Pamela killed Jasons father back in the 70’s. Thats the only way i wanna hear about him in the new rebooted franchise. Put him in the old franchise, thats already ruined.

I wrote something for my film school-a project I couldn’t get money for, so I aborted the project. I always wanted to see what the deal was with Jason’s father, so I wrote something myself. It kinda takes place after part 6 and continues both the Tommy/Tricia Jarvis storyline, and introduced Elias’. I never finished it however. But if somebody wanted to check out what I had, I would be glad to share it with you as long as you let me know what you thought of it. Who knows, maybe I’d finally finish it…

So to answer the question, yes I certainly think there is interest.

I think they could get away with meantioning him every now and then, just to remind peeps that he has a father. But not go too far other wise it will, i think, lose the appeal off it

Couldn’t have said it better myself “Colin”. I hate that Hollywood feels the need to dumb down everything, and explain everything….Let us use our imagination, cause what is in our head is much more terrifying than anything they can spell out for us.

It sounds like bringing the father into the series would create a Loomis character for a series not needing one. Tommy Jarvis was Loomis-esque and that was fine then. Bounty hunters would be a better idea then to introduce the father into the series, unless he’s just spoken of or shown in photographs as some “smarter” kids are able to find out more about Jason through the course of a film.

This is what they have to do. Jason’s dad when Pamela was pregnant was a scientist. And he found a way to heal damaged tissue. So he wants his unborn son to have all the health benefits. So he injects his wife’s womb with this medicine. He only has enough for himself and injects him self also. They should blame the killings of Part 5 on Jason;s dad and explain it. And now he’s back. Only he wants to help Jason kill-but we all know Jason. And Jason is so sick that he now wants to kill his dad. Come on tell me this is fucking great.

i have the simon hawke novel of Jason Lives and that part of the story was very interesting. The whole franchise could have had a huge twist on it after that, then again we probably wouldn’t have had A New Blood with “Carrie vs. Jason”. It may or may not work, just depends on how its written and if the studio is going to allow that backstory to come into play (paramount didn’t)!

There is some great ideas here. If somebody was ever going to take over a franchise (of any kind!) I’d hope they would at least be a fan of it! Friday the 13th included!

You guys have some great ideas! Gotta get Platinum Dunes and Warner here to the website to read your ideas.

Having Jasons dad be the owner of the camp site at Crystal Lake… where he drowned, etc… Might have been a cool.

Jason “drowned,” Pam went nuts and out of anger, killed her husband and the teens at the lake, etc…

Except, the Dad didn’t die… and now that he knows Jason is alive, goes to try and reclaim his son… but the son feels abanded by the dad. Then the dad, after seeing how evil Jason is, hires the bounty hunter Duke to finish him off for once and for all…

Right there is an interesting story idea. (I think so at least.)

Though call. It could work well, and it could also help put the series further down into the crapper. I wouldn’t do anything of the sort until they can establish a good quality, orginalish, Friday the 13th film. After they do that, they can throw in some gimmicks… like the snow, the father, Tommy, hey… even a new Duke like guy might be cool.

Could work… just depends on story!

I’ll admit that when I read Hawke novel I was intrigued by that scene. Then I found out it was the original intended finale of Jason Lives and I was even more intrigued. But I was a kid back then. As I get older I look back on the Friday movies, more specifically the first 3 or 4 and I think to myself, what was it that made those movies stand out more than the others? I mean the others were great and I loved them but for some reason those first few struck a chord with me. The reason, I deduced, was that Jason (and for part 1 Mrs. Voorhees) was barely in them. Or at least barely seen. He never made an appearance until the final act of the movie. THAT’S what made him scary, THAT’S what made them standout in my memory. But when film makers begin to delve deeper into the back stories of characters that were never meant to have one in the first place, the characters become too familiar, too human. They’re putting a face on the boogeyman and pulling back the curtain to reveal a cartoon character instead of what he is meant to be… a villain.

Keep the back story in the fan’s minds. Let US fill in the blanks. We don’t need to be spoon fed with this other stuff. All we need is to be scared. That’s why we love these movies.

I actually think that making him the killer in JGTH would’ve prob made the film better than what they actually did with the movie (kind of a reflection of the original) but as for including Jason’s father in the new story-line… I would rather them stay away from it unless they actually came up with a 5-star story!! It just seems that all the mystery that made all of the horror icons popular back in the late 70s and the 80s has disappeared.

I dont think they should bother. lets not fuck around with the past any more, lets just get Jason back on the screen and killing teens.

Adding the element of Jason’s father into the story would be too complicted for Shannon and Swift. So I don’t see it happening.

Yes, they should, why people would not want this part explored is beyond me. This would bring a new chapter to the series. Jason with some daddy issues, that would be interesting. Both he and Myers dad have not be explored in their respected movies. Bring on the daddy issues, you could do this by having Tommy trying to stop Jason. He seek out his dad to get some insight to found his weakness. Look at this way, Tommy is mommy boy as well since Jason killed his mom, so why would he not use it against him
