IF I SO WASENT OVERWEIGHT! HAHAHAHA

KANE HODDDER

I'd like to see someone new in the role

MICHAEL BAILEY SMITH.

Kane Hodder isn't thin and cut

I agree with nickmeece about michael baily smith.

Actually Jason had a pretty average body build in 2-6. He was never huge until Hodder which wasn't until 7. So let's not pass judgment until someone is cast and we not only see pictures of him in costume, but video of him moving. THEN we can pass judgment :P

Tyler Mane?

Steviris. You must be a Halloween fanboy. Fuck off and die, luckily your boy Zombie isn't here to taint another franchise. Anyways If I had to pick out of all the actors whose played Jason, I'd go with Ted White followed by Hodder. I don't care what people say about him.

They couldn't get Tyler Mane because he thinks fridays suck.

Goose101 by the way if you are trying to diss the halloween franchise then you better stop watching horror films and go watch Mother goose. Halloween franchise is far better than Friday. First 2 friday films were good but after that they were nothing but Repetitive. Well Freddy vs Jason was a exeption.

KANE FUCKEN HODDER!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Brad Renfro

Brad Renfro? Um, he's dead,so he definately couldn't play the part. I agree with Michael Bailey Smith.

no to kane hodder. he was a decent jason, but come on, almost any person able to do stunts can be jason for the most part. he's not freddy before i get flamed, i said "almost" and "for the most part"

The Halloween remake was better than the Texas Chainsaw remake. There I said it. I'm afraid of what this guy'll do to this one.

this is why i love living in austin!!!!!first WWE returns here and now they're gonna film the friday the 13th remake here!!!!!!its prolly gonna be filmed near lake travis(which isnt far from my house)

Sometimes, I read B-D comments sections just to remind me that we aren't so far removed from the lower animals. Goose101, you win today's de-evolution prize for raving, kneejerk fanboy pants wetting with your completely irrational reaction to a two word post by someone you don't even know. First, you assume that Steviris is completely serious when he suggests Tyler Mane, and from there make the leap that the guy must be a "Halloween fanboy" - as though everyone who fits that label is automatically a fan of Rob Zombie's film, and as though Mane would not be able to ever play any other psychopath since he played Michael Myers once. Then you actually tell the guy to "fuck off and die." A perfectly rational and well-adjusted piece of advice to give another human being because he has a different opinion about a horror movie, eh? Why not wish him testicular cancer and then threaten to rape his grandmother in the rest home while you're at it? If you're going to be a sociopath, don't be such a pussy about it. Tell him how you really feel! Of course, you do recover somewhat after that, proving how much you yourself are not a fanboy by suggesting the bold casting possibility of...(Wait for it!)... Kane Hodder! But before considering ol' "Token Jason", you offer, Platinum Dunes should hit up Ted White - a guy who must be in his sixties by now and hasn't played Jason since 1984. That would certainly jibe with the casting notice's call for a late 20s, early 30s stuntman, wouldn't you say? But you aren't concerned with that. I mean, if you're willing to ignore the fact that White was uncomfortable playing Jason in the first place and asked for his name to be removed from the credits of THE FINAL CHAPTER, why bother worrying about whether he's too old for the part, right? Look, I realize your dad probably wants his laptop back for a big World of Warcraft Guild Meeting or to download some barnyard porn, but could you at least try to put a little thought into your responses before you smear the keyboard with Doritos nacho cheese dust? Maybe make some suggestions that actually make even the tiniest bit of sense, or try to show just a hint of civility and not act like a drooling lunatic toward other human beings? It's a lot to ask, I know, but I think you can do it if you try.

They are describing how Richard Brooker looked as Jason in Part III. They should just get it right and have him be Jason again. He is the perfect size to be Jason and he did a great job in part III, especially with the chase scenes in the final scenes of the film.

Kane Hodder

oh yesssssssssssssss!

Who cares about the whole "sad eyes" casting call...I didn't exactly see that in the final product of Freddy vs Jason...did anybody else? I thought the Jason in that film was perfect.

Tyler Mane would actually make a great Jason. The main reason I didn't love Zombie's Halloween was because Meyers was way too much like Jason. Face it, this guy is one big, angry motherfucker. Meyers was never that big or obvious.

i would like to see a very new jason actor. someone could love the role in the future.

