FRIDAY THE 13th - Trailer

news 28.07.08

(cm) Here is it, the first trailer for the new Friday the 13th that hits theaters in early 2009. Marcus Nispel (The Texas Chainsaw Massacre remake) directs for producer Michael Bay, who anticipates as much success for this new re-imaging as they had on Texas.

It's basically a remake of the first three flicks, as Jason (Derek Mears) is the masked killer from the get go. In the old series, Jasons' mom did the killing in 1, with he got his mask late in part 3.

Story: Several teens (Amanda Righetti and others) try to survive a night in summer camp Crystal Lake, as a mysterious and shadowy figure named Jason Voorhes takes their lives one by one.

While the re-imaging of the Leatherface saga never archieved to get the grittiness of the original, at least the style will prevail as very good-looking.
New Jason also seems to be a bit more mobile in this new movie, as he's clearly seen running after this victims.

The first trailer (watch it as long as it's out there) shows two teenagers raiding Jason's hut, then finding Pamela Voorhees' dried head and being attacked by Jason. Several clips of running, stabbing and screaming ensue, with Jason hastingly running after a girl in the final glimpse.

Trivia: The makers of Freddy vs Jason planned to do another one, but when it wasn't possible to include either Michael Myers, Pinhead or Ash of the Evil Dead series, they stopped working on that idea.
