Jason Voorhees' Return Brings Up Many Questions...

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."

LAME Normally, I would be 100% against bashing something before I've seen it.. However, the whole "Who, What, Where, Why" Remake Formula seems to be falling flat on the floor - AND IN MY OPINION, NEEDS TO STOP. NO, its Not Ground Breaking, And NO, No one Gives a F#%K! So whats the point? Another set of writers getting "WET" over the fact that they are gonna tell us something we didn't know.... the stuff they wrote into their half assed recreation of what is A. Already successful B. What Works. Yikes, I'm ranting..... :(

jason NEEDS to rise again. Can't wait to see this movie ot, i hope for 2008 and not 2009 as many say. We'll see avery brutal movie. I like the idea they can write without limits. And think, it's the fisrt time that paramount makes a deal with NL.

yeah Im wondering, if this is a "Friday the 13th" remake then why is jason really even in it. I mean we all know it was his mother in the first one. I love Jason, but it sounds like to me they just want to use the name to throw around and maybe make some extra cash. Not saying I wont go see it, but just another remake to add to the list.

It is absolutely ridiculous to make a remake of a movie so "down and out" i mean, what's scary anymore about a guy who doesn't even talk and wears a ski mask? People are all about audio these days and the dialogue is most important.We already seen that 1,000 times already!

Jason doesn't need to be scary. Get a director like Querotino (the guy who directed Kill Bill) and combine him with Jason and you get a well directed Killing spree of fun. What we need is to have the basic elements of Jason and give him some personality. Its fun to see Jason think and react to things and think for himself such as in the movie Jason X. Give him the knife and let him do some really interesting things in the movie. You could set the movie in a different setting such as in China slaughtering Communist officials...lol or how about the US army captures Jason and sends him off to Iraq to try to kill a bunch of Jihadist Terrorists, but instead he kills Terrorist and Marine alike....lol LOL

Okay. Sequel, not remake. Who cares where you think Jason comes from, or any other stupid questions you want to jack with. Secondly, if the people who made an even worse version of the Amityville Horror have to remake this movie, then here are a few tips.... You already hired the directer of Darkness Falls. Don't hire anyone else who dosn't have talent. For instance... Todd Farmer (Or anyone else involved in Jason X). I'm still not over that train wreck. I don't even know why I continue to watch New Line and company trash this series. Too many sucky people are involved in this already. They've been working on this for over a year and now we are looking at almost two more, and for what? I want to believe that it'll be good, but... I just don't know. It took New Line nine years to come up with Jason X. I'm laughing just thinking about that. 9 years! And that was the best they could do. And now with this one. we are looking at 3 years of talks and revisions and they havn't come up with nothing really good. The f***ing war will be over by the time they make this movie. I just want to see it and get it over with. I'm tired of waiting years on end in between sequels just to see New Line make a mockery of my favorite series. Part 8 sucked too, but at least Paramount didn't make us wait 500 years after part 7 to find that out.

This could be intresting. I love friday the 13th movies. An advanced story about jasons life would be great..

I like the in between story with the original & the Sequel...Friday the 13th & a half. Plus in that era early 80's, there was absolutely no cellphones, wireless, ect..nada, and thats the remotely scary situation that people today are electronically savvy. I would like to see where Jason learns his tactic, his skil & pupose of crystal lake. I would like to also see a final buzz on The Chainsaw Massacre since its directed by the same people. But tell a Hearty in between story & add a few elememnts like Tornado, Hardcore people that kick ass & more convincing depth to Thomas Hewitt and yes...Jason Vorhees too..

i think they should stop making friday the 13th movies jason is without a doudt my favorite killer but jason is a legend and i don't want new line to destroy jason more than they already have i want to remember jason as a legend look at freddy vs jason they made jason look like a pusy jason x sucked the paramount ones were the best

i think newline will do a better job on this movie then they have done on past jason movies! newline is the only life jason has left. paramount wont take the franchise back! so i would assume that this is going to be a great movie...i hope!
