tinyurl.com/286nm2

So what is it you're trying to say? Come on man, spit it out.
In other words... by Sledge Hammer	Mar 30th, 2008 11:53:42 PM
..."remakes suck, except when they're done by me or my friends". So declares AICN.
TOTAL FUCKING DESTRUCTION would be perfect by thebearovingian	Mar 31st, 2008 12:05:00 AM
Yes?
They should have gotten The Big Show by liljuniorbrown	Mar 31st, 2008 01:11:54 AM
The biggest Jason ever, that would rule. Joking aside, we do need a real true to form hardocre slasher film as stated a few posts up. The torture shit is old and more gross out than scary or suspenseful.If this guy pulls it off then I say start a new franchise all together.
Moriarty is right about the potential for a remake by Vern	Mar 31st, 2008 01:13:01 AM
but like Industry Killer says, it doesn't matter because Marcus Nispel ain't the guy to do it. This guy's one and only great achievement so far is that hilarious list of demands he wrote before getting fired from END OF DAYS. I wish him and Michael Bay would go back to directing C+C Music Factory videos and leave our innocent eyeballs alone.
Perez Hilton? by Orionsangels	Mar 31st, 2008 01:19:07 AM

So Mrs Voorhees, an old friend of the Christies... by Seph_J	Mar 31st, 2008 01:25:03 AM
is out? Not sure. So... Jason just comes back....his mother is... what? I'm confused.

Moriarty Knows Who’s Playing Jason by CuervoJones	Mar 31st, 2008 02:30:43 AM
I know who is not interested in this remake: ME
he's GREAT by ryan74	Mar 31st, 2008 02:42:06 AM
He's so cool! he's a fan of friday movies. He will be the best Jason ever!
They could get Steven Geoffreys by NomoredirtyjokespleaseweareYanks	Mar 31st, 2008 02:55:06 AM
He could but fuck em to death.
I absolutely love how their are people here by NomoredirtyjokespleaseweareYanks	Mar 31st, 2008 03:05:45 AM
passionately defending this series. Fuck yeah, thats an example to all the haters on what being a film geek is about i.e. unconditional love for something that has no real merit to most people except genre lovers.
Roman Polanski as Jason by strangernparadis	Mar 31st, 2008 03:19:13 AM
since he doesn't show his face they can't catch him. Why not? Pedophiles gotta eat!
Gotham by Vern	Mar 31st, 2008 04:20:18 AM
You lost me bud. What does it explain? Also, Industry Killer did not think Rob Zombie's Halloween was the height of filmmaking. I'm not sure what he thinks is the height of filmmaking, because he hates most modern movies. He's Industry Killer. But what's wrong with being open to the possibility of a remake being good? You don't think a remake can be good? To stay on topic, the guy looks like a good Jason in the photo. Some of those Jasons they take the mask off and look like a regular dude. This guy would not be as disappointing.
Not Shia la Boof? by Stalin vs Predator	Mar 31st, 2008 04:51:48 AM
Don't cry, Shia - there's room for you in the inevitable sequence that will show and explain Jason's childhood in detail, so that the cre-teens that watch those remakes won't have to say "Like, I totally don't get it, is he like, from there, like, how did he get immortal, duh, like, totally whatever!", or something to the general effect.

John Mayer here by mr.brownstone	Mar 31st, 2008 06:08:31 AM
I think this is a great idea.

so he has a complex over his male pattern baldness. He'll be a great jason.
the theme music from part 3 by Robstar	Mar 31st, 2008 06:49:21 AM
is my favorite part of the whole series. You know, the one that sounds like a disco version of "thriller"
Retarted Redneck Mutants? by Yeti	Mar 31st, 2008 06:50:19 AM
Uh-oh. Cue the outraged self-rightous indignation (from the Retarted Redneck Mutant Contingent) in 5, 4, 3, 2....
Richie's brother from Happy Days for Jason by Dr Gregory House	Mar 31st, 2008 06:53:58 AM
Seriously, what happened to that guy? Was Mrs. C steppin out on Mr. C? Bastard love child is kicked out of the family and never heard from again?!? I wanna see THAT episode.
Which one House, there were two Chucks by Grammaton Cleric Binks	Mar 31st, 2008 07:02:51 AM

