the fact that jason walks around with his weapons at his waistband, and has traps all over crystal lake, and uses people as bait, ive lost faith that this company knows what its doing. they try so damn hard to put rationale thought behind the originals they remake that they come up with stupid ideas. seriously its like a cross between rambo and wrong turn, jason never did ANY of those things, now he is just your demented serial killer rather than a monster.

jasonlives1986, if you think that's bad, wait until you find out (if you haven't read the spoilers death list over on IMDB) a # of the ways Jason kills some vics. at least 2 of the methods is something he has NEVER...EVER done before (and not in a good or creative way). 1 of the deaths i'm referring to, at least on paper, is SO not in Jason's character (and lame sounding) that i'm perplexed by it. oh and what does Amanda mean by "ADR"?

Rumors and gossips and guess work, OH MY! How about we keep our panties on and freak out about the movie AFTER seeing it? That way all the crying can at least be over facts and not pure speculation. Please?

That wasn't that big of a spoiler. I am so stoked for this movie. Be open minded everyone, don't compare it too much to the originals!

well i am optimistic....i think this movie is gonna be bad ass....not yeahhh not much of a spoiler...

Does anyone want a shot for shot remake of any of the original films? Hell no! This is a new take on old material with a new cast, new writers and a new director- of course there'll be new kills, and yes, maybe even a fucking toolbelt.

ADR is voice-over work done for missing and/or inaudible portions of audio in the film that the boom mic didn't quite pick up. Perhaps the boom mic has a mind of its own and didn't want to listen to this lame claptrap in progress.

Where is this list of kills on IMDB? Can't find em' nowhere

I'm not sure what's worse... outright haters who bash the film just to be douchebags, or fans who get themselves worked into a snit over what they THINK they know about it and decide months before its release that it won't live up to their expectations. I suppose, in the end, both are just as bad (That's right, handwringers - You're no better than the haters!). The spoken anxieties of the latter only feed the sarcastic venom of the former, and vice versa. Thankfully, the vast majority of fans and horror viewers take the more rational approach of >gasp< waiting to see the movie itself before passing judgement. I'm stoked to see the movie too, and spend considerable time wondering/speculating how it will turn out. Fortunately for both my sanity and my eventual viewing experience, I don't reflexively and irrationally assume the worst at every turn.

Oh what the hell. I'll be there with popcorn in hand, & be happy to see a Friday film on the big screen again. "Tommy, please let's get out of here, my heart can't take any more of this"----Friday the 13th part VI.

sounds completly different to the original stating to agree with the first comment seems like another sequel than a remake now

mr. d is the one who linked us all to a review of a film that he CONFIRMED as legit, so go away if your playing that card. its not about being a shot for shot remake, its about respecting the source material. these writers had a list of do's and donts when they wrote F v J cause they knew what a Friday movie needed and didnt, they obviously got this job because they agreed to help platinum put there own take on it, it certainly doesnt make it right or better.

ziltoid the omniscient, thanx for explain ADR for me/us! i had no idea. :)

GI.DAN here's a link to the DEATH LIST: http://www.imdb.com/title/tt0758746/board/reply/12 0406750

jasonlives1986, you're an idiot. The fact that Jason uses traps, carries weapons around his waist and uses people as bait is a great concept. And this is a fucking reboot. Now I don't know how well these things will work in the film, but I support them in theory since slashers usually don't do such things.

And how does that make me an idiot because you like one concept that I do not? If those are the things you like in a movie, there is this franchise out called Rambo, check it out, good luck. Your a complete moron if you think Jason does those things, the fact that they changed it is a misguided direction, much like making Michael Myers 7 feet tall in Halloween remake. Go away

Jason using traps is lifted from Crospy from The Burning. Cropsy was the Jason Jason wishes he could be and this reimage emulates Crospys nature. He kidnaps that Amanda chick cause she looks like his mom. One of the kill off's find a hockey mask in a locker, and jason kills him and gets the mask. Jason takes an axe to the face, his body is dumped in the river along wiht his mothers locket which he forced amadas character to wear. He pops out from under the docks at the end and pulls Clays character into the water, or some shit like that. And a body is tossed through a window. So purist will be happy about that. I like hpow he kills one of the teens by tossing them onto the back of a Towtruck rigging poles. You can see that in the trailer. I still hope the dunes fails in getting the nightmare franchise, but I guess I'm ok with this new friday.

Why don't they just call this jigsaws hatchet and be done with it.

You're an idiot because you're crying about the people behind this movie trying to do new things with Jason, which is the whole point of a reboot. If you want the fucker to just keep on doing the same shit over and over, I suggest YOU go watch all the previous Friday The 13th films. I haven't seen the film though and I don't know if those things will work out, but like I said... in theory I like that they're trying to have Jason do different stuff.

