Friday The 13th - February 2009

Friday The 13th - February 2009

Jason Vorhees returns to the big screen in this Platinum Dunes remake that nixes the original's conceit that Mrs. Vorhees was the killer in order to give more screen time to her hockey-masked murderous son, who will once again haunt the cursed campgrounds of Crystal Lake. Freddy vs. Jason scribes Damian Shannon and Mark Swift penned the screenplay, with Pathfinder director Marcus Nispel handling the directing duties. Danielle Panabaker and small-screen star Jared Padalecki (Supernatural) head up the cast as the franchise's newest scream queen and an investigator looking into the deadly going-ons at Crystal Lake.
After the supposed death of her son at a summer camp, a mother begins to kill the camp employees. After her death at the hands of the remaining employees, her son returns to continue her bloody workThe original 1980 movie, directed by Sean S. Cunningham is widely acclaimed for its horrifying and creative murder sequences. The well known character of Jason Voorhees only had a small part in the film, but New Line Cinema's new Version is said to substantially expand on his character and backstory.

Terror and suspense abound in this 24-hour nightmare of blood. Camp Crystal Lake has been shuttered for over 20 years due to several vicious and unsolved murders. The camp's new owner and seven young counselors are readying the property for re-opening despite warnings of a "death curse" by local residents. The curse proves true on Friday the 13th as one by one each of the counselors is stalked by a violent killer.

Mentioned by Producers Bradley Fuller and Andrew Form in the article, this film is best described as a 'reboot' to the entire series of "Friday the 13th," primarily focusing on the first three films ("Friday the 13th", "Friday the 13th Part 2," and "Friday the 13th Part III"). Here, Jason Voorhees will first appear, he will don the hockey mask and burlap sack, he will run rampant around Crystal Lake, and Pamela Voorhees will appear.
Despite the fact that the 2009 movie shares the same title with the 1980 original, the 2009 film is not a direct remake of that film. In fact, it will have very little in common with that movie, with the exception of its setting and date. The 2009 movie will be much like "Batman Begins" in the sense that it it a 'reboot' of the series, sharing no continuity with the original movies despite the fact that they share the same main characters.
