Two-Minutes With the New Jason Voorhees, Derek Mears!

While at the red carpet premiere for MY BLOODY VALENTINE 3D, we caught up with your new Jason Voorhees, Derek Mears, who chatted with us (briefly) about the reshoots, sex and violence in the film, along with the potential for a sequel. Read on for the skinny and check out Friday the 13th in theaters February 13, 2009.

Derek took some time at the red carpet premiere to address a few questions FRIDAY THE 13Th fans have been asking on B-D over the past few weeks. First he addressed the "reshoots" that took place a few weeks ago,

"We reshot two of the kills," Mears tells Bloody-Disgusting. "They were good before, but the producers decided to go back and give them a little extra TLC."

In a previous interview, Mears told us he was a pretty big fan of the franchise, when asked if he had seen the remake yet he replied, "UGH! NO. I have not seen the film yet. It's driving me crazy!"

As for sequel talk, there have been rumblings...

"I've heard rumors [about a sequel], but nothing official. I'm guessing it would all depend on how well this one does first."

But the most important question we asked was if the film will have more boobs, or more violence (and count each boob)...

"Ha! Boobs or Violence... (counts on fingers) Definitely more violence," he says with a sinister grin.

In Marcus Nispel's FRIDAY THE 13TH, searching for his missing sister, Clay heads up to the eerie woods of legendary Crystal Lake, where he stumbles on the creaky remains of rotting old cabins that lie in wait behind moss-covered trees. And that's not the only thing hiding under the brush. Against the advice of police and cautions from the locals, Clay pursues what few leads he has, with the help of a young woman he meets among a group of college kids up for an all-thrills weekend. But they are about to find much more than they bargained for. Little do they know, they've entered the domain of one of the most terrifying specters in American film history-the infamous killer who haunts Crystal Lake, armed with a razor-sharp machete... Jason Voorhees.

I think he is going to make a heck of a Jason, but time will tell who is the man Jason or Michael...Friday or Halloween? good match up if you ask me.

Sweet! They keep taunting us with these little tiny bits of Friday the 13th... can't wait much longer! At least I have The Unborn and My Bloody Valentine 3D to tide me over.

I would be intimidated to sit in the same room as Jason let alone talk to him I can only imagine if he was in full make up just sat there completely still staring at you just breathing

Jason's looking mighty slim in this movie. Must be on a diet of woodland creatures and river water.

I gotta say sack head J, look freaking sweet. I hope they keep him like that for a while. While it will be cool to see him wear the hockey mask, the sack gives him a much more raw backwoods serial killer look. I cant wait!!!

For the people that think "There has to be boobs for a horror film to be good" ::cough mr disgusting cough:: you should go play in traffic, Im not sure what fuck tard ever decided on that, but it has NOTHING to do with horror. Shit, get a girlfriend or wife or something, do you really need that kind of shit in the movies to get your damned jollies. The film would probably be better without that kind of shit, sexual content is nothing more than a gap filler. It's such a waste. I always thought suspense made a good film, odd... the violence does add to the effect as well.

Actually if you notice in every bad horror movie there hasn't actually been boobs, there's a girl slipping into a shower or laying on the bed after having sex but there has been but no actual boobs.

I am looking forward to this movie, and the new jason looks badass, but i still think it will be the same shit, i will laugh if they make this PG-13, for all the other shitty horror movies that were rated PG-13, but a jason movie needs to be R, Go R rated, but i think Michael myers is the best, it would be awesome if they did a teamup with Jason and Michael killing everybody

I'm excited for this. They got a cool Jason. A good set of filmmakers who love the series working on it. Plantinum Dunes seems to really care about what fans think. This all sounds so good that I hope they don't dissapoint.

The New Michael Myers (Rob Zombies version)looks way bigger than the new Jason. I picked Mick to win now when they meet on the big screen.

Mike. lol

I know this has been debated a million times before in a million other forums, but Zariff Peoples has hit on one of my favourite fanw*nks - Michael vs Jason. Given Rob Zombies 'realistic' (well, mostly, and let's see what the sequel brings) reinvention and what looks like the same intentions here - the idea of two BIG strong mad muthas going at it might now work, if only they stay away from the supernatural crap!
