With Platinum Dunes' The Hitcher hitting theaters in two weeks, interviews with Producers Brad Fuller and Andrew Form have been ripping up the internet at every outlet you can imagine. But even with The Hitcher on the way, no one can resist chatting up on their Friday the 13th remake, which is now aiming at a late 2008 release. Although most of the news is pretty much the same, CHUD scored something that no one else seemed to mention, read on for the skinny.
Devin over at CHUD informed us of an interesting discovery he made during his interview with Brad Fuller and Andrew Form... ready for this one... the FRIDAY THE 13TH remake might see the return of Tommy Jarvis, which was played by Corey Feldman in the prior FRIDAY THE 13TH films.
Here's a portion of the interview:
Fuller says that the film won’t be The Best of Jason Voorhees, but they’re free to pick and choose elements that they like the best. And their Jason will wear the hockey mask, even though he first got it in the third film. Form told me, “I think there are moments we want to address, like how does the hockey mask happen. It’ll happen differently in our movie than in the third one. Where is Jason from, why do these killings happen, and what is Crystal Lake?”
And then Bradley Fuller dropped the bomb on me: “And how does Tommy Jarvis fit in?”
In addition to this monster bombshell, there was a little talks about something that I think is extremely important to the franchise... is Jason supernatural? Here's what Fuller tells CHUD:
"We talk about that for hours on end. How do you do that and not make it seem cheesy? If you don’t do that well, they’re not along for the ride of the movie. In some ways, you’re better off not addressing it – which I don’t think we’re going to do – or you come up with a writer and a group of people who sit in a room and come up with an idea so brilliant that it works, and that’s what we’re striving to do. Every discussion about this movie – you talk about the kills, you talk about the hot chicks, you talk about the nudity, you talk about Crystal Lake – but at the end of the day, the question is, ‘Is there a supernatural element to this movie?’ Is Jason a demon? I think you can’t figure out any of the other things until you figure that out."