Exactly, Ultrazilla2000! Sometimes folks get hung up on the most ridiculous things, like a throway phrase in a casting call that only prospective actors were ever really meant to see. I also agree with you, theGuardian86, that Mane would be good as Jason. Again, only the fanboys would pay much attention to the fact that it was the same guy who played Michael Myers in Zombie's HALLOWEEN or Sabretooth in X-MEN. All of the other stuntmen who've played Jason have also shown up in other films playing other characters, but (with the exception of Hodder) few audience members have ever even noticed or been distracted by that fact.

If Kane Hodder does not play Jason I will be pissed.

how about Kane Hooder? he was bad ass in part 7

Blekh, I'm sick of Kane Hodder. In case nobody noticed they're trying to make this a more serious horror film.

Ok I thought this wasn't gonna be a remake....i thought they confirmed that it was going to take place between Part 3 and 4. Can someone clarify this?

WTF???? Just hire kane hodder. Jesus!!!

Part 4 never clarified on the amount of time that past after Jason escaped the Hospital too the Jarvis attacks. <P> I think this film will open up shortly after the opening moments of part 4. The winter season will be nearing. A group of teens heads out to Camp Crystal Lake too retrieve they're Marihuana plants. After they collect the plants. They build a campfire near the abandoned cabins. The Van's lights illuminate the Lake ahead- Some old 70 Rock Tune plays on the Van's stereo. <P> One of them start talking about the Voorhees Legend This tale covers the events of 1-2-3 and conclude wiht the opening Hospital event in part 4. <P> Our character say's something along the lines of "Hospital staff discovered the dead nurse and coroner. Jason body was missing... Some still think he's alive, some say he returned too these woods too kill once more!" <P> Two of the kids get up and wander off- As they wander through the woods- They stumble upon Jason's Makeshift cabin. <P> They don't know it's his until the find Pam's severed head sitting on a table. <P> Meanwhile <P> Jason bum rushes the kids around the closed down campsite. The light from campfire and the loud 70's rock music coming from they're van attracted him- He kills them all. The kids who found Jason's makeshift cabin race back to the campsite... They see their friends dead dismembered bodies strewn about. They race for the van, Jason pop's up behind them, he kills them both. Jason grabs the other bodies. He tosses them into the van. He pushes the van into the lake. <P> We listen to the 70's rock music fade as the Van sinks into the dark murky water. <P> An entire season passes. Summers here again, and so is a group of Disabled Children and Really Hot Teen Camp Councilors... Oh Yes!!!!!! (I sure hope Jason doesn't give these Special Kids a break like he did in Part 6)

I dont give a goddamn cock licking shit stealing fuck, if there looking for a thin sad eye Jason Voorhees. For fuck sakes, if your looking to make a Friday the 13th film in this day an age, you best be looking for Kane Hodder. Sure Freddy VS Jason was fun and all, but lets face it, its no straight up Friday the 13th. If they want to do it right, you fucking get Kane and you put the goalie mask on him and let him go to town. Who do we have to strangle in order to get shit done right!

If the Jason they are giving us is the one we had in Part 3 and 4. He doesn't have to have too look like a wrestler on steroids or a 7 foot tall lanky guy........................................................ ................................................... He just has to be a 6 feet tall man.... You people aren't getting it!!! This isn't a remake. It takes place shortly after part 4 opens...................................................... ................................................... Part 4 never showed you how much time lapsed from Jason's escape from the hospital too the Jarvis attack. It could have been days, weeks, months, or years...................................................... ................................................... Jaso n kills some fucktard at the beginning, it happens around wintertime cause one of the fucktards is wearing a "Fuck Christmas" Tshirt. He kills all these fucktards, and leaves no trace- so no one knows. A season passes. Some special needs kids arrive at camp crystal lake on bus with a bunch of teen Counselors ALA Meatballs/Madman. Jason has a whole bunch of killing too do......................................................... ................................................... The film will conclude in a manner that sets you up to go back to part 4's Dorks arriving at the cabin near Jarvis's house.

I mean "Jason kills some "fucktards" at the beginning" not Jaso n kills some fucktard at the beginning

I doubt Kane Hodder is playing Jason, Michael Bailey Smith would be perfect!

There is only one Jason and his name is Kane Hodder. If you have never met the guy, trust me, there is nothing sensitive about him.

