I love Jason, the part in eight when he punches that guys head off the top of the building is movie gold!!! You have to take it for what it is and enjoy it.

I’m glad that Nispel and his writers aren’t calling it a remake. It’s kind of showing us they have a real respect for the original Friday the 13th. Everyone knows that Jason’s mother was the villain and to call it a remake and changing the villain completely is ridiculous. Kudos to them and it seems like they are heading in the right direction for this movie.

As long as they get Kane Hodder back to play Jason, I’ll be a little more excited about this film.

How can this be a remake if Jason Vorhees appears at the beginning of the movie? As we all should know (spoilers ahead..haha) Jason’s mother was the killer in the 1st one. Why call it a remake if it doesn’t follow the same storyline of the first one? And seriously, so what if its just another entry into the series sandwiched between films two and four? With the exception of the first, didn’t these all follow the same formula…well other than the outer space one. This is an attempt to reboot a franchise. If they were to remake the 1st one, there’d be no surprise ending. There’s a valid description of the opening scene of the script online somewhere….check it out…it works.

Ohhh I love Lizards idea! Instead of the Friday re-vamp or re-imagining whatever The studio should do Splatterhouse instead and have it with a fast, vicious Jason look-a-like. Make it with lots of blood, guts, scary things and rate it NC-17 So everyone will want to see it.

I think what they mean is there’s so many remakes these day there’s different genres of remakes, like requels and do-overs and reconstructions but this one is a reimaging which is different than a revamp.

meh, I am a sucker for F13 films, so no matter what, I will give this movie a go. And because I am even a bigger sucker, I am sure it will find a spot in my DVD library.

I equate remakes with boredom now, so, fuck it. If they really wanted to reimagine anything, just make it a spoof and call it Splatterhouse. Give Jason a purple mask, and have him fight his way out of asylums with rooms that shake and dead rotting grandmothers dropping from the ceiling.

No it will not be a remake. Jason will not be slow and lumbering, but fast and vicious. Instead of craving brains he will be so filled with rage that he just tears up his…

oh wait a sec…
