Jared Padalecki (Cry Wolf, Supernatural) is in final negotiations to star in the remake of Friday the 13th that Platinum Dunes is producing for New Line and Paramount. Marcus Nispel is directing from a script by Damian Shannon and Mark Swift. Michael Bay, Brad Fuller and Andrew Form are producing. Paramount released the original "Friday" in 1980, introducing horror icon Jason with a brief appearance. The remake will focus on the serial killer, who will wear his now-iconic hockey mask. Padalecki will play the lead, who investigates what happened up at Crystal Lake. A release is planned for -- what else? -- Friday, Feb. 13, 2009.

The Lead is a male!?!?! And He isnt a reprise of Tommy??? He's Investigating what happened... Not what is happening... Do they have a film crew...Is this the Blair Witch meets Jason??? I fucking hope not!!!! I so fucking hope not!!! Why would an investigator be anywhere near the camp. Whats he looking for broken sticks and footprints. Why's this fucker so young.does he still rock the butt hair style? Most Investigators aren't 20ish. Unless they are Private, run their own show and have been in and flunked the force. I smell Blair Witch Project Meets Jason... Fuck that shit!! Fuck that Shit!!!What's he looking for footprints and broken sticks. Did he track down Yeti's before this. Jesus man what about the formula used in the films before this. I was so looking forward to a bunch of kids in wheelchairs and helmets with learning and ability disorders.... Fuck!!! way to drop the ball man!

Give us some Coming Of Age Retarded, Blind, Wheel Chair bound, Helmeted Wearing, Deformed, Morbidly Fat, Psychically Handicapped, Mentally Retarded Kids. Mix em up a bit. Add some Hot Ass Camp Councilors who love to fuck like rabbits. Our group of Shortbusers pair up and befriend one another. They sneak out one night and follow a hot ass female councilor and her boyfriend deep into the woods. Hoping to catch a glimpse of some hot Tit/Fuck show. Jason crashes the Fuck fest kills the Bitch and her Boyfreind. Jason goes after the kids who were spying on them. The one in the wheelchair who was carried on the big dumb ones back is killed. They race into the councilors cabins screaming up a shit storm. Guess what, no one believes them... But the Dead Mungoloid Dude and the Gimp who Yoda'ed on his back can't be found. So Everyone heads out too the woods with flash lights... Oh fuck yeahhhhhhhhhhhhh!!! Fuck this Teenybopper Nancy Drew and Hardy Boy shit. Give us something like the above...

It's actually is a refresh like Batman Begins was for the batman franchise. It's NOT a new chapter in the series; it's a new beginning for the Friday franchise.

Awesome news. Supernatural is one of my favorite shows, and Jared Padalecki is a terrific actor.

I'm sorry, but investigation/investigator- either means explaining things out, or having the Characters exploring a Blair Witch theme with a camera. Neither approaches will do this Series any good. No one wants too know "WHY and HOW!!!!!" I Should have know thats what this take would do! Even more so with the stupid Tunnels mentioned. They want to demystify the "WHY" and "HOW" Kids.... That's not what these film are about. I want the Pussy, Dick, and Fart jokes with the excess Female Nudity and the Gratuitous Creat'A'Kill's. I want the Social Leaper character and or Characters- Yes, more than one did Part 4 alot of justice... Who dream of getting laid by the "Way out of your league" Chick. I want a FUN film. With next to nothing for plot, but lots of laughs and good scares. Not some Blair Witch Rip Off Documentary about The "WHY" and "HOW". Time To Speak in Volumes.. Before it's too late. How Can they Fuck this up. The IMDB plot and the opening leak Plot sounded perfect! Now it's going X-Files/Blair Witch and shit...

i think casting Jared is great news! he's a good actor. i'm wondering if maybe (like a character in F13 prt 4.) if Jared's character is looking/"investigating" for his sister or some friend/relative. i have faith in Marcus Nispel to do a great job.

Don't we already know what happened? A FUCKING crazed retard with a hockey mask is killing all the hot snatch. This stinks already and it's not even a day old. YUK!!! If someone is going to investigate...bring back Amy Steel. Might as well throw this on the worst remake fire.

Bring back Kevin Bacon as a child molester who's family was killed by gangbangers who goes on a rafting trip with young boys who get kidnapped by Charlize Theron.

I have no idea if an investigator in Friday the 13th would be good or not. Because, they can actually get a chance to uncover some character history/development of Jason (and his mother) rather than just body count in the movie.

Kudos to 'gorebath' - that is actually very funny. First of all - fuck that hockey mask that Jason used to wear. He is the one serial killer who is actually scarier looking with his mask off and they keep putting that stupid pussy ass mask on him. They should just have him shit hockey pucks while they are at it. Then that pre-drinking age investigator can find one and say 'he must be close'.

I'm glad he's up for the role. I enjoy him on Supernatural.

Great! My favorite male actor is starring as the male lead in this one. I think I couldn't be more happier...but about the remake/prequel/midquel!?!?!? whatever it is...I'm not sure if it'll work out.

Oh man, more of THIS kinda thing? More tween and teen wanking with their heartthrob guys, WB fads, The Hills/Laguna Beach craze, and love of energy drinks. God help us.

I think they'll do a Halloween; in that we'll see scenes from the original and lots of new material before and possibly after the original timeframe. I enjoyed the remake of The Hills Have Eyes and I thought Halloween had some neat touches, but we're just going to have to wait and see how this pans out. People will be unhappy, they always are with remakes, but with Jason not even really in the original I think there's some neat ground to cover. Fingers crossed everyone...
