Friday the 13th Part 2 (201?)

[disanti]

It just won't die

For some reason Platinum Dunes is till trying to follow up the Friday the 13th remake. If they really knew what the fans wanted they'd concentrate on other projects and just let their rights to Friday run out.

Anyway...discuss

I knew this was coming. I won't be as excited for this one as I was for the first.

I actually really liked the remake. Will definitly see this opening night at midnight.

Would be cool if they brought back more of the original soundtrack though.

Why not? The other Friday thread was starting to clutter up with some talk about the sequel so why not separate the conversations. Keep the reviews over there and talk about the next one over here. Production could start up shortly after Nightmare wraps up.

Good news IMO. I really think that the next movie will be better. Not that I thought this movie was bad but it was simple. I think that it has to be that way because more than anything we needed a Jason that would be a badass again. What worked for me was that Jason kicked ass and wasn't the butt of jokes or given a campy role.

Maybe with the next movie we can get hints of a Voorhees back story (no prequal please) and get some better characters.

If someone can hold the damn camera steady, I just might be interested. More use of the classic music would be nice, too.

Yea I wasn't a fan of Jablonski's soundtrack either. besides Ki Ki Ki Ma Ma Ma it didn't contain anything from the originals. I expected a lot better. It almost sounded like industrial techno. At one point however I swear I heard the drum beat from the famous Part 3 soundtrack.

Oh and that 'porno' music he slipped in when that girl was rubbing oil on her teets, yikes. That sounded like the stoner music from FvJ when that douchebag with the beanie gets stoned with caterpillar Freddy.

I really think that the feed back from their first movie could impact the next one greatly. There were a lot of chances for them to take that movie to the next level. Hindsight is 20/20 but hopefully they can use that info to improve upon the next installment.

The campiness I can take, however it was just too cliche for me. Even Chewie toasts to being a cliche, that was horrible. I think if you go back and look at the dialogue from the originals parts 1 and 2 you can see that the characters live up to stereotypes buy their looks and actions, not by reminding you with their dialogue every two seconds.

That would depend on if the trend dies out by then.

I don't understand why we would need hints to his back story. It's not as if it's something that has never been touched upon before. It's rather well known.
