It’s Time For A New Friday The 13th

Slasher flicks are time and time again a guilty enjoyment for lots of film arers. Sure, they won’t reap censors’ votes. They won’t get A+ ratings from the movie media. They won’t even get C scores from home-based online pundits. Hacker flicks will forever be scream-filled tales with meaningless outlines.

But through the times, these slasher flicks have imprinted – pardon the clever remark – a niche of their own.

A big part of the victory of these slasher movies can be attributed to the Friday the 13th program and its 15 incarnations. Friday the 13th is a chain of movies that was lead by a hockey veil-wearing psycho killer identified as Jason Voorhees. So famous is this series that it has become a staple of pop society, being referenced in many media channels for a nice segment of the newly completed century.

In 2009, a reboot of the series will be presented for the movie going public to experience. One more time, lovers of slasher films and persons who are new to the variety will get to encounter the father of slasher-themed films, this time recreated for the new generation.

Right, Jason Voorhees is going to make a comeback!

This time, he won’t be battling another movie monster icon. He won’t be in space, liberated from years of cryogenic stupor. He won’t be fighting off the opposition of a female telepath.

As a substitute, we will witness, or re-witness, the birth of a serial predator. We will learn about the story that yielded a monstrosity like Jason Voorhees. We will witness him threaten the unlucky travelers experiencing the hot waters of Camp Crystal Lake.

It’s 2009 and it’s time for a new Friday the 13th!

The remake is done by Marcus Nispel, who also directed the remake of the Texas Chainsaw Massacre. The movie will present Derek Mears as Jason Voorhees, with Jared Padalecki and Amanda Righetti playing the male and woman leads, respectively.

The flick will be released on a Friday the 13th, specifically February 13, 2009.
