Friday the 13th Sequel? Remake? Reboot? Shitfest? Confirmed!

Wetmovie1 gives us the news. Even he is trilled! Yeah!

So, it is confirmed—us Friday the 13th marks get out way. We have been hoping, and praying for this franchise to continue on. Some of us have even said, "Even if it is shitty, just give us a new one!" Well, our wishes have been granted; ask and ye shall receive.

Everyone knows my opinions on this, but I will reiterate. The "found footage" gimmick is so 1996; Friday the 13th is again putting on a spent condom line they did in the reboot/remake. The tired gimmick that the Texas Chainsaw Massacre remake used, Friday the 13th slopped up.

This is not new to the franchise, either. Way back in 1987, the franchise even stole an idea from itself when it essentially remade The Final Chapter with the shitfest The New Blood.

a) We do not need another "found footage" movie, PERIOD.

b) We do not need another fucking reboot! We had that with every fucking movie after Part IV!

I thought the franchise officially ran out of ideas with Jason Goes To Hell, Jason X and FvJ! I guess not.

I guess Paramount wants this movie to bomb to finally hammer the nails into the coffin of Jason Voorhees once and for all. The character is already the laughing stock of the horror genre.

Friday The 13th Part II (2010) not happening?

According to Horribid.com it looks to be just that and really this may be a bitter-sweet moment. It seems like this sequel would have been rushed to meet the Friday, August 13, 2010 that everyone wanted. As a fan of this franchise I'd rather wait 3-4 years for an acceptable movie than 1 year for something mediocre.

It really seems that a lot of fans are getting upset over this, but like I said- it may be for the best. Who really wants a rushed movie anyways? I also personally think that Platinum Dunes wants to see how the A Nightmare On Elm Street remake does. I think if that bombs they may be in a hurry to produce this to try and make up the losses. However, I don't think the ANOES remake will bomb, and in fact I think it's going to do very well.

This may also be the end of the Derek Mears era as Jason.

Friday The 13th 2010: My Wish List

So, with Friday The 13th 2009 being such a great success we are being (blessed) with another installment-- probably in 3-D and if the rumors are correct without Derek Mears. Although Brad Fuller has said Mears will indeed come back, you never know. A couple months back some rumors surfaced that the chode Tim Sylvia will be donning the mask for the sequel and I have to say that would be a fucking mistake. Not only does his body look out of shape and portly, but he just does not have the body of Jason Voorhees.

Another rumor floating around is that the opening sequence will take place in the Winter, which has been something a good amount of fans has wanted for some time now. I'm on the fence about it as long as it's done right, it may work. I mean, Camp Crystal Lake supposed to be in the Northeast USA, which is infamous for it's snow so it makes sense.

Friday The 13th Part II: August 13, 2010?

Looks like it is indeed coming!

New Line Cinema and Warner Bros. made it official today. Friday the 13th Part 2, a sequel to this year's Friday the 13th, is slated to hit on August 13, 2010.

Brad Fuller and Andrew Form tipped us off back in June right here, that if all goes according to plan, that was the date they were looking at. Fuller stresses to us, however, that the sequel still does not have a greenlight.

Damian Shannon and Mark Swift will return to write. And Derek Mears will absolutely be back to reprise his role as Jason Voorhees, contrary to the many wild rumors running around on the web.
