The fact is, the Dawn remake is just a scarier movie. Not to take anything away from what Romero created, but can you really be scared of stiff walking zombies today. Zombies that are hauling major ass just frighten the hell out of me.

Return of the Living Dead was such a pioneer of todays zombie movie.

not trying to diss you in any way Jasonsfury but I don’t know anyone that thinks that the Texas Remake and Dawn remake are even anywhere near the status of both the original Texas Chainsaw and the Original Dawn. Those are horror classics wereas the remakes are just, well, remakes.

but I do respect your opinion even though I dissagree with your choice of words.

first off the line was around the block for it (lucky I am as big a nerd as I am and got there hours early and was first in line!)

the place erupted with the first ever so light “ki ki ma ma” sounded before ther films official introduction! it was a serious throwback for me! the movie itself may have a few flaws but I still love it and would give it a very solid 8 out of 10 rating with the excepeptin that the ending seemed far to rushed.

There is no doubt in my mind that the reboot of NOES will fare very well at the box office, even if it does similar to the friday reboot I think that will be enough for them to pursue sequals and just change their marketing plans perhaps (im hoping anyways) I see the hype on the film has been set a bit premature as they already have 3 tv spots so im sure opening weekend will definately have a f13 vibe with all the freddyfans lined up in herds to guage the new task of mr jackie earl haley as the new dream demon. I am a big fan of the springwood slasher but he is one of the lower ranks on my slasher totem poll falling after Leatherface, Micheal Myers and of course #1 being mr voorhees but I with this film all the best as any further friday sequal may depend on it.

great wrire up mr fury.
cheers all

either way, he is purposely not good at it and aims to make fun of the characters. i don’t mind comedy mixed with horror, but it would be nice if they still tried to make the villains a little scary instead of looney toons characters.

that aside, i don’t know why they need to greenlight these movies based on the success of the others. they need to keep in mind that rob zombie went against the wishes of the die-hard fans with his series & that all NOES fans are not F13th fans. it’s a dumb strategy, but I guess it’s been established that business execs these days are usually doofuses.

they don’t need to evaluate if this series will do well. F13th will always be a cash-cow. the amount of money any of these makes long-term depends on how much they actually focus on making it GOOD. it’s a pretty black and white issue.

I find it strange that they would care about leftover scripts from a 7 year old movie? What are they hiding?

And the bigger question, Why would New Line Cinema want to ruin Xmas?!?!?!?!

Derek Mears is an amazing Jason.

I have been a Friday the 13th fan for as long as I can remember and I still say the reboot was the best film in the series since Jason Lives

I also am a bigger fan of the “Dawn Of The Dead” and “Texas Chainsaw” remakes then the originals.

People that like the originals better you need to accept the fact that others have opinions.

I also think Rob Zombies take on the Halloween franchise was excellent. He did something different with the material and brought some much needed life to a series that was struggling since 89’s Halloween 5.

I hope NOES is great as well. Love Jackie Earl Haley and feel he is a worthy successor to Robert Englund. You all should read Roberts book “Hollywood Monster”. He stated in his book that he felt that Freddy vs. Jason was his swan song as the character.

I really want a new Friday film and I hope NOES is the success that makes it happen

Hey Jay, I’ve been meaning to ask, why are the unused scripts for F v J no longer available on the scripts part of the website? Some were pretty good!