this is the one case in which a Michael Bay remake is a step up by Spandau Belly	Mar 31st, 2008 07:14:28 AM
It's like some cosmic loophole to justify the existence of Bay and drive me mad. Everytime I try to say I can't imagine anything less entertaining than Transformers, there's always those original Friday the 13th movies to prove that statement false.
Just don't let Rob Zombie direct it by Abominable Snowcone	Mar 31st, 2008 07:31:32 AM
Please no
The Chainsaw remake was OK due to the drill sergeant by performingmonkey	Mar 31st, 2008 08:41:40 AM
R Lee Ermey I'm talking about. The greatest thing ever is that he's the voice of the green plastic sergeant in Toy Story! No no, GREATEST thing ever is in Full Metal Jacket - 'I bet you're the kind of guy that would fuck a person in the ass and not even have the god damned common courtesy to give him a reach around!'
So from a terrible MOH.... by hammer1310	Mar 31st, 2008 09:15:51 AM
...to a terrible remake. Nice career.
Great choice by macgruder	Mar 31st, 2008 11:56:31 AM
I met this guy last year at Chiller Theater in NJ. He was extremely nice to my friends and I. We talked to him for a good 10 minutes and really thought he was down to earth and a fan just like us. Im glad to see him getting this role, it couldnt have happened to a nicer guy. Hes very talented.
ThePilgrim aka Dumbass by Arctus	Mar 31st, 2008 01:19:18 PM
I love how you come on here like you've read then thing already. Could it be that YOU were one of those poor retarded camp kids and you're just bitter? As Far as Derek playing Jason, I met him at a Con recently too. Really nice guy, plus he's got a hot ass girlfriedn with HUGE hooters!!!!
too jasony!!! by BigTexas42	Mar 31st, 2008 02:33:39 PM
he should play sloth in the goonies remake/reboot/prequel/sequel that they will inevitably produce sometime in the next 3 years.
I refuse to see this by Sithdan	Mar 31st, 2008 03:10:41 PM
Jason's mother is supposed to be the murderer, not Jason. Jason was intended to be the tragic victim, not the monster. The original writer says this himself.
Derek is the right guy for the job by JERRY HORROR	Mar 31st, 2008 04:06:55 PM
We all would have loved Kane Hodder to come back, but, Derek is a perfect successor. He's good people and I wish him nothing but, the best.
Retards Like Jason Movies by 60091	Mar 31st, 2008 09:20:01 PM
The only way to stop movies like this from being made is to tell people to stop going to see them.
that guy looks so much like Jason Vorhees by smackfu	Mar 31st, 2008 10:21:25 PM
he doesn't even need the fucking mask.
MICHAEL BAY COOKS SOCKS IN HELL!!! by spud mcspud	Apr 1st, 2008 05:46:43 AM
Harry, get on this shit - Platinum Dunes are going to assfuck one of the greatest horror movies ever made: http://tinyurl.com/ 2gfq8s Oh yes. Michael Bay presents THE EXORCIST, reputedly to be directed by those juggfucklers who made ALIEN VS PREDATOR: REQUIEM. This is getting serious. Who will stop the absolute torrent of shit pouring forth from the PD production offices like pea soup from a messed up Linda Blair? WHEN WILL IT FUCKING END? AAAAAARGGHHHHH! Michael Bay sucks cocks in Hell. At least, he will if there is a God. Which it looks like there isn't, if this movie gets made.
And furthermore to the EXORCIST fiasco... by spud mcspud	Apr 1st, 2008 05:56:32 AM
We already have a shit reimagining of that movie, complete with over-acting, too many overdone CGI effects and a total over-reliance on loud sound effects, complete with nonsensical plot. It was called STIGMATA, and directed by the second greatest menace to horror since Michael Bay, which is RUPERT WAINWRIGHT - who, apart from STIGMATA, also directed Carpenter reimagined shitfest THE FOG (shudder) and the only truly scary movie of his career - PLEASE HAMMER DON'T HURT 'EM: THE MOVIE. He also directed the STRAIGHT OUTTA COMPTON video. A pasty white guy directing an NWA video back in the day? I smell the smell of selling out, even as they were selling out of FEAR OF A BLACK PLANET... Oh, and the F13 remake sounds like creamed ass with a side of ass and some ass on toast. Can I have ass with that?
Pilgrim by Arctus	Apr 1st, 2008 01:37:57 PM
Well, it's good to see that you do in fact have NO idea what you're talking about, and that what Chud has up is out dated and wrong. Just another internet know it all who really knows Zilch. Enjoy basking in your negativity and blissful ignorance!
who gives a shit? by santi01	Apr 1st, 2008 02:18:45 PM
I mean really, who on this board ACTUALLY gives a shit about this movie?
