Bloody-Disgusting has the scoop! This morning we received exclusive intel - which has been confirmed - that Derek Mears (picture inside; The Hills Have Eyes 2, Cursed) is in final talks to play Jason Voorhees in the remake of Friday the 13th for Platinum Dunes, New Line Cinema, MTV and Paramount Pictures. We have also been informed that he is in fact going to be the new Jason, it's just a matter of time until everything is finalized. FRIDAY THE 13th is set to hit theaters everywhere on February 13, 2009. Marcus Nispel is set to direct from a screenplay by Damian Shannon and Mark Swift. Jared Padalecki will play one of the teens. Read on to tell us what you think and remember you read it at Bloody-Disgusting.com first!

Not bad, not Kane Hodder, but not bad.

So they said they didn't want a bodybuilder and they cast a 6'5 inch bodybuilder? Okay... I don't want to shit on this idea, but I really hope they don't just make Jason a hulking monster who kills people with his bare hands. Ted White and Richard Brooker were the best Jasons.

Dam, I was really hoping they would bring back Kane Hodder!

Kane Hodder played Jason? When? Anyway, this guy seems great.

This guy fits the bill. He looks a little more built than the "classic" Jasons (and by that I mean the actors who portrayed Jason in 2-4), but still much better than Kane Hodder's fat and slow portrayal. I'm excited that these guys are on the right track... Now they just need to get his look down...That includes little to no hair this time.

im a little concerned that all these people involved in these terrible remakes all have involvement in one of the best horror franchises out there. if they even try and give reason as to why jason does what he does other then what has already been established or say how he does it, i.e. the who tunnels thing we heard about, its really gonna put a hole into the whole fun of the series, i dont care how he gets to point a to point b from scene to scene, its just about good old 80s fun.

GREAT CHOICE!

kane hodder is an old fucking man now.. who the fuck cares who plays jason? he's got a damn mask on and never talks.. not hard to walk as slow as possable, and swing a machete or what ever the fuck he uses.. kane hodder was only jason like twice anyway. this guy fer sure fits the bill though on was jason's build should look like

I'm argeeing with the above statement. I'm not going to say it's insignificant, but Jason could be played by alot of different people. I hope they really get a great actress to play his mother and I hope she has a big role in this because I think that storyline would great. My fav is the original that has little to do with Jason.

Good choice for Jason. Hope the movie will be better than the regular crap we are fed.

" not hard to walk as slow as possable, and swing a machete or what ever the fuck he uses.." This is what I DON'T want to see. I hated zombie Jason. He wasn't scary. Watch Jason in 2-4. He runs, he chases, he gets knocked down. He's not some impervious killing machine like Kane's Jason became. I want a wild, animalistic, brutal Jason again.


I am a HORROR movie!!!

Very good choice.

Kane Hodder was Jason 4 times. . . but that just makes him the one to have done the most. I prefer the Jason in part 2 and Freddy Vs Jason. I realize that they're pretty different, but I like watching those two Jasons the most. I never found Jason scary really, but I thought those were the performances with the most personality, and therefore the most interesting.

I agree with a few of you, I hope they go with a Jason more in line with parts 2-4 also. I don't hate zombie Jason by any means, but living Jason was much more interesting to watch.

Excellent choice!!! KILL HER MOMMY!!!!
