Friday The 13th Remake Non-News

Friday The 13th Remake Non-News

For some reason, today it’s being reported by Shocktillyoudrop that the upcoming, new Friday the 13th movie is not a remake of the original. I’m calling this non-news and saying “for some reason” because I said here on Screen Rant almost 2 months ago that this new version was not a remake of the original 1980 film.

Everyone else was calling it a remake when the project was announced, but no one seemed to remember that Jason Voorhees, the hockey mask wearing villain of the series didn’t even appear in the first film, except as a child in a flashback scene. His mother was the killer in the first movie.

Friday The 13th Remake: Unlucky For Us?

Friday The 13th Remake: Unlucky For Us?

Marcus Nispel is in final negotiations to direct the Platinum Dunes remake of Friday The 13th.

So who is Marcus Nispel? Nispel has directed dozens of music videos as well as being the man behind the megaphone on features The Texas Chainsaw Massacre (the remake, not the original) and Pathfinder (again, the remake not the original).

The news will probably have fanboys across the net up in arms, but let’s be honest, his remake of Chainsaw was much better than anybody had anticipated. It’s far from great, but compared to the horror remakes of the last few years, it looks like Citizen Kane. On the other hand Pathfinder took a brutal beating both at the box office and by critics, earning less than it’s production cost even including overseas box office and garnering a 12% positive rating over at Rotten Tomatoes.

Friday The 13th Part 2 Remake Moving Forward

What could be more appropriate now that we’re in October than horror movie news?

And yes, that’s right, I said a remake of the second, not the first, Friday the 13th movie.

New Line studio has put writers Damian Shannon and Mark Swift on the job. These are the same guys who wrote the entertaining, if not definitive in conclusion Freddy vs Jason movie.

Everyone else is calling this a remake of the original film, but it’s not.
