Exciting news for those of you who are fans of Platinum Dunes and New Line Cinema's Texas Chainsaw Massacre remake, B-D was the first to report that director Marcus Nispel will also be reviving Jason Voorhees in the Friday the 13th remake from a script by Damian Shannon and Mark Swift! The remake will focus on Jason Voorhees -- who will wear the infamous mask and kill -- and keep the famous setting of Crystal Lake. This news is pretty huge as the film will in fact be filming during the strike. Watch for the masked one to return in 2008!

Dude is not the best director in the world.....but lets face it, if your a Friday the 13th fan all you really need to see is Jason slice and dice a few people to make you happy. BUT I will say this guy does have a good sense of visual style so I can imagine how this one might turn out.

As good a choice as any they were realistically going to make.

EWWW I fucking hate this director... I thought Johnathan Liebesman was helming this?! Pathfinder was soo unbearable to sit through, Im not seeing this if he's gunna do it.


I am a HORROR movie!!!

Nispel I don't mind. The TCM remake is quite good in my mind. And Pathfinder wasn't that bad...well, as bad as everyone said it was. Stoked to see this.

lmao @ people complaining about Nispel, would you rather have Speilberg or Spike Lee? and I like the TCM remake and pathfinder by the way.I think people just need to watch the movies and stop trying to be a critic

When i was thinking about how could direct the remake and make it good and fresh and atmospheric i only thought about Marcus Nispel(i was very pleased with what he did did to the TCM remake) but i thought "no way he´d be intrested or asked to make another Platinum remake to a slasher classic". I´m very pleased with the news!

They should have brought back Steve Miner. Nispel isn't a bad choice though.

There are in fact, remakes that don't suck. Yes! I know! It's shocking. People, atleast wait until you see some stills before you start bitching to high heaven. "Don't touch the classic" "Fucking remakes" Like a bunch of little children. Nobody is ASKING you to see the remake. And even if the remake sucks you still have the original. I for one am looking forward to seeing what they do with Jason. Because imo it wasn't a classic till he put on the mask. But, eh that's just me. All I'm saying is, they seem to have a guy who WILL deliver in some way or another. Just relax, wait till you see some stills before you get all nuts

All the Jason sequels feel kinda like remakes anyway,at least this remake will actually be more original in so many ways.

i mean im going to see this.. but come on! no pamela? she was better than jason in my opinion. creepy old bitch seeking revenge after going insane over the death of her son... or jason who grows into a huge undead psycho even though he died as a little boy...this should be interesting.

They could make the movie have two killers,Pamela and Jason.

So in essence, this is a remake of Friday the 13th part 3 then? The Jason EVERYONE knows didn't don the hockey mask till halfway through the 3rd movie. And the original Firday the 13th didn't even have Jason in it (except as a child in a "dream" at the end). Do these people who remake classic horror films even see the originals? Or do they just through a dart at a board and pick what they think woulod make money? Hollywood asses....

I'd like to know who will be cast as Jason. I don't care what anyone says, but Kane Hodder is the man to play that role.

I just wanted see some know cast. I kind hate movies with UNKNOWN cast.
