'Friday the 13th' Production Art Seen!
Tuesday, March 4, 2008

February 13, 2009, the Valentine's Day that will be remembered for a hockey mask - and gallons of blood. That holiday weekend New Line Cinema and Platinum Dunes' Friday the 13th will bring the iconic Jason Voorhees back to the big screen for an insane twelve time. This sunny morning turned black as B-D was lucky enough to see some official development art for the film, which you can read about inside.

Jason Voorhees first entered my life back when I was six, and since then he has become one of my favorite icons of horror. The movies themselves hold a special place in my heart, but let's be honest... Jason has never really been scary. Even as a little (wussy) kid I could easily watch Jason slaughter his victims, while anytime Freddy Krueger graced my screen I would have to hold my hands over my eyes. JASON X was an abomination and I'm confident in saying I'm excited for the new film, which is said to make Jason more terrifying than ever before.

Last week I visited Platinum Dunes, the production company behind such remakes as TEXAS CHAINSAW MASSACRE, AMITYVILLE HORROR and THE HITCHER. While there I was treated to something I had not expected, something that nearly knocked me on my ass - I saw the potential art designs for the new Jason Voorhees, along with the possible poster art for FRIDAY THE 13!

What I saw was all temp, so the art design still needs to be approved, but what I was shown pretty rad. There were three different pieces of art lined up across the wall, two being a close-up of Jason Voorhees' face, the other a full body shot. They all had a very harsh green tint to them, which gave all the images an unsettling (and watery grave) look. Unfortunately I'll be destroyed if I go into details, but I'm quite sure it's going to please every one of you.

It's still insanely early to judge, but it looks like Platinum Dunes is on the right track and from what I hear this one is going to be BRUTAL. Keep your eyes posted here for more info in the coming weeks, maybe you'll catch a sneak peak at the art yourselves?

I'm really hoping against hope they don't make him look like he did(from the neck up) in parts 7 and up. And I still say.. no matter how bad Jason X was, it would have been cooler had they made him look like human/machine people from Virus. Not all fucking stupid, clean and comic bookish.

I want to see Jason Pre-Zombie...this looks like a hoax... the "drawing" looks like "Jason goes to Hell"....

Okay so in other words they're remaking Friday the 13th Part 2? Or are they just making another sequel? I'm not sure if they really know what they're doing themselves.

francesco

nop, they are making something new. a new start!!! someone told me they are scouting locations!

horrorchick81
7:45am, March 4, 2008

should just be a sequel to part two because mrs. vorhees is the original killer from part one......eh i am still a jason fan so i guess ill check it out. as long its with people who can act and not some stupid teeny bopper who cant act there way out of a paper bag. plus this better be R not pg13 bring on the blood, gore and guts.

damn. i thought we were gonna see something.

I have faith in this remake

Zombie Hell

Shattered, that isn't the drawing, that IS a picture from Jason Goes To Hell :P

This may have potential to be good, but I will just have to wait and see.

still worried, isnt markus nisple behind it. I really enjoyed the chansaw remake so i DO have hope but here a question.SHould micheal bay even be in the entertainment biz.. I think not. All he does is play to the unintellectual popcorn poppers how are dazzled by what a computer can do other than what the filmaker can do.Also, throw him back to when movies had no special effects and he would be done before film school graduation

Mr. Fillet
10:45am, March 4, 2008

Have faith. Even it is does turn out to be crap I'll be excitied for the rest of 08. Jason is the biggest bad ass in all of horror. He's the mans man of the genre. I can't wait.

jkrouskop
10:52am, March 4, 2008

Glad things look good, Mr. D, but you picked a strange pic to accompany this article. We've already had one guy assume that this image from JGTH was the drawing you saw, and there's bound to be more confusion. Unless this is the closest pre-existing Jason to the one planned for the new film, why select this pic for the piece?

Jason X was awesome.

PsykotikDelusion
1:16pm, March 4, 2008

Jesus man, that's it? You got us all worked up over nothing. No pics, no details, just "it's going to please every one of you". And you've really gotta learn how to spell man. Twelve time? I guess it's being picky, but I figured knowing how to spell would be important to someone running a world class website. You know, so they don't come off as being stupid. And JGTH was far far worse than Jason X.

Jonny Horror
1:33pm, March 4, 2008

If the choice is another Friday sequel or a remake, I fully support the remake. Like Halloween and Freddy, the sequel storylines have gotten so ridiculous. This could be really good if done right.

Beyond
1:44pm, March 4, 2008

I hope they keep Jason in the "shadows" for most of the movie, like part 2. I think it will be more effective like that, instead of showing him all the time, in his full glory.

