Friday the 13th "Not a Remake"!

Platinum Dunes' Friday the 13th project. What do you lable it? Remake? Re-launch?

After speaking to a source close to the project who wishes to stay outside of the spotlight (for now), we're striking the former term out of future reports on the film.

"It's not a remake," says our insider. Don't even expect an origin tale - as some production listings around Hollywood are pegging it as. Imagine if there was a story to be told somewhere between parts two and four, just add water (from Camp Crystal Lake, duh), insert a leaner, meaner, faster Jason Voorhees, set to "blend" and you've got the recipe for what Dunes, writers Damian Shannon and Mark Swift and director Marcus Nispel got cookin'.

Friday The 13th: Remake or Sequal?


Not sure where the other post of this went, but here is the lastest update as printed in FANGORIA...


"We don't know exactly what it's going to be yet; it's definitely not going to be set after FREDDY VS. JASON or JASON X", Fuller tells Fango, addressing their film's place in the FRIDAY universe. "This was such a juicy title, we couldn't pass it up. So, we've been talking to Wheaton, and we're figuring it out.

Jason didn't really start killing until FRIDAY THE 13TH PART 2, so this isn't a remake of the first one - Jason's definitely going to be killing people in our movie. He didn't wear the hockey mask until the third film [pictured], and our Jason is definitely going to wear the mask - so this is how we're going about it right now.

"It feels to me like it's going to be a re-imagining of" Fuller pauses, trying to find the right word. "I didn't know if there is a term for it - it's going to be like what we did with TEXAS CHAINSAW MASSACRE, that's the best analogy I have. There are going to be things you recognize, but we will make it a distinctively different story. We're going to keep all of the things that are expected (of a FRIDAY THE 13TH film) in there".

Sounds fun!!!

Found some early set pictures to the movie remake of Friday The 13th. Just thought I'd share and feed some of your curiosity.

Thanks for those pics Grim. They look great.

As long as they stay true to what Jason really is then it should be good. I'll watch it regardless. Any horror fan should be excited about this movie. The full pic of Jason renewed my interest. Now we just gotta wait til February.

Really can't wait to see it next year! In case, if I hear the gossip from people saying that movie is no good or two thumbs down thing, you know, I will not pay any attention to them and I have to ignore them, so I must go see it period!
