Friday The 13th Blog

For all of you UK fans who have been wondering when you’re getting Jason, 2009 style in High Definition, well wonder no more. Blu-Ray.com is reporting that Friday the 13th (2009) is heading your way in August.

Here are images from the deleted scenes of Young Jason in Friday The 13th (2009).

Derek “Jason” Mears has been nominated for the MTV Awards’ Best Villian. He’s up against Dwayne Johnson – Get Smart, Heath Ledger – The Dark Knight, Johnathon Schaech – Prom Night (Screen Gems) & Luke Goss – Hellboy II: The Golden Army.

Since it’s so early days right now, anyone associated with Platinum Dunes’ Friday The 13th talking about the inevitable sequel, is well worth listening to:
What I can officially say from the producers is the writers are writing the sequel right now. It’s still in the rumor status because it hasn’t been officially green lit. I [...]

Some more nice bells and whistles planned for the Friday The 13th (2009) Blu-Ray Disc:
Warner Home Video has unveiled further specs for ‘Friday the 13th,’ which will slash its way to Blu-ray this June with even more bloody BD-Live-exclusive content.
Though the studio recently confirmed an already-impressive gaggle of bonus features for the June 16 Blu-ray [...]

Will you be getting the Theatrical Cut, or the Killer Cut? And on that topic, don’t you think they could bother creating different cover art for the two DVD editions? Click for larger versions…

Dusk has already shown you the cover art for the UK release of Friday the 13th. Now, check out this ad for the upcoming US release of the DVD featuring a listing of all of the special features included on the theatrical and uncut DVD/Blu Ray releases

I get 100 emails a day asking for the USA artwork/release date – what, like I somehow forgot to post that stuff if I have it? Sheesh – when I know, you’ll know. But those delicious limeys over in the UK are getting it on July 27th and here’s the art. Pretty groovy, I reckon.

Bloody Disgusting talked with the beautiful actress about her new movie, The Crazies, and also her experiences on Friday The 13th. She describes some of the scenes that were edited or cut.
“The original idea was that my character got out onto the bus with Jared, Amanda and Derek,” Panabaker told press. “I think they couldn’t [...]

Hi everyone. Not a huge update. As you all know the Dunes gang are all about the Elm Street remake at the moment. (The less said about Nancy=angry goth social outcast the better am I right?). But you know this is a small but vital bit of news I think we missed. Im sorry if [...]

Now that Friday the 13th is all but out of theatres, I thought we should all take a look at how the movie fared throughout the last 6 weeks. I know that we are all aware of how much the movie dropped off after opening weekend, but this movie still made a lot of money [...]

Just a reminder, if the new Friday The 13th is still playing in your area, why not grab some friends and go give it a re-appraisal? There’s something about seeing a movie a second time that tends to feel more relaxed and free of anticipatory pressure. Seeing it on the supposedly unlucky day helps, too [...]

I love listening to these guys, so I thought I would share the link to their feature “DeadPit on the road “. They usually do a video log of their trip to the theater before they view whichever horror movie is out at the time. They then review the movie afterwards. Since a couple of [...]

As I began reading this when I found it, I was almost salivating with excitement, till the timeline had me scratching my head, then realization dawned on me with an almighty “DOH!”

These covers for Standard and Unrated versions of the new Friday on DVD have been floating around various blogs. But something about them doesn’t sit quite right with me – for one there are a number of really awful design decisions (i.e. placement of taglines and other elements in relation to each other) that call [...]

What, you think just because the movie’s out that fridaythe13thfilms.com is gonna let up with the good stuff? Think again! Today I archived 29 Publicity Stills in our Friday The 13th Gallery which will continue to grow into a multimedia haven for Jason fanatics.

….Well, yeah but as of yet there is no greenlight, as some insiders say. It is very likely that Marcus Nispel will not return to direct the much talked about sequel.

Give this interview a read. Friday reboot writers Mark Swift And Damien Shannon discuss their screenplay work on the flick, things that were cut even before filming, references to the other flicks, and even candid thoughts on their Freddy Vs Jason. It’s five static pages long, and a pretty smooth (and funny) read.

How did Jason fare in weekend 2 of the reboot’s run? Early figures are in from Variety and Friday The 13th placed fifth with $2.73 million.

Check out this fairly authentic-recreation of the Derek Mears Jason costume. Dude even wore it to the midnight premiere! Great job! Thanks to ’samowemeg’ for the vid.