Devils Daughter
2:36pm, March 4, 2008

Death Bed next to House Of The Dead Jason X was the worst movie ever made. I know they said Jason will have normal flesh colored skin but I don't really like that, he doesn't need to be a rotting magot infested mess but I would much rather see him look a little rotten and I really hope he still has one missing/messed up eye

Devils Daughter
2:37pm, March 4, 2008

Oh and the whole thing about Jason having underground tunnels needs to be forgoten...and fast

Guywiththegun
2:44pm, March 4, 2008

Hey! Maybe Jason will look like Jason! And Crystal Lake will look like Crystal Lake! OMFG I CAN'T WAIT. Will this site whore itself to this remake as embarrassingly as it did for RZ's Halloween?

awesome! no pg-13....this is one remake im really excited for!

Vasquez
3:30pm, March 4, 2008

heeey Jason X had some seriously awesome death scenes... and Jason Goes to Hell was the same... except not enough JASON actually doing it. Isnt that what all these movies are about anyways? buncha haters...

NoOneImportant
4:06pm, March 4, 2008

Take that picture of Jason off,and give us a detailed desciption of what you saw.

Devourthesun
4:15pm, March 4, 2008

God how many of you are really retarded enough that you can't tell the picture posted is from "Jason goes to Hell" and clearly not the new art for the remake? He needed a picture to stick in the story so he picked one from an existing friday film. Fuck some of you idiots really give horror fans a bad name.

gutmuncher
5:06pm, March 4, 2008

Yeah i see more promise in this than I do a crappy Freddy movie. Jason has so much more potential than that other guy with the girly nails. This should be good and I too hope to see a pre-zombie more mutant inbred type jason. Either way Jason is awsome.

Erased
5:13pm, March 4, 2008

I'm too lazy to read that whole article...does anyone know if Kane Hodder is going to play Jason?

biledemon3

WTF is this kid talking about jason looked bad ass in part 7

cpanthers
6:09pm, March 4, 2008

Can't wait til they cast this movie.

bubba68
6:23pm, March 4, 2008

I sure hope Kane Hodder does'nt play Jason. He was awful! I always thought that Richard Brooker in part 3 or Ted White in part 4 were the best. Anways, thanx for the update Mr. D! Keep 'em coming!

DarkVengeance
6:29pm, March 4, 2008

I cannot wait for this!! Personally Ids rather have Hodder do it than most.

jnhfreddy
6:40pm, March 4, 2008

they acnt call it a remake!!!mrs vorhees was the original killer yet another friday sequal at this rate the special dvd boxset (if it ever comes out) will be the size of the friends one lol one the other hand im lookin forward to this one there hasnt been a friday 4 a while

My comment was stupid. I should have read the article better before posting.

I can't wait until we get some teasers. We should be getting them soon if the movie is coming out in eleven months!

DJGQ
7:59pm, March 4, 2008

Kane Hodder is the worst Jason ever.

zach
10:18pm, March 4, 2008

Why is this even news? "Hey guys, I saw a drawing of what may or may not be what the new Jason looks like but I can't tell you about it!" Who the fuck cares if there's no substantial details. This just seems like you're bragging that you got to hang out at a real live production house. Oh wow, lucky you...

that sounds pretty bad ass but too vague to tell

Mama Voorhees killed in the 1st movie. How will they get around that? Will he have the hockey mask? It's SAD that PLATINUM DUNES is raping these prier horror films for CASH. Make a great original horror film and promote that. Oh, I forgot, PLATINUM DUNES sucks as bad as their unoriginal films.

gary
1:22am, March 5, 2008

hopefully it will be as good as all others!!!

D_KILLER
3:12am, March 5, 2008

Sounds promising. But Jason was scary before he was a zombie, Mr D. I agree if you're talking about the stupid, super powered, zombie Jason. But in 2 - 4 he was scary as fuck! Let's all hope that we get the original terrifying character from early and best 'Friday the 13th' movies.

Jonny Horror
4:00am, March 5, 2008

Great point. I would love to see this remake center around Momma Vorhees and the creation of why Jason becomes what he is. THAT is atleast interesting. I agree the whole Jason lumbering around like a dead zombie hacking people up, shitty sequel after shitty sequel was stupid. How many times can you be shot,burned, stabbed, limbs removed,etc, and still come back???? That is just too much fantasy bullshit for truly good horror. Jason X was the dumbest idea EVER greenlighted by a studio. Right behind that was Freddy Vs. Jason. Sorry fans of the flick, but that was sooooooo stupid. It's movies like that, that make remakes so easy to digest. I don't want to giggle and laugh when I watch Horror. I'm hoping to be on the edge of my seat wondering whats going to happen next, the unexpected, shocked, jolted maybe. I want to have a disturbed feeling after watching it. Give me that feeling I had after seeing Halloween the first time in 1978, at 12 yrs old. Or how about the time when Jason comes up from behind the canoe at the end of the first Friday and pulls her under??? THAT IS HORROR!!

I liked the Freddy vs Jason stuff, design and actor.

Hmph... Friday the 13th is probably the most overrated of all horror series.. Though if the same guys that made the Ammityville remake are behind this who knows.. it might just be better than the original

hevymentl13
3:35pm, March 5, 2008

Friday the 13th overrated...I think not.

