'Friday the 13th' Gets Restored, Uncut DVD Release?!

This past weekend Fridaythe13thfilms attended "The Scare Fest” in Lexington, KY, where they discovered some fantastic news from a Paramount Home Entertainment rep who was on hand. "A representative of Paramount stated that the upcoming release of FRIDAY THE 13TH on DVD would be fully restored and uncut including the extended sequences! Extended cuts already exist in Japan and a few other countries. But this will be the first time this footage has ever been released on DVD and restored." No word yet on what will happen with the other films, but we've got our fingers crossed Paramount will show us some f*cking respect.

EscapeToTheWoods, if it's going to be restored and uncut, who gives a shit if it's just a marketing tool?

It was released in Europe in its uncut and remastered form. If only they had done the same with the rest of the series...

Didn't Paramount promise this before the first Friday DVD box was released?

Finally, my dreams have all come true. I concur with NixEclips, The New Blood needs more blood for sure. "I'll catch this bird for ya', & it ain't gonna be easy, bad fish"-----Quint.

I'm still waiting for the blu ray uncut box set of the series. But i know i'll die of old age before that happens, so i'll get this.

I've already got the Warner Bros. UK disc which looks pretty good and has some nice extras, but I might be tempted if they release it on Blu-ray... FINAL CHAPTER would be nice, too...

This was long overdue. Bring it on!

They need to release Part 3 in 3-D. Bootlegs for alternating field (LCD shutter systems) sell constantly on eBay, and a real one would go over even better because it wouldn't be an nth generation bootleg. If I were Paramount, I'd digitize 3 and get it out on digital 3-D screens for Halloween. You haven't seen it if you haven't seen it in 3-D, and it'd cost them about nothing to do a digital theatrical release.

Seen the uncut version on a bootleg. Pretty sweet. The part I remember best is the Bacon scene getting a couple of extra seconds. Didn't BD recently break the news that a whole new DVD set will be released with all the gory goodness?

Is Paramount finally showing some cojones?

I hope it's true and if it is, I'll be more than happy to double dip and pick it up.
