Friday Part VI: Jason Lives had a lot of comedy and self-referential humor but for the mostpart it worked. I think it's the most balanced Friday the 13th movie to date and my favorite of the series.

Jason Lives is my favorite of the series too. It's actually the best story of the movies and can rely on that without the need for boobies and gore (which I love) but it's nice to have one with a good story.

Seeing Jason punching a hole in Arnold Horshack was worth the price of admission. ;)
 
I just recently watched Jason X and thought he looked ******ed with hair.

I liked his Jason X pre-cyborg look. I'm not that big a fan of the Goes to Hell look.

I think we can all agree that his Takes Manhattan un-masked face is the worst in the series.

I thought Tommy Jarvis (the adult version) really put Jason Lives over the top of the others. He reminded me a lot of a Dr. Loomis kind of character the Friday franchise was always missing. Thom Matthews really did a good job with the character. Too bad he never returned for any sequels.
 
Jason just didn't seem as big and hulking in Jason Lives as he did in the other films, although it is by far the most well made of the series.

I know, I loved the whole Tommy arch and am sad it never came back so that Jason could get his ultimate revenge and we could get some good arch rival films. Part 4 and Part 6 are the best linear films in the series. (We'll just forget about Part 5)
 
My brother just told me recently that Part 5 is about a copy cat killer. But besides that is there atleast any good killings? Is that the same one about the guy chopping wood with an axe then cuts down that fat dude eating the candy bar?

I've always said Part 5 works more as a comedy because some of the characters (Ethel and her dumb kid, the greasers, Billy) are over the top and unintentionally hilarious. It's a great movie to watch with friends and just ridicule it to death. The kills either look ridiculous (flare in the mouth) or have no creativity whatsoever.

The typical Part 5 kill goes like this....

Victim is walking or standing or whatever, cut to hand holding a weapon in the air, cut to victim's dumbass (and often comical) expression, cut back to weapon swinging (with comical overexaggerated sound effect) and that's a wrap. When Billy gets an axe to the head he has the funniest expression ever in a Friday film.
 
Sounds really intersting! That's for sure.
 
are we gonna get pics of Jason soon? it's not like his look is a secret, right?

Not entirely, but I'm sure they've updated the mask with a change here or there. Teaser shouldn't be that far off... we'll likely see him there.
 
Well the wrapping of the film is set for june 13th. which is fridat the 13th.

So maybe expect something around halloween or so in the form of either a teaser poster or trailer.

"I don't want to scare anyone, but I'm gonna give it to you straight about Jason..."

Spiderweb-like fissures creep across a plate of smudged glass. The results of an actor's face being repeatedly smashed against it with brute force. The guy's a circular peg and someone is trying to mash him into a square hole with enraged vigor. Finally, the window yields to this remorseless assault and caves inward, glass raining down onto the lens of the 35mm camera positioned below it. Said face - chiseled, handsome - grimaces in surprise and pain. Our focus hones in beyond the window frame this well-paid actor (who will remain unidentified for now) just got forced through, past his bruised mug and to his assaulter.

Jason Voorhees.

"Cut!" bellows Marcus Nispel (The Texas Chainsaw Massacre) in his distinctive German accent. He rushes over to video village to watch this take once more. Studies it. Likes what he sees, but he commands another go at it with little hesitation, "Do it again!" Three more takes follow of Jason smashing his victim's face through the weathered, upended vehicle he perched upon. Pound. Smash. Cut. Reset. Pound. Smash. Cut. Reset. Take one looks like it stung. By take four, we almost feel for the actor on the receiving end of Jason's fury. Almost. Because that hockey mask-covered mama's boy is undoubtedly back and we love watching him do that thing he does so well.

Nispel is the mustached captain of this fearsome U-Boat called Friday the 13thhttp://www.shocktillyoudrop.com/films.php?id=1490, Platinum Dunes' reboot of the franchise created by Sean Cunningham in 1980. Nearing the end of principal photography, this vessel is still coasting through choppy waters teeming with biting, vocal opinions from a fanbase that has swelled over two decades. They've watched Jason get dragged to hell, soar into space and take the backseat in a "versus" film featuring Freddy Krueger. And they've been patient, watching Platinum's production with skeptical eyes.

Jason X marked the slasher icon's last solo outing, his second whimper without the Friday the 13th moniker due to rights issues since the character leapt sides from Paramount to New Line. And it was rights issues that inevitably held up Platinum Dunes' film for months since producers Brad Fuller, Andrew Form and Michael Bay announced their intentions in 2006 to give the franchise an overhaul as they had done to The Texas Chainsaw Massacre. That is, until there was a break in the storm clouds looming over Crystal Lake. In late '07, Platinum, Paramount and New Line agreed to cooperate and Mark Swift and Damian Shannon - the team awarded the writing duties on Freddy vs. Jason, another long-gestating project - sold Platinum Dunes on their idea and were ushered in to hammer out a script before the WGA strike.

