Today the official page for Platinum Dunes has been updated with a brand new blog and a new hi-res look at Jason Voorhees' mask from New Line Cinema and Warner Bros. Pictures' Friday the 13th (set visit preview), which hits theaters February 13, 2009. The remake will focus on Jason Voorhees -- who will wear the mask and kill -- and keep the famous setting of Crystal Lake (first picture of the sign here). Also, don't forget we still haven't seen Jason Voorhees' hood yet!!
Sweeeeet! Can't fucking WAIT for this. The mask looks so much like his first hockey mask from Part III... Am so psyched for this flick. It's gonna rock!!!
I kinda expected something different by the way it was being described. Don't get me wrong, I am happy to see the old goalie mask alive and well, but it's nothing new by any means.
This is so goddamn awesome! I'm positively filling my pants with pounds of brown stinky glee! Now if only you could show us a picture of what the tread on the soles of the head camp counselor's shoes will look like, my life will be virtually complete. I hope mommy reads me a story tonight.
HYBRID1991, i agree w/ you. i too thought Michael's & Leatherface's remake masks were incredibly scary. this "new" Jason mask, while not bad or anything, is just (for the most part) the same as the others. meh.....
It is the traditional mask. They got rather shit in later installments. They have gone back to the original design which rocks man. Can't wait to see if they get the "infamous" axe groove into it from part 3.
The funny thing about all these smartass remarks about the mask being the same as always is that the exact same people making them would be the first ones here to bitch if the mask had been radically redesigned to something virtually unrecognizable as a hockey mask. Talk about retarded... As F13 fans, we're more than entitled to be a little psyched that this mask evokes the classic Jason look, rather than forsaking the character's iconic appearance for something new. Also worthy of note is that a hockey mask by itself is never particularly scary. If you see one one the shelf in SportMart or in an NHL game, you might think, "That's cool. Jason!" but you're unlikely to be frightened by it. Put it on a 6'6" mongoloid maniac with an axe and it's a whole different thing. Even the Shape mask is just a bland piece of rubber with fake hair when it's hanging on a peg at the HalloweenTown outlet store. But look out your bedroom window and see a guy in blue overalls wearing it and staring up at you, and it takes on a whole new dimension.
what do you assholes expect??
its not gonne be a different mask!
Im gonna admit, it was a lil bit to much hype for it to be exactly the same!
to bad this fuckin post production takes forever!
It comes out next year!!!!!!!!
awesome pic of the mask! i am so ready for this film! keep up the awesome news! ya it does kinda look the same from the third, but i dont care i am a huge bif fan of friday the thirteenth i dont care what the mask looks like. i so want this film to come out!
I like it... However i still think the Jason X Hockey Mask is the best in the series thanks to its shorter nose and slightly different shape. Good to see they're respecting the source material though!
Well i'm feeling dis mask. It's a quick flashing memory of the 3rd installment. I just wonder what the killing scenes look like,but i'm not gonna rush like i did Halloween. So i'll TRY to be patient. I know for a fact dis would be a great movie to end my last year in highschool. 09!!!!
you guys never learn... i'll check back in a few months to read how shitty another remake turned out to be. Nobody's offering BD oral in return for a glimpse of the machete? heheh
I think the new mask looks great but doesn't make sence. If this movie is suppose to me a combo of at least the first 3 then the mask would be new not all old looking. Only way it could work is if they explain the old look like Rob Zombie did in Halloween.
"Mmmm, like part 3 the hockey mask looks"---Master Yoda. A dirtier version of Shelly's mask in 3, right before Ms.Kimmell cracks em' in the cranium with the ol'axe. The chick that played Vera was an ultra-sexy gal in that one. She's the one that got a spear in the eye. What a waste. Keep the lights out & the screams guttural. "I found this today, there were other parts of the body"---Friday the 13th part III.
Not to get picky, but the only masks that ever looked like the ptIII one were the IV & V masks (they're from the same mold). While this mask looks good, it looks like a bad interpretation of the ptIII mask, kinda like the masks on the Sideshow figures or the old Screamin' model kit. If you want to see the old one, just look at my avatar.
Ah, thank you Mr. Voorhees213. I'm a better person now, having been set straight by your infinite wisdom. I just meant at first glance, that's what the mask looked like to me. The red decals on the face, ect. I never really liked the "Part 5" mask anyway. I didn't care for the goofy hockey-stache markings. But, overall I liked part5. I'll give it credit for having a different storyline. The "outhouse" kill scene was one of my favs. The other was probably "Junior" gettin' decapitated. Just to shut him up. He was gettin' annoying with his little tantrum after Tommy stomped his ass into oblivion. No hard feelings voorhees213. We're still brothers in gore!!! "We've got one barrel on him, so we'll stay out here till' we find him again"----Jaws.
