The Friday The 13th Movies Thread - Part 1

[Bats123]

We have one for Halloween why not Friday the 13th, which is my favourite horror franchise.

Anyway a minor update on the new movie, it's filming in the Spring apparently

Winter, guys. Put snow in there, where the campgrounds is converted to a ski resort during December.

There's been a Friday The 13th thread for years. It just gets buried under tons of new threads every once in a while. A quick search will bring it up pronto.

I still want the non-rated by the MPAA versions of these movies. Or even just the uncut scenes by themselves.

Me too. The deluxe DVDs have the cut/extended scenes included in the special features, so the footage still exists. And if they can include Kevin Bacon's extended death scene in Part 1, they aught to be able to add them in to the other movies too. But the footage does look like it had degraded, so it might no longer be possible.

Doubtful it'll ever happen. Last I checked a lot of that footage is either lost forever or it'd take an insurmountable amount of time to find it...time that probably won't be spent for said search.

Like, I'd love the alternate ending of part III where Jason bursts through the door & performs a decapitation, but all of that footage was lost. Same goes for pretty much anything else that ended up on the cutting room floor pre-New Line. Everything they've given us up to this point is all they have left.

I had no idea, didn't remember seeing one before but probably just forgot. Ah well no harm done now it's been resurrected.

Regarding the "starts filming in Spring" news- I'm not holding my breathe on this actually happening.

It's much the same with the Halloween film.

Tell you reasons I think it will happen, they have a director (I know they did before), they have their locations (this didn't happen before), a finished script and Paramount's deal on Friday the 13th runs out in 2018 so they have to make it in order to get something back from that deal.

 

[StarLord]

I forgot about the rights thing.

 

[BH/HHH]

I forgot about the rights thing.

They're idiots though they had a five year deal they could have pumped out 2 or 3 in that time and made some major doh! Seem they couldn't agree on a direction they wanted found footage, Fuller and PD didn't want to. So seems they waited it out until Paramount agreed and saw the fad die down.

Here's the interview with the producers, stuff listed in bullet points in the article:

Spoiler

- The movie is still happening
- It won’t be a sequel to the 2009 Friday the 13th reboot
- It will not be a found-footage movie
- It will not be titled Bride of Jason; so far it doesn’t have a title beyond Friday the 13th
- It will not be in 3D
- It is a period piece
- It will be R-rated
- There won’t be excessive exposition about Jason’s supernatural powers (alas, there was no confirmation of whether or not it’ll be an origin story, or dig into Jason’s family life and introduce his father for the first time)
- The production has scouted its location, a camp in Georgia next to a lake, for that old-school Long Night at Camp Blood feel
- Casting hasn’t started yet, but it will in December; filming will begin in the spring; the release date is (as of now) Friday, October 13, 2017
- The biggest challenge for screenwriter Aaron Guzikowski was coming up with a story that would please fans of the franchise, but also not alienate anyone who’d never seen a Friday movie before

I'm glad they're finally being smart about it; being a period piece helps because you know..tecnology. Hell, it's hard to do a Home Alone movies these days, so that's why slasher films are sorta suffering when you can tweet everything, and every jock now is an amateur MMA fighter.

 

[StarLord]

"Bride of Jason" was a rumoured title?! Never heard that one before.

 

[Octoberist]

Nope.

I think that was the article writers way of having a little fun

This bullet point always sort of annoys me. I always like to see new horror fans, but there's 11 Friday movie out there, 12 including Freddy vs. Jason. Surely most horror fans have heard of Jason, even not seeing one of the films. There's 12 to choose from though, so I kind of hate they always have to start over in a sense to please the current movie going public. If we were talking 70, 80 years on, I could get that, but they haven't even hit it being 40 yet.

 

[The Joker]

Not to mention if the franchise survived the likes of Jason X then its not such a huge worry to alienate anyone.

 

[Teelie]

The best part of that is it will not be found footage ********.

 

[Muze]

yes, came here to say the same thing.

 

[hitmanyr2k]

I've always held onto hope that they somehow get Tom McLoughlin back to direct again. He's still a fan of the franchise and did some work on the Friday the 13th videogame.

Some more news about the upcoming film, which starts filming mid-March for an October 2017 release. Platinum Dunes has hired Legacy Effects (originally Stan Winston Studios) to create the film's mask, props and special effects.

So this is actually happening.