Thanks djblack1313!

my bad.... They snapped Jasons neck- Clay and the female survivor bitch Pull apart 6 Tommy Jarvis and rope/noose a length of chain around jason neck the other end is tossed into a wood chipper and it snags the chain and snaps Jason's neck. They toss his body into the lake along with the mask after this. Jasin koolaid man busts out from under the dock and he grabs the survivor bitch and pulls her under. PD Totally set this one up for one more sequel. What a tame death scene in contrast to the other films!!! Give the fans a left hook from nowhere PD give them an empire strikes back ending. Heres what you do chop half of jasons face off have his hands dig into his exposed brain and mouth after the other end of the face hits the ground. Doing what his mother did with her hands at the end of the original part one. Now theres no doubt that Jason is fucking dead! but heres where you fuck with the audiance, and you give this film an ending that sucker pucnes them in the gut and sets up one more sequel with out question. I mean hell you can really kill jason and shock the fans they know he's dead, and now heres how you fucking end it so everyone sits there with gapped open mouths of shock. You show us a halloween 2 like ending with the survivors driving away from the camp all fucked up over what happened. and from out of nowhere a body slams into the front winshiled of the car, the car flies off the road. It flips over, the survivor bitch flies out the front window. The survivor males head slams into the wheel his face is crushed in, he lets out a death gurgle- The girl slwy comes too her vision clears she's see the legs of her attacker she looks up. We focus on the face. The face looks eaxctly like jason did (we saw his face when it was chopped off) He pushes the face of his dead borther into her face smaering the blood and guts against the side of her head. IT jasons twin brother. She starts to mutter he drops his brothers body, he grabs her head by her hair the back wheels of the flip vehical are still spinning. He drags her to it. he lifte her up the camera zooms in on the wheel, and he slowly lowers her face into it, she lets out a deafening scream. Cut to black when the the sound of her face hitting the tire cuts in..... Much better than having him come back from a reworked part 6 chain hang scene. And doing a bullshit koolaifd man bust out. I have issues with wood being soft enough to left machettes come through them from underneath and above. You know what scenes I'm talking about. knifes going all the way through a head an impaling someone to somthing. Not possible! Please re shoot the ending with something like what I suggested. Dont go tame! Surprise the audiance!!!!

The one great thing about the original Friday The 13th films is that they had a sense of light-heartedness to them despite the bodycount pastiche; the characters were memorable and likeable, and the tone of the film always reflected the nature of its characters - fun and zippy. Platinum Dunes have yet to break free from the bleak hostility that permeates their films. I understand it's about a backwoods guy chopping up teens, and there's bound to be bloodshed, but PD's track record for focusing too much on the despair leads me to believe this will be an empty, depressing venture. Alot of the old kills had a hint of parody to them as well, which I liked. Crispin Glover getting killed with the one thing he's looking for, Vera getting shot through the eye because she thought Jason was Shelley, et al. I can foresee someone in this movie stumbling upon Jason and he brutally hacks him/her to pieces. I suppose that's fine if you're into that sort of thing, but a slasher film works more if there's an underlying hint of mordant humor behind the killings. Of course, this is just my humble opinion. I curse these remakes and such but I always end up seeing them anyway. I guess lambasting them is easier on me than getting my hopes up considering 99 out of 100 times, my lambasting was justified. We'll see, I guess.

So I dont know exactly what your point is, do you support reboots? Remakes? I do not, esspecially if there going to use the Friday the 13th name and characters, make there own story with it and than sell it to the very fans who don't know what there getting. Whatever.

jasonlives, so would you be into a FRIDAY sequel (i guess we're up to part 11 now?). just curious. ZILTOID i totally respect what you're saying but i always wondered if the lightheartedness or irony in the kills was intentional or not. i DO see what you mean about the heavy feeling i get when i watch the TCM remake (which i still think is good even though i can't stand R. Lee Ermey). it's a bleak, and depressing film (which i guess is the intent of the movie).

I think the whole point of a remake (I'm against them too) is to prove you can challenge the previous entry film while respecting the source material, and better still you can actually surprise long time fans by well doing something different. I think the ending for the remake is weak and predictable. I hate that the stabbing weapons can go through surfaces into the body above and below them like floor boards and wood planks on docks and an entire human head including the wall behind it. I was hoping for a little more realism with the violence in this remake. And you ending is predictable. Predictability is lame. I swear you need to hornor the fans and do something to jason that leaves no doubt that he's dead and then you drop his mom or an unknown siblin into the mix- We all know you want to make another one if this makes money. Grab the last two survivors and Derek Mears and film a real ending! Koolaid man is laughable and predictable.
