I wonder how they intend to make a prequel to Part I work and still have it draw in fans.

Is the prequel going to star a younger Pamela Voorhees sabotaging the camp during the attempted reopenings Enus (the truck driver) talked about during the first film?

Not likely, since nobody these days wants to see a Friday the 13th movie without Jason.

Will this prequel chronicle the days of Jason shortly after he "drowned" in Crystal Lake and washed ashore a few miles down stream? A story about Jason's "younger days" as a deformed hermit living in the woods could have potential...BUT Jason doesn't put on a hockey mask until the THIRD film. And will people be attracted to a Friday the 13th movie where Jason doesn't wear his trademark hockey mask? Doubtful.

But even if this DOES suck, I've got the Avatar comics to keep me busy (Jason vs Jason X should be coming out soon), and once their license of the franchise ends, Wildstorm is going to pick it up with a new mini series.

So there will be plenty of Jason in other mediums to keep me happy.
