DVD News Already
Here’s some goss from Shock Till You Drop. I’d post my thoughts, but some of the louder folks out there have indicated I should shut my yap and get on with the copy & paste action, so here you go…
“We’ve already talked to Paramount about doing a double-disc on this,” reveals Dunes’ Andrew Form. “[A crew has] been shooting behind-the-scenes [footage] literally since we started tech scouting this movie, through rehearsals, through makeup and all the way through every kill. It’s an enormous behind-the-scenes making of this film.”
Why would they be talking to Paramount about a doing a double-disc? Isn’t this being distributed by Warner now that New Line has been absorbed by them?
I couldn’t care less about the extras, it’s whether the film’s gonna be a piece of shit I’m worried about. parts 2-8 have no extras (bar a trailer) but there’s some great films there, whereas Freddy vs. Jason was a 2 disc but the film sucked! I’m concerned that Platinum Dunes are constantly focusing on the wrong things with this movie.
All these extras are pretty standard nowadays,…I agree that the focus should be on the film. But that does’nt mean that the film isnt going to be any good. It might be great!? But we cant judge anything before feb. 13th, so we’ll see……
As long as it comes out on Blu-Ray.
Exile, Paramount is a part of the remake, that’s why they are mentioned.
I’d like to see a feature length documentary on the making of the film. That’d be awesome!
I honestly don’t think there’s anyway I could dislike the film. As long as they don’t do something that completely changes the series – like make Jason’s dad sexually abuse him or something stupid like that. That would be just…stupider than stupid.
I would love for the film to kick ass and the DVD release to be awesome, but I’d settle for just a kick ass film if I have to. That’s the important part. There’s no amount of extras that can stop a film from sucking!
Well that’s good they are adding a feature length making of documentary to this movie. I’m sure the film is going to be kick ass, I mean from what I’ve read the story is good, they will be upping the gore, violence, kids partying having sex and smoking weed. I mean that’s what a Friday the 13th film is all about. All good fun involving a perfect amount of blood and gore. Hopefully we’ll here more of the story in the coming weeks and I know they are sticking true to the series. Derek Mears has very strong respect for the role of Jason and he is taking it very seriously.
fuck yeah i cant wait for this one
I’m with christian sellers, i’m mainly concerned that the movie won’t suck. The last few fridays were a joke. FVSJ was ok to watch but by no means a true Friday, it was too hollywood. It needs to go back to the stripped down, no nonsense killing spree of earlier years. Platinum dunes talks the talk, they just need to walk the walk. The seem best suited to finally pull off a good Friday. But if it is good, i would LOVE for Friday to finally get the rspect it deserves with some kick ass extras!
i agree
I don’t know how anyone can think parts 2-8 are good movies and then say FvJ was a terrible film in any sense of the imagination, but to each his own.
All in all, what has already has been said is the truth, I’d rather have a better film with no dvd extras than a terrible film with loads of extras.
Wait, NewLine really was absorbed by WB? Damn, is this like the Arby’s-Wendy’s thing, where’s the same company, no changes, just new controllinf management?
I can say it quite easily. Four was dark, six was fun, the others are debatable. But FVJ was an insult in every possible way. Why it is given an R rating then aimed at ten years olds, with stupid slapstick and dumb humour (pretty much on par with Freddy’s Dead)? I like my horrors to at least cater for adults, not fans of Looney Toons
I have always been dubious about the involvement of Platinum Dunes and MTV, but Derek Mears is an awesome choice to play Jason. Just look at him, I bet he can be a scary motherf**ker when he wants to be. The need to get rid of the unstoppable zombie thing (which I admit Kane was awesome at but time to try something new perhaps?) and just have a nutter in the woods (minus the bag on the head). Shame Frank Mancuso Jr didn’t come back to the series, he would have been a more suitable producer than Michael Bay. People, have we forgotten about Pearl harbor????
I will buy the dvd even if I hate the movie. Only because maybe there will be something in the extras that tell were they went wrong. But then again I did try this with Jason x and hated the movie so much I could not get threw it even with commentary on.
I will buy it just to be a completist. I’ll been collecting them this long
I really hope that the movie is good. But with Platinum Dunes, it has to be something. I mean I loved the TCM remake and prequel.
Fingers crossed!
I heard Jason goes around killing people while dressed in his mother’s thong.
That was funny but over the line. Suck a cock Mark.
Boy, am I glad we don’t have a message board!
I have an idea for a Friday the 13th sequel. Jason’s has a sister, Heather, who goes around killing people. She is nicknamed the “69 Killer”. She kills them while wearing a thong and sitting on faces, smothering them.
I already love this movie, that’s how damn partial I am. I think they can really pull this off, at least I like what I’m hearing so far.
And as for extras – bring them on. If the movie’s good, it’ll be well worth the money, and if it sucks, well…we’ll end up buying it anyway folks. That’s just how it goes. As long as it’s more of the brutal Jason Voorhees, a part of me will always be happy. Sad but true.
nice Iove special features. Just hope its a tyte movie.
Platinum Dunes hasn’t let me down for a good horror remake yet.
I have great hopes and faith in this film.
Platinum Dunes haven’t entertained me once yet so fingers crossed…
I love all the extra stuff – I will say I really REALLY HOPE this movie stays true to the original story of the first 8 movies – NEW LINE ruined the Friday the 13th Franchise with Jason goes to hell and Jason X – these two movies SUCKED. JASON IN SPACE – are you KIDDING ME and Jason being possesed by demons OMFG. PLEASE PLEASE stay true to the real Friday Series please. AND HAVE JASON KICK SOME SERIOUS CAMPER ARSE. LLJV
JGTH is an abomination well said JR
I like Jason X. The character was no longer scary so they just tried to make a fun movie. Hopefully with the remake they intend to make him scary again
okay, wait this isnt going straight to dvd RIGHT!!!!!!!!
that will make me sad
i hope they were talking about after the theater release then blah blah blah dvd
I agree Jason Goes to Hell and Jason X were brutal. But I did think Freddy VS Jason was pretty good. It must have been pretty tough to try and figure out how to get them together after all. I’m pretty sure they are not going to go too far off the beaten path with this one. I hope that they make a trilogy or even better, they keep it going like the Bond movies.
It’s too bad that the New Beginning was so dry. What a great concept of bringing in a copycat killer, but the bed was shat on that one.
