Friday The 13th - The Remake (news)

[Killer-C]

no I would't say that, because there have been times in Friday history they've started filming and had cast changes.

Well if they started filming early that means they probably have most of the main charactors already and have plenty of time for changes

To clarify: they've begun shooting exterior scenes yesterday, like horizon shots and whatnot. They're not actually shooting any of the actors until the 21st.

I just hoped they don't do something stupid like they did with Jason X, show it somewhere let it get stolen and then everyone in America downloads it and know one goes to the theatre to see it.  Jason X was a really good movie in the f13 series but got no love because the studio messed up.

Yes the studio did mess up with Jason X, because they actually *made* it. Illegal downloads were hardly the reason people were not going to the theaters in droves to see this shi... *ahem* film.

Jason's new mask has been seen - no picture, though

Once again I can't go into much detail on what I saw, but let me just say that fans will be happy to know that Jason's hockey mask will not disappoint. It looks slighty different and it's very menacing. Platinum Dunes producer Brad Fuller tells us, "It's such an iconic mask that you don't want to mess with it too much."

Fuller also had a pretty hilarious story about the FX designer who had a little airport trouble. "The designer carries the mask from LA in a steel case, takes it to the airport. [Airport security] runs it through and it looks like a hockey mask - and they say 'Were going to have to take you in the back.' When they get in the back they ask him 'Is that Jason Voorhees' mask?!' They pretty much flipped out asking to take photos with it, which obviously they couldn't."

I wonder if Jason has that kind of trouble with airport security...

Ah I remember her as the Bajoran from DS9, she kinda cool for that part I guess.

Sorry I haven't been posting the news in the first post or on the website. It seems like I haven't really had a moment to myself. I'll fix it tomorrow.

Oh, and Nana's official website says Mrs. Voorhees gets decapitated very early in the film.

I don't think I've seen her in anything

[shaunford1982]

I hope they don't go all Rob Zombie with this movie.