"We were looking for a story - for lack of a better word - that was really fun," Fuller explains to ShockTillYouDrop.com at the outset of another night's-worth of shooting on the Austin, Texas location (substituting for New Jersey). "We felt a lot of the horror movies, including our own, were so dreary that we wanted to take a step away from that and bring in the horror, which you have to have, and bring in some great characters and funny, amusing situations. Out of all the writers we met with [Mark and Damian] were the only ones that had a handle on that portion of the movie. But the kids you go on this journey with are so fun and are a blast to be around."

Lining up for the slaughter: Amanda Righetti (Return to House on Haunted Hill), Danielle Panabaker (Mr. Brooks), Travis Van Winkle (Asylum) and Aaron Yoo (Disturbia) amongst others. On the leading man tip, Supernatural's Jared Padalecki (also of House of Wax) drops the Winchester surname to play Clay, a knife-totin', motorcycle-riding fella searching for his sister who has gone missing in the Crystal Lake area.

Elsewhere, Padalecki's Supernatural co-star, Jensen Ackles, is off breaking hearts with Harry Warden in Lionsgate's My Bloody Valentine remake. Padalecki, sitting by our side watching video playback with the producers, recognizes he's got the better end of the deal. "Jensen's in Pennsylvania now. I totally get the cooler bad guy [to fight]. He's doing 3-D so all of his imperfections will be hard to ignore," he laughs, joking. "All of his imperfections, I don't want to sound like... I'm saying if I was in 3-D I'd be much more worried, but here I am on a flat screen, I get to hide easy."

Evasion is a tough thing to come by on a Friday the 13th film, especially with a new man behind the hockey mask whose one lean mofo and familiar with body count entertainment. Much to chagrin of some fans, Jason staple Kane Hodder is not returning, in fact, he was never considered. Instead, the astonishingly polite Derek Mears (The Hills Have Eyes 2) is donning the Jason duds including his "bag head" visage, just one of the many nods Shannon and Swift make to Friday installments 1 - 3.

"On this one, we're basically taking it and starting it over and integrating things," explains Fuller. Form continues, "This one was hard, because on Texas Chainsaw Massacre it was a reboot of the original. On this one, everyone knows Jason didn't put on the mask until the third movie. I would say that most of the audience that will come see this movie doesn't know that, so most people think Jason was in the first one, most people we've talked to, the younger audience."

"We tried to take elements from all three [of the first] movies to create one reboot of Friday the 13thhttp://www.shocktillyoudrop.com/films.php?id=1490," he continues. "You will see Jason put on the hockey mask for the first time, how and why. And you'll see him actually do it. Not just come out with it on."

Form and Fuller insist their Friday is not an origin story and it was never their goal to present one. "The goal is to put a group of kids in Crystal Lake and have them meet Jason Voorhees and along the way you get a sense of the history," says Fuller. Also imperative, that the film look great. Assisting with that task is cinematographer Daniel Pearl (of The Texas Chainsaw Massacre - the original and remake) lurches uphill and our way to discuss with Form and Fuller the next few set-ups covering Jason's mayhem.

Behind him, Mears - with the help of makeup FX artist Scott Stoddard - is removing his hockey mask. Big ol' devilish schoolboy grin on his face. The actor he's put through a window takes a well-deserved break. And we continue to beam in delight, like kids at a KISS concert, because we've still got so much to share from the set.

Friday the 13thhttp://www.shocktillyoudrop.com/films.php?id=1490 opens in theaters on Friday, February 13, 2009. Keep it here for a full set report and more interviews soon.

Cast & Crew Talk Earliest 'Friday the 13th' & Jason Voorhees Memories!

Lay down, relax, close your eyes and take yourself to a peaceful place in the woods, a place where a killer name Jason Voorhees resides. Reach way back into your mind and find that special memory - the memory that defines who you are as a horror fan and why you love the [/COLOR] Friday the 13th(exclusive set visit previewfranchise so much. We asked the cast and the crew of the upcoming remake to tell us about their earliest Jason/FRIDAY memories, all of which can be found by reading on. Then proceed to share your own stories!

POST YOUR FIRST MEMORIES OF JASON VOORHEES AND FRIDAY THE 13TH HERE

A few weeks back I was lucky enough to be the first press member to visit the set of FRIDAY THE 13TH, Platinum Dunes’ remake hitting theaters February 13, 2009. While I was chatting with the cast and crew on a brutal night shoot, one theme continued to show it’s head - everyone has a special place in their heart for the franchise, and it’s leading man Jason Voorhees.

