Friday the 13th Remake Part II?

[MastahShredder]

A new Friday the 13th film is indeed coming. And Paramount has confirmed this by locking in a release date of March 13, 2015. Yes, that’s a Friday the 13th. (The 13th also falls on a Friday in February and November of that year.) And no, an official title has not been revealed (will it be Friday the 13th 2? Friday the 13th: Part 2? Friday the 13 with some sub-title attached?) We learned in June that Warner Bros. relinquished the rights to the franchise and gave them back to Paramount. The studio had five years to get a new entry in theaters before those rights reverted back to WB. There are no further details other than that. We know Platinum Dunes will be producing the film. But there is no director and there are rumblings of the producers looking for a “found footage” approach.

Friday the 13th: Jason goes to Hell... Again.

[Slap-Happy]

Brad Fuller recently said in an interview that they're looking for a good direction to go, and that they might not even use Jason.

They WILL, of course, but it's interesting.

He also said Mears is their guy if so. I HATE Kane Hodder's Jason's.

Ted White, Richard Brooker, Mears are my top three.

I wouldn't be shocked if they went with a winter route. Campers have to fight through the elements AND Jason.

[Candy Kappa]

As long as the movie will have some actual horror elements, like characters you don't want to die in gruesome ways, suspense and the right mood.

But then there's that swearword "found footage"...

[Candy Kappa]

There are some good found footage movies, I think a Friday the 13th could have pulled it off, not that I think Platinum Dunes would do a good movie of that kind.

[MastahShredder]

Do you guys prefer zombie Jason or Rambo Jason?

[AT-Man]

In the new movies I'd prefer Rambo Jason.

[Cure]

Found footage sounds alright to me.

[Leo656]

I kind of have mixed feelings on found footage-style movies in general - like some, others less - but for this franchise it would be something new, so I could see that working pretty well.

I'm actually kind of surprised it took so long to get another sequel. Although I guess with so many horror remakes coming out so close together back then, they wanted to give it some time to cool off. Makes sense.

[MastahShredder]

If they really wanted to cause an uproar among the diehards they should have Jason arrested and in the trial they show the found footage.

[Candy Kappa]

And after he's executed, or dies in the mental hospital he rise back as zombie Jason from the grave. Doing mummy's work forever.

[MastahShredder]

It'd still be better then Jason X.

I don't like the idea of the whole film being found footage but maybe the opening scene or the end I think would be alright.

Re-watching The Final Chapter, Jason was so menacing. Ted White did an amazing job.
