I'd prefer this over the contrivance of found footage Jason.

"Okay everyone, if we all wear these GoPros and get some evidence tonight, the authorities will have to believe our story about our friend disappearing in the old abandoned mine, instead of brushing us off as sex and drug addled pranksters. Bee Tee Dubs, I'm totally downing this 40 and boning Janet as soon as we get separated from you wet blankets."

A found footage take could work, but you'd have to remove basically all the hallmarks of the series to make it happen, and I don't think that whoever is working on it is going to do that, so you're just going to end up with a shittier-looking Friday the 13th. Maybe even worse looking than Jason X*!

*not meant to be offensive to fans, but damn, that film had a budget of $2 and some pocket lint or something

The only one that I really don't like is Jason Goes to Hell. It came with the blu-ray collection so I watched it all the way through for the first time in years recently. It's basically a shitty Syfy channel original movie where Jason shows up for a few minutes. And it also features Jason's worst design (which is also unfortunately the cover of the collection).

Agreed, although I distinctly remember that the chick that got impaled in the tent was pretty hot. So it's got that. The opening with the SWAT team was pretty neat too.

That they are trying to get David Bruckner to direct, pretty much confirming the rumors that it is in fact going to be found footage.

Um, I dunno about that.

I mean I get that he did one of the VHS shorts but it's not like all he's ever done is found footage. They may like him because they liked the short (and he's probably cheap) but that shouldnt make the whole ff thing a lock.

That being said, I hope it is found footage.

I have no idea who he is or what VHS is, I was just saying that's what they're reporting.

I think it will be found footage just because they can make them so dirt cheap and audiences seem to dig them enough since it always seems like they double or triple their tiny budgets opening weekend.
 
I'm ready for this. Let's see how they will make a movie that won't be picked apart though for its casting choices or what the characters do in the film. Here's hoping they also don't start off as supernatural right away either. Bring that more tense/suspense tone back. What was scary about early Jason, as opposed to Michael Myers was he wouldn't be hiding anywhere. He'd be out in the open, chase after you, harpoon you through the eye, etc.
 
i don't think it has to be "found footage" to have the effect they seem to be going for.. just have realistic and gritty cinematography. i think that's one thing the texas chainsaw remake got right (the one with jessica biel)... the setpieces alone were pretty fucking creepy
 
I hope they stick with Derek Mears. That Jason is lean, mean and runs! Also dem neck muscles. Don't bring back super zombie Jason for atleast another 2 movies. And yep, totally love the idea of Jason going to the hood, prefer that to found footage, shaky cam bs.
 
Oh man no one wants to talk about michael bay producing the previous movie or directing it cause his name being tied to the movie means he's obviously directing it. Come on guys where's the explosion jokes and ruining the childhood. And his company is producing the new movie so come on he's obviously directing the new one. Come on guys explosions and shit and childhoods.

You know, I could get really anal about this and say that this would be true only if Sean S. Cunningham got them and was able to sell the rights at his own leisure, buuuuuuut I'll let it slide. :P

Nah, not really.

Marvel is the company where the character originated.
Paramount is the company where the character originated.

This is partially why people treating Marvel as if it's a person who created all these characters is problematic in those threads :)
 
At this point Jason must be fed up with the end of the week every time it reboots, slaughtering as many teens for the fun of it in 24hrs, because he is forced into an eternal groundhog day

I therefore recommend a readjusted name for the series reboot


Friday Vs Jason

You don't remember all those explosions in the first reboot?

# of explosions: 0

So like every single Friday the 13th film ever made?

There is nothing scary about any of them. They're cool but from film one they have been straight up slasher movies.

I'm not saying that I don't echo your sentiment. I totally do. I'm just saying there hasn't been a single scary one yet.

With the exception of Jason Goes to Hell and Jason X, they've all been "body-count with loud noises to make you jump" films. Some are certainly better made and conceived than others, but we're not talking about a series known for being anything more than that.

I'm not sure how:

Hopefully they make an actual SCARY Friday the 13th film and not just another dumb "body-count with loud noises to make you jump film". We all know it's going to be the latter tho.
Click to expand...

got so misinterpreted, but I was trying to say what you corrected me with. None of them have been scary and they've all been dumb jump scare slasher movies. I think the character and setting have real potential and I hope they actually take advantage of it for once.
 
While I'm with people who hate on Bay for letting crap like the TCM and ANoES remakes happen, I'm not exactly rushing to leap on a sword for Friday the 13th, since the reboot was at least about as good as the normal installment of the series.

They won't cast anyone! Found footage! We will only see blurry ass glimpses of Jason! Why bother getting a great Jason like Mears again, when you can pay any extra 30$, to shake in front of the camera for the last 20 seconds of the movie?

Time to go weep over my hock collection.
 
What happened with the Platinum Dunes one? Why not keep that continuity? It did rather well at the box office iirc.
 
Why doesn't he take manhattan now a days? It worked well the first time.

Except this time instead of Jason essentially killing some people, he will be ignored cause today's society of smart phones and texting and shit will have no time for such things, thus leaving Jason as a has been who cannot keep up with today's fast moving instagram/twitter world.
 
I'm all for more excuses to have Jason go around murdering people but a found footage movie... that's the lamest way to present a slasher.

I actually liked the recent reboot.

And I am so sick of the "found footage" fad that just won't die.

Yeah, the reboot as decent. Derek Mears was a great Jason and the story and characters were serviceable for the franchise. The only problem with the movie is that the first 20 minutes or so is the best part of the movie. Well, aside from some stupendous breasts with perfect nipple placement.

Juwanna Mann taking a dump haha. I thought that was the worst film too.

Haha, I actually kind of like 5. It's just so weird and so stupid.
