I agree that it’s the rest of the series that really needs to be released uncut and full of extras, but if that’s going to happen it has to start somewhere.
Here’s hoping that this is only “The New Beginning” of GOOD, COMPREHENSIVE, IN-DEPTH, UNCUT, 2 disc versions of the whole F13 series that will not insult our intelligence any further. After the wait, and the disapointing boxed set, I sometimes wonder why i’ve remained a fan for so long. But i’ve been a fan of Jason and F13, not Paramount. I really hope they make amends with this. Personally i’d pay a high price for the whole series done right. ( Which would make it the 4th time i’ve bought these movies, but also the last.”
Right on, DLC. I also buy’em cause of the legendary Slasher icon that is Jason; not the Cashamount prick bastards.
I’m also hoping that, within the next two years cause of the 30th anniversary of Part 1 comin’ up, that maybe we’ll see a proper boxset done right for the LAST and FINAL double-dipping form them. *crosses figners*

]]>Buechler told me via email several years ago that the original footage should still exist in “the vault” (at least, I think that’s the terminology he used) at Paramount. He also said that he would be willing to re-cut the film for a “Director’s Cut.”
If Kane’s tape of the footage is the only form that it’s available in, it would be safe to say that there’s no reason to even hope for an uncut TNB.
I still don’t understand why Paramount would just throw film away. Of course, I don’t understand a lot of the things that Paramount has done over the years.
