Bloody-Disgusting has learned exclusively that 21-year-old Danielle Panabaker (Mr. Brooks, Sky High), Aaron Yoo (Disturbia, 21) and Travis Van Winkle (Transformers, Left in Darkness, Asylum) - all pictured inside - are the latest camp counselors to enroll at Camp Crystal Lake. They will join Jared Padalecki, Derek Mears and Amanda Righetti in Platinum Dunes' remake of Friday the 13th, which arrives in theaters Friday, February 13, 2009. The remake will focus on Jason Voorhees (Mears) -- who will wear the mask and kill -- and keep the famous setting of Crystal Lake.

And to clear things up, that is not KAY PANABAKER, Daniel's younger sister, but both are disney channel stars.

i have to agree w/ BloodyCape. it looks like these are going to be the camp kids rather than counselors.

I wasn't initially set on Danielle Panabaker, she looks VERY young in that pic. But I checked Wireimage, and saw a recent photo and now I think she looks fine.

So I am guessing Friday the 13th remake is going to be PG-13. With nothing that makes the original great. Like kick ass kills, boobs and bad acting.

Halloween_Night, thanx for clearing that up for me. :) i understand now why in your earlier post when your asking why BD.com used that particular pic of her. but she is very pretty.

That's awesome! Sure hope this isn't some sort of PG-13 crap. It should have ass-kicking and boobs and stuff.

I think this may be the best remake so far. honestly the original sucked big time. It's just a rip off of Halloween. The only thing dooming this is if the story is the same as the original. How bout you actually make the movie interesting instead of gory...right?


horrorhed85
9:10pm, April 11, 2008

I meant to say "instead of just being gory." GORE AWAY... but have a story too

ok, so it's dawson's creek with jason? fuck these kids and fuck michael bay. those of you who dumped on halloween are gonna have your hands full with this one.

How is this like Dawson's Creek (or any other teen show)?

Friday The 13th was a rip off of Halloween? soooo, does that mean Pamela Voorhees was a Trekki too? seriously I don't see how it was a rip off of it, when it was done around the same time as Halloween, anywho, I know I got off subject, just needed to be said, only thing I can say for this remake is, I hope it doesn't just start up with Jason with his mask, it needs to show why he's killing, where he got the mask, etc. either way I'll definately go see it

Yoo!!!!!! Solider boy j/k anyway pretty alright casting for kids. remember half of these kids die. I'm not sure how Friday the 13th(Which happens usually during the summer time of the years) and Halloween are considered even close to each other beside the fact the main character in most of the movies wears a mask which wasn't the case with the original or second Friday where it was first Jason's mom then Jason was wearing a burlap sack so I'm not sure how it was rip off


Kaname Tousen

Anyway if you remember in the late 70's and early 80's half the stuff in Friday the 13th was what the "bad kids" where doing I wouldn't be surprised if half these kids are hitting the bong

its not the casting that makes it a teeny bop movie like some others out there but how they go about making this movie. i just hope they stay away from that gritty look from tcm remake, its not the friday the 13th style so i hope this director can distinguish the differance between the two series.


lord_kode

amen Kaname, and I agree completely, jasonlives, I'm hoping he doesn't try to make this look like a true story like with The Texas Chainsaw Massacre with fake footage ie Blair Witch Project, even though on the DVD for Leatherface: The Texas Chainsaw Massacre III, in the special features, they even tell you that the whole series, even the first one, were all loosely based on the serial killer Edward Gein

not only that, but the over all look and feel to the movie. it should be campy, but 80s like campy, not the bad kind. it should look like the first four did, esspecially 4. But there shooting in texas and though Ive never been, I just imagine lots of dry land and no lakes with trees and nice little wooded areas and such and I dont want that to be the overall vibe of this movie. Im confident the writers know exactly what we want after the FVJ movie with there 10 simple rules to follow in order to stay true to the series so Im sure that even if the series is being restarted with some new ways of going about it that they were smart enough to walk that line to please everyone.