3:45pm, March 5, 2008

Oh boy... yet another remake... This is supposed to be exciting? Pathetic.

kaicooper
12:18pm, March 6, 2008

remack again??...oh GOD

TonyMidnight
6:16am, March 7, 2008

it is for sure a remake. and i happen to have a good understanding they are combining the first 4 films in this remake. and as for the pamela voorhees being the original killer... this gives platinum dunes a chance to give their own spin... lets keep in mind... you never actually see the killer through out the entire original film. who's to say pamela wasn't controlling her son to do the deed and when someone tried to get in the way... that's when mommy voorhees decided to get her hands dirty. there are a number of possiblities... but i do understand they were talking about underground tunnels through out the camp area which would explain how he got around as fast as he did and popped up just anywhere... keep the info coming MrDisgusting

Halloween_Night
4:29am, March 8, 2008

Yes, dunes will incorporate story lines and characters from the first four films in the remake

If it incorperates the first 4 movies there had be one hell of a body count!

BuffaloBill06
3:00pm, March 10, 2008

When I saw this article I got all excited, but was let down due to the fact that this pic he posted is something we've seen before. Doesn't look any different to me...he should still be Jason, but I was expecting something slightly different? And to answer someone's post...I heard Kane Hodder has NOT been approached for the role yet, but would love to play Jason again.

Demented D
2:41am, March 12, 2008

"Death Bed 12:35pm, March 4, 2008 Jason X was awesome." You're fucking joking, right?

2:34pm, March 12, 2008

How do you remake F13 and have Jason in it? Are these people retarded? Let me guess, a "remake/sequel/re-visioning", right? Give me a break.

jkrouskop
11:49am, March 14, 2008

If you remake FRIDAY THE 13TH and DON'T have Jason in it, you'll have what they like to call in the film industry, "a flop". Hardcore F13 fans will make up between 35-40% of the audience for this film if it is profitable. The rest of the ticket revenue will come from the general populace - nearly all of who will cry "Foul!" if the killing is done by anyone other than a hockey mask-clad Jason. Many of those people don't know who the killer was in the original, and none of them care. So the answer is, "No, they're not retarded." They're businessmen, and they know the surest way to bury the F13 franchise forever is to do a straight remake of the original film and not include the franchise's iconic star.

time to burn...GUTMUNCHER..go to fuckin hell, Nightmare on Elm Street (the first 2 and New Nightmare) had more scares int them than all the fridays put together. And saying that Freddy isnt scary. You probably pissed out of your pussy the first time you saw him . JAson VOrhees is by far the top 5 icons of horror. Amazing films. I hope this turns out to be great. RZ Halloween was good! I dont care what any of you uckin hardcore Halloween fans say, Ive seen that movie at least 12 times and the remake was almost as good. Oh and did i say gutmuncher can eat a dick

Joshuaalt
2:40pm, March 15, 2008

I do not think that that picture is from the new film. I hope that the film is better than the remake of TCM and I didn't see the other remakes because I already know that the originals are better....acturally I do want to see Amityville Horror. I will see it on Valentine's Day.

Loomistheman
8:54pm, March 15, 2008

I must admit when i heard about Jason X i thought it was going to suck. But i thought it was way better than Jason GTH. Ive been kinda turned off remakes because of RZ's Halloween. Sorry horror fans(to me the only ones who count are above the age 21) it just sucked. Though the directors cut made me slightly less mad by keeping Loomis alive. But hey its all in the eyes of the beholder. I am interested in when this remake will take place. The 50's? After part 2? Someone did bring up that Mrs. Vorhees could have been controlling Jason to kill in the first one. So they could play it out like that in the remake. I always wanted to know what happened to Jason's Dad. Make it more like he was raised in the woods. A survivalist. Who lives by the lake. Maybe Dad owned a piece of land and some summercamp company wanted it. He would'nt sell. Company kills him and Jason sees it. Camp gets built. TIME FOR SOME FREAKING REVENGE. LET THE KILLING BEGIN. Wow that came from the top of my head. I need to be a writer! Noone steal my idea!!

leatherfacekillserinfan1
9:26am, March 16, 2008

I can't wait 2 see this!! I loved Tcm and, Amytiville! I still have 2 see the hitcher though. Marcus Nispul makes the remakes just as good as the original so I cant wait for it. And for all of those Rz halloween haters u are just 2 scared 2 admit it was better than the original.

aerollica
6:34pm, March 24, 2008

The Friday 13th franchise has been as slow and tiring as Jason himself. The first few F13 films were alright but then the remainder of the series, so far, has been cheap, silly and boring. This next Jason film, (if he is actually in it) needs to be the last. It needs to go out with a bang. Maybe Jason and the whole crystal lake camp can go up in flames?? Maybe have a Jason Voorhees vs Mrs. Voorhees finale? the winner gets the mask....

Freddy Scary WTH? Freddy's funny but was never scary. He'll make you jump but then again that was only new Nightmare (which was an abomination) and Jason will always makes you jump.