Why does Jason need to be a hulking large person? Why not try an average size person? I think that would be more realistic. Does every killer need to be 6'8" with huge biceps?

Would you rather have a 5'5" 120lbs stickboy??!

i hated FvJ Jason...that was terrible...

I think Michael Bailey Smith would be a perfect human Jason.

Michael Bailey Smith.

Not every killer needs to be hugw but that's Jason. Michael and Freddy weren't huge.

The new Jason should be: Michael Bailey Smith .....or Kane Hodder or the previous Jason in Freddy Vs Jason all maintaining a good resemblance to Jason but..Michael Bailey Smith would give a good start to the franchise .

In both the TCM and Halloween remakes the main roles where given to actors twice the size and bulk of the original characters. Since in the first parts of the Friday 13th series Jason was not some big hulk i presonally would have liked if they broke the recent trend and went with someone who is not so big. Hodder and the guy who played Jason in Freddy vs Jason seemed cool to me as well but i think if they go back to the original stats of Jason as appreared inthe first movies we might get a remake which gives the main baddie some distinction over the "new" Leatherface and Michael Myers characters. Not sure if i made my point clear though...

I think Richard Brooker from 3 had the best look. He was still of normal size,but at the same time still big enough to be menacing. Pt. 3 is by far the best Jason film.

I'm trying not to respond to another post, but my point was Jason does not need to be super sized. Average is what I meant, NOT 5'5 and 120 lbs. It's just an opinion. Some I'm sure like Jason gigantic. I'm saying (MY opinion only) that he would be more real if he were normal in size, like 6' feet without the huge biceps and puffed out chest. Either the Steroids are really working, or Crystal Lake has a really great gym.

i just hope SAG strike won't ruin this project!

kane hodder comes to mind.

Two words: Corey Feldman!

Actually, I need to amend that statement... Five words: Corey Feldman or Kevin Bacon!

Kane Hodder! They're trying to make Jason look Weak. But if has to be some one lean, C.J. Graham Second best Jason. and HalloweenFan You've made me lose what little faith I had left in Humanity. oh well...

Kane Hodder had his time why can't everyone just get over it! He was a type/style of Jason(zombie) not THE jason. This film is based way before Jason got all crappy and zombie, not a fan of the movies after part 6 although there is no denying Kane did a great job, he was intense as Jason. I think they should just go with an unknown stunt man that fits the shoes of what they want, after all he will be wearing make up and a hockey mask so who cares who it is as long as he can watch the movies from p2 to final chapter and get a feel for the way Jason moves. Just my opinion.

Brad Renfro

Michael Bailey Smith

It's all kinda funny....just get new people that no one has ever seen before....if you hire someone who people already know it reduces the "fear factor"...this is a lame publicity stunt...I'm a real horror fan, but I just can't get excited by this...the important question is..."who's doing the make-up and who's the director?" Man! They make so many damn "sequels"...which were all actually just "remakes" and I'm supposed to be excited by a remake? How many times do we have to see this same, tired situation? Still, Jason has a lot of fans...so I'm happy for all of you...I hope it's the best one yet!

I'm glad no one has mentioned Ken Kirzinger. He was hands down the worst in the series.

If the timeline for this movie is supposed to be between somewhere between Parts 3-4, then Jason need to have the look and movements of Jason in that time frame. I think Platinum Dunes will go with someone fresh, which is fine, as long as he does his homework and studies how Jason was. The same would go if they were making it between Parts 6-8(Which they're not) but if they were then the same would apply. I'm sorry, but wasn't Kane Hodder associated with the worst of the series(Manhatten,Hell,X)? They are simply returning Friday back to it's roots(Finally) If it weren't for Parts 1-4, there never would have been a "Zombie" Jason. I totally agree that Michael Bailey Smith would be perfect. He's already got the look....wait until he would be in full wardrobe. Hopefully they go back to the original hockey mask too, after part 4 the masks always looked like something you could buy at "Spencer's". I'm also glad they pushed the start date back, so it'll be a summer shoot....Camp....summertime....it just makes since.

The only actor, i think, suited for the role of Jason, at least acting-wise, is Daniel Day Lewis. The role is just so heartfelt anyway, and I feel Lewis would give a beautiful, soulful performance as the emotionally tortured Jason Voorhees. At least, if you go by Ronny Yu's logic.
