I can't help but wonder if this remake will stick with the orginal plot from the first "Friday the 13th"? Because if you remember correctly, Jason didn't even appear in the first film until the final scene as boy who jumps out of water. And if they stick to the orginal story, then how hell can they market a "Friday the 13th" remake if Jason isn't even in it? He didn't even start wearing the hockey mask until 3/4 through "Friday the 13th Part 3"!! This movie should be interesting...

What a crap idea!! Why remake a film such as this when you can just pump out another sequel. I can understand (although I don't always agree) remaking old horror films that don't have sequels coming out every few years(e.g. Hills Have Eyes, The Hitcher, etc), but if they want to make more money of the franchise just make another sequel. Don't mess with the original.

Sorry to say MFCMK, but the remake trend is not ending anytime soon. Being that this is the case, like HALLOWEEN, another classic horror film is being remade/re-imagined,etc. I for one would be sorry to hear that Mrs. Voorhees will be absent. I loved the original which had no Jason in it (til the dream sequence at the end, which was an awesome scare). I liked the more real element of the story about a mother's revenge on the counselors who let her son Jason drown. No offense to big Jason fans, but I thought the whole idea of him coming back from the dead in all the sequels was corny fantasy like the Halloween sequels.

This film doesn't needed to be remade. What the fuck is wrong with people? Friday the 13th is a great slasher film on it's own, even without Jason. You all know His mum would kick his ass anyways :D

are u sure they said remake??? I've read on other sites that they wanna make a new one not what! I'm sure this duo will make a good job they are fans and they know and love the franchise.

Have Jason be human where he can get hurt,Make the characters likable before they get killed,Have Jason use all types of different weapons to kill his victims,Have the deaths be very gory,Show the camera angle where we only see Jason's hand and the weapon that is in it as he is gonna kill someone(but only for two or three of the kills),Don't have any off screen death scenes,Have the ch ch ch ha ha ha music,Have Jason be more slimmer and not so bulky,Have it take place at a camp,Have Jason fight a guy who puts up a good fight,Have it take place in the 80's(or have it set in the present but have the mountains block cell phones),Give Jason a good back story of why he is killing.


I am a HORROR movie!!!

FINALLY THINGS ARE MOVING ALONG!! But yeah, I want a dark Friday movie. Not a comedy/slasher. And I say they should include Pamela.

Treatment by Charles R Walsh Elisha's Voorhees was found stabbed to death in the old farm shed behind the Voorhees House by his longtime friend and coworker Henry Tibs. The wearabouts and health of his 13 year old Daughter Pamela Sue Voorhees are unknown at this time. ------------- A very sick and distraught Pamela would show up at the towns local hospital 7 months later in labor... She admitted to her fathers murder. She told the authorities and hospital psychologist that Elisha began molesting her shortly after her mother Doris died due to complications of ovarian cancer. She had spent the last 7 months living in the woods. She claimed that God made the baby inside her too heal and cleanse the world of sin. The baby is born with a strange head deformity half of his face is underdeveloped - Lab resuls proved that Jason is the Incestial offspring of Elisha's. Pamela became severly distraught and attacked the police and hospital staff when a charge nurse tried to move jason to the observation room. Pamela is locked up and her case is brought too trial. She is found mentally incapable of withstanding trail the charges are dropped and she is ordered to remain in a sanitarium until her mental state improves or changes.------------------------------------------------ Jason S. Voorhess is placed into the Foster Care system. On his 11th birthday, Jason is placed into a Catholic run Saint Vincent's Orphanage. He has only one friend- A girl named Alice Lehman. The rest of the residents- Orphans, and Juvenile Delinquents pick on Jason every waking moment of his life. There is a ringleader named Jake Constantine. ------------------------------------------------ Every Summer Saint Vincents takes the Children too Camp Crystal Lake for vacation. --------------------------------- Once there Jake discovers Jasons inability to swim, combined with fear of open water after he pushes Jason in off the dock.--------------------------------------------- The Saint Vincents staff paddled and belted Jake and the other kids who where around him when this incident occurred.------------------ Jake plans to get Jason back for this. -------------------------------------------- A few days later, late at night on Friday the 13th Jake and his cohorts sneak into Jasons cabin. Jake is wearing a Hockey mask to protect his identity. The rest of the gang are wearing pillow cases with eyeholes cut out. They beat Jason over the stomach with stones placed inside socks. Jasons screams are muffled by a pillow held over his face. ------They pull him from his bed, tie his hands together and cover his mouth in tape. They drag Jason to the ponds shore and place him on a sail boat. As they get out far into the lakes center Jason begins to panic. He breaks free of his bindings. Jasons lashes out at Jake. The commotion causes the boat to tip over.----------- Everyone falls into the water. Jasons is afraid, he can't swim. Jason frantically grabs at Jakes shoulders and face, trying too get hold, trying too stay a float. He pulls Jakes mask off, he grabs Jakes hair and both Jason and Jake disappear into the murky water. The remaining kids swim for shore screaming for help. The following morning The lake is dragged. Jason and Jake are never found.... ------------------------------------------------ -------- The following year the camp burns down. Arson is suspected but no suspects can be found.---------------------------- ----------------------- -- Several year pass... The camp is purchased and renewed- A group of 20 smoethings meet up with the new owner at the towns local dinner. He takes them out there to orientate them with the site, thier roles at the camp, a list of the remaining restoration work needed to finish it, and a large sum of money to get supplies, food, and booze. He tells them to live the next few days up- Cause when he comes back there will be loads of work to see through. ---------------The camp is expecting a group of foster kids with in the next couple of weeks... We all know what happens next. ---------------------------------------------------- ----------------------------- "Now here comes the "What If" It could end with Pamela being the killer but she wears a hockey mask, has a shaven head, and is extremely husky- After she was released she became her son. She started taking hormone pills and shaving her head to look similar."----------------------------- Unlike the original we see The Killer and it looks like Jasons, so we assume that it is in fact Jason. --------Pamela didn't reveal herself until the very end of part one, but we never saw the killer in part 1 until then- before this ist was shots of the shoes or the hand or the weapons, but never a full shot of the killer... Part 2 onward the killer is seen at some point. So thats how this trick is pulled.... But we can always just have it be Jason...At any rate thats my treatment I been pushing it all over the place, since this project was announced with slight changes made here and there....

