That doesn’t make any sense. How can Jason be a teenager between 1980 and 1985 when he was 11 years old in 1957?

I dunno… he obviously cant be killing peeps or it would go against the orginal movies. Of course… they could also just rewrite everything. I don’t know. It isn’t making me hungry, thats for sure.

Great concept. It’s good that he’s keeping the original series alive as well, and since the events that occured between Friday the 13th and Friday the 13th Part 2 are the most mysterious to the viewer, this would definately explain a lot. Let’s hope it shows us how Jason encountered Alice and his dead mother, because that was probably the most confusing aspect of Part 2.

With the right mood, this could work. Jason wasn’t quite a cold-blooded killer yet, as Alice was his first kill, but dealing a lot with psychology, this could help explain some of Jason’s motives.

I’m not too big on this idea either. It’s like Smallville, but an anti-hero instead. I think that Friday the 13th could be a mini series, but only if it’s the Jason that we all know. Unveiling too much of a back story just kills the character. I don’t need to even imagine Jason as a kid. It seems kinda silly.

I don’t think this idea would work, like someone else said! He would have been a teen in his late 50’s and for most of the 60’s, which takes place before the first movie. But if they still want to do a t.v. series with him in his 30’s during the events between parts 1 and 2. Then i say make it happen!

Not a fan of the idea. I’d rather look forward than look back especially when there really isn’t much of a story to tell. It would only make sense if they base it off the remake where there he wasn’t really dead to begin with. The surrounding community in the remake seemed aware of Jason and would prefer to leave him alone.

MAYBE a story based off that could work but it would be a short story. I always found from interviews that Ari has been trying to find some way to cash in on his Jason past. From the music project he mentioned in the Friday box set years ago to this now. I want to see prime Jason on the big screen not hillbilly overalls Jason on the small screen.

I don’t like the idea. The whole backstory is what ruined RZ Halloween for me. It would just kinda dispell some of the mystery for me. And also, how much could there actually be to make a show about?

I will be honest here and this will annoy many fans but it wouldn’t work and more likely than not would ruin the mythology of Jason and the series itself. NOBODY cares about teenage Jason but us, and the avid fan will watch an episode and say “WTF?” Jason wouldn’t kill because that isn’t noted in any of the films. Maybe its best served in a future reboot of the series guys but definately not for TV

And I don’t mean to sound harsh…but can I just put out there that I’ve always found Ari Lehman to be kind of an odd person? Ok, I understand that he was “the first Jason” ever…but in all reality, the guy who played Officer Dorff had more screen time than Ari did, and he’s not out there trying to milk every bit of fame out of his role as he possibly can. Ari just sort of reminds me of that one person who told one funny joke 20 years ago, and wants to come back all the time to remind you of how funny he is because of that one joke. Like, we get that he was the first Jason and all, and that the franchise took off because of the character himself, but his role in the first movie really wasn’t all that significant in the grand scheme of things, and if it wasn’t for a very last-minute decision, his scene wouldn’t even have been conceived. Sorry, I just needed to get that off of my chest.
