Comments on: The New Blood and Jason Takes Manhattan Crews Talk New DVD’s http://fridaythe13thfilms.com/blog/the-new-beginning-and-jason-takes-manhattan-crews-talk-new-dvds/ News & Updates for fridaythe13thfilms.com Wed, 19 Jan 2024 22:20:23 +0000 http://wordpress.org/?v=2.9.2 hourly 1 By: Steve http://fridaythe13thfilms.com/blog/the-new-beginning-and-jason-takes-manhattan-crews-talk-new-dvds/comment-page-1/#comment-155348 Steve Wed, 14 Oct 2024 15:06:46 +0000 http://fridaythe13thfilms.com/blog/?p=3875#comment-155348 Waiting for parts 4 and beyond on blu-ray is just killing me. I thought, since 2 and 3 on blu came out around the same time as 4 to 6 on dvd, then 4 to 6 on blu would be released when 7 and 8 came to dvd. When talk of a blu-ray box started, and I didn't hear anything about 4 to 6 on blu for a while, I decided to wait til the box set came out. Of course, the talk of the box set stopped for a while now too. Talk of the aspect ratio on the part 1 on blu didn't really convince me to buy the separate releases either. But, I just couldn't wait any more, so I bought 2 and 3 on blu. 1 was out of stock when I went to buy 2 and 3. In the back of my mind I keep wondering if Paramount would be gracious enough to re-release 1 on blu with the aspect ratio restored. Waiting for parts 4 and beyond on blu-ray is just killing me.

It truly sucks that Paramount put the first three on Blu and then stopped. In fact, I think it's pretty damned asinine that they did that!

Even if you just look at the movies released by Paramount, Jason has more films under his belt than Freddy, Michael Myers, Chucky, and Leatherface. I think Paramount did a good job at trying to keep the franchise fresh after the fourth film (overall) and its an added bonus that fans got the films that they got from New Line at all. I think Paramount did a good job overall and knew a little more about making good horror films than New Line. Either way, I will be looking forward to the remake sequel and any other F13 films that may come our way in the future.

The slasher genre was dead by the late 80's and if Paramount would have retained the rights, they would not have made any new movies period. Paramount was actively trying to get Freddy vs Jason done with New Line, but they never had any intention of continuing the franchise outside of the versus movie. At least New Line and Sean Cunningham had a real want to make some more Jason films. I know that a lot of fans are disappointed with Jason Goes To Hell and Jason X, but those movies each had their own bright spots and kept the franchise going into the millenia.

Aside from Jason Goes to Hell, I didn't like X or vs Freddy at all. And even though I think I read that Paramount thought they were done with the series, that undoubtely that would have changed eventually, especially in light of renewed interest in the 80's slashers. And they certainly had their hands out for a piece of the remake proceeds. Just wondering what you guys think. The paramount mountain in the beginning was always a favorite of mine before a friday started. do you guys ever wonder if things would have been better if Paramount kept the franchise instead of selling it to New Line?