No Need For a Remake Rob Zombie's Halloween Already Explore a Serial Killer Origins So what are they going to do with This ?

If the new movie is going to have an adult Jason,all I have to say is he better be played by Kane Hodder and not Ken Kirzinger who couldn't portray a good Jason if his life depended on it.Freddy vs. Jason was a good movie but would have been better with someone who knows Jason,who is the face of Jason played the part.

thephantomk is that legit? If so it is fucked up, they are doing the exact same thing as Zombie did with Halloween and it all sounds more like a prequel leading to a weak excuse for a Jason film than anything else. Pamela being husky cause of taking hormones?lolol

If the new movie is going to have an adult Jason, all I have to say is he better be played by Ken Kirzinger and not Kane Hodder who couldn't portray a good Jason if his life depended on it. I'd rather not have Jason look as bored, short, and tired as he did in Jason X.

Please, please, please make this a serious film. I am the biggest F13 fan in the world but I refuse to pay to see another POS like Jason X. Put Jason back in the woods. Put him at Crystal Lake. Show the Mrs. Voorhees stuff as a Camp Counselor telling a stories to the newbs. But most importantly, make it a serious horror film and it will kick ass at the box office.


CRFTony
11:07am, September 18, 2007

Oh, and make Jason human again. He was much more scary in 2-4. Zombie Jason is cool but he is not scary.

Just make the timeline matc up with Rob Zombies Halloween! Or at least start in the 80's and end in the 90's.

Jesus Christ! Please, stop it! F13 doesn't need a remake! Another sequel would do.

How about they show a camp with counselors as they are fixing up a run down camp to get it ready for the summer campers,and then have it show Mrs.Voorhees is in a general store gettinging supplies and her son Jason is loading the truck as Mrs.Voorhees is talking to the the clerk.__________The camera could show Jason's entire body,but his head could be kept in the shadows so we don't see his face.___________It could show other customers arriving at the store and we can see their reactions to Jason's face as they walk by him._____________Then after a couple of scenes at the camp show a truck parked on the side of the road as Mrs.Voorhees is seen changing the flat tire as a car comes around the corner a little too fast and the car smashes right into Mrs.Voorhees and her truck.________________The two passengers get out of their car to see if the person they crashed into is still alive.____________They need to get help,and then they see a road sign saying Camp Crystal is three miles away._______So one of the passengers decides to stay with the accident as the other passengers heads to Camp Crystal to get some help._________________The passenger who stayed behind is approached by a figure who then kills him.__________Then Jason heads to Camp Crystal to kill the other passenger,but when Jason gets to the camp Jason doesn't know which one the passenger is,so Jason kills everyone at the camp to make sure that he gets the passenger who killed his mom.

What the heck does the HALLOWEEN remake has to do with the FRIDAY THE 13TH remake? They are two completly diffrent things. And Rob Zombie isen't over this, so why are we even trying to compare these two remakes to one another?
