Some awesome news comes in via Dread Central this afternoon as they report that Paramount Home Entertainment is working on a brand spanking new box set for their FRIDAY THE 13TH films. Everyone knows the last release, which included FRIDAY THE 13TH through FRIDAY THE 13TH PART VIII: JASON TAKES MANHATTAN, was a piece of crap and carried barely any extra features and didn't even include the uncut versions of the films. Hopefully Paramount does us right with the new release (Blu-ray, please!) that is slated to hit stores around the same time as the remake -- Friday, February the 13th, 2009. Nothing has been confirmed yet.
You will never get any uncut film from Paramount, deal with it. And from what I heard, there were extras on some of these movies that were not on the stand-alone versions.
The 'old' set was cool and there was some cool bio stuff, but more extras are alwasy welcome. To see the polished uncut material will also be a nice touch.
I wish they would release UNRATED cuts. Although, if you look at Paramount's track record, they care less about the want of fans. All they are going to do is repackage it and re-release it. They have done this with a few of their popular releases.
I'm a hopeful for uncut films, but hellz no will I buy this with out uncut films, special features, or that stupid 2 movies per disc crap!. STFU paramount!, jk if you release uncut films at the least!

I think they should release it to standard DVD first then worry about Blu-ray later. All in all it would be awesome if this is going to be the uncut versions. I have the "Crystal Lake To Manhattan" boxset and I tought it was a good boxset maybe not the best but it was still good and plus you got a bonus disc that had tons of good special features for the movies. Anyways, I'll buy this if it is uncut! :)
it better come out on dvd and i have the old boxset too and i think it was alright. Not the greatest thing but hey its all the movies. i dont care for jason goes to hell or jason x
its no real suprise paramount are re-releasing the the orgiginal 8 again in time for the remake, theyd be mad not to. the R2 Friday 13th is a great disc with a nice documentary on there. lets hope they put some effort in to the other dvds

I should hope that this is released on Blu-ray because I do not intend to buy yet ANOTHER DVD of anything Friday the 13th (except the series). Of course, it should still be available on DVD for those who haven't gone Blu yet, but for those who have shouldn't have to buy another DVD of something being released AGAIN.