Derek Mears is the latest to play Jason in the twelve entry in the nearly 30-year-old franchise, and when he was a child he used to have nightmares from watching the films that he shouldn’t be watching.

“I’m probably dating myself (laughs), but my earliest memory is when you first were able to rent VHS’. We rented a VCR [and] I was like, ‘Holy crap! You can watch movies at home! It’s like the future, we’re CRAZY!’ I forget how old I was, but I got to choose two films, and they were FRIDAY THE 13TH part one and part two. I went home and I’m watching it and I’m like, ‘I’m not supposed to be watching this, I don’t think I’m old enough for this. Oh my God, this is so crazy.’ I was scared to death and just had so many nightmares after that. I remember going camping and I was in my cabin and having dreams like Jason coming up to the window and breathing all heavy.”

One reason for fans to be excited about the return of FRIDAY THE 13TH is that it’s in good hands, very good hands. Co-writers Damian Shannon and Mark Swift are hardcore fans of the franchise and have put their hear and soul into making this everything they remember it to be.

“I remember when I saw FRIDAY THE 13TH for the first time. I think I was 11 or 12 years old and I was at my friend Rob’s house and we were watching it on video,” Shannon explains. “It terrified me, I had never seen a movie like that! I was actually too young to see that movie and should not have been watching the sex scenes, and the violence.”

“Yes, you should have…” Swift jokes.

Shannon continues, “But the biggest thing, like everybody that remembers this film, was that ending. Where he [Jason Voorhees] jumps out of the lake and pulls that girl down…” The end result? “I squirted in my pants.”

Swift had a similar experience to Shannon, but his stemmed from the old-school bootlegging that helped turn these films into legend.

“I remember - it’s similar to Damian - is passing it around… when everyone had that sort of bootleg tape when we were just children. And as you get older, you see the movies… and I don’t know, he [Jason Voorhees] was just always one of my favorites.”

Platinum Dunes producer Brad Fuller sits in the same boat as he remembers watching them on VHS and being scared *****less.

“I grew up in the ‘70s and the ‘80s, so with my friends, we would all go to either see these movies or get them on VHS,” Full tells Bloody-Disgusting. “I was too young to go out and drink or smoke when I watched them, but I just remember being terrified because it could happen to anybody.”

Full also explains that he used to go to camp where there was a massive lake and it would bring instant thoughts of the iconic character.

“Unbearably, at least where I grew up, everyone went to camp and there was always a lake, seeing someone with a hockey mask running around is pretty incongruent for that type of setting. It just always freaked me out. I always wanted to be a part of Jason Voorhees, however I did it, that character is just so iconic and just to have the opportunity to work with it, it’s a privilege.”

Not everyone grew up watching these films, Danielle Panabaker – who plays Jenna in the film – grew up in a very conservative family. She has a little catching up to do…

“I grew up in a very conservative family, very sheltered. So, to this day I’ve probably seen very few rated R movies,” she continues, “horror movies were never really up high on my list. Actually when I got the offer I had to run home and I had to buy the DVD and I had my boyfriend come over and watch it with me and I made sure it was light outside because I knew it was going to be scary. I have the second one in my trailer to watch.”

Out of the entire cast, star Jared Padalecki – who plays Clay in the film - was the most enthusiastic about the franchise and sounded like it was a badge of honor to take on the infamous Jason Voorhees.

“I have a buddy named Eric, he lived near a park named Camanche Park. This is my earliest vivid memory, I know I had watched it before, but I must have been 10 years old and I was over at his house and we were having a sleepover. And he was like ‘Hey lets go into Camanche Park.’ And I was like ‘Alright.’ We were trying to scare each other going through and to scare each other we were going ‘Kill, Kill. Kill, Ma, Ma, Ma.’ I remember that very, very, very vividly that must have been at least 15 years ago.”

Julianna Guill, who plays Bree, was also very animated when asked about her earliest Jason memory. Unlike the other stories, Julianna’s older sister and her friend tormented her to tears!

“You know what? I have an older sister and she played a joke on me and my friend Caroline when I was in the sixth grade. She scared us so badly that I’ve never been so terrified. That was my earliest memory of the mask; this thing that we all recognize and we all know that hockey mask. I saw it in the window and I started balling, crying [and] then we ran and hid in the kitchen, under the table,” she continues. “My sister was with us so we thought she was the only person there, but it was her friend. It was so cruel.”

But this is just the beginning of all of the great stories! If you check out THIS THREAD you can not only read B-D member’s earliest memories, but you can share your own! It’s time to reach deep down and pull out all of those great stories!
