Fair enough, but remember we only saw about that much of him in the first movie before too. Is it possible that the killer will be the mom and this is a “last shot of the movie” kind of thing?

I think with the character so many sequels hinging on the success of the series they HAD to put him in their remake.

Imagine. Jason was an afterthought and wasn’t even supposed to be in the first movie at all. The movie was about a mother’s revenge against loose teenage morals. Now he IS the franchise.

Hate to break it to you, but Jason IS in the remake.

I love Michael Bay. I haven’t loved all his movies, but when I just want to shut my brain off, he’s the one.

I don’t care what he does in the future, I don’t care what anyone says, I don’t care if he hired some hoodoo priest to lay some mojo on the 1st Transformer, I’d love him forever and ever.

Come on, guys. Different strokes for different people, right?

Well Rodney, I may have disagreed with you several times in the past, but calling Michael Bay a “genius” (wow, it even hurts a little to type that) may be the worst thing you ever said.
The man couldn’t direct traffic if he had to.
If he’s so brilliant in marketing his dumb movies, he should have become a pr-adviser not a director. In the end, it’s the movie that counts, not the amount of pr-campaigning that went into securing a successful opening weekend.
I know there’s some kind of magic spell laying over the editors of this site, which makes them somehow think that TRANSFORMERS was a great film. It wasn’t. It was shit. But it would just be too exhausting to open up that discussion again.

I end with a quote from Mark Kermode, film critic for the BBC:
“If Michael Bay wouldn’t be one of the most successful directors in Hollywood with millions of dollars at his disposal, he would be directing porn. Or more precisely, he would be directing adverts for porn.”

Both Jason and his mother will be killers in the movie. It’s using various ideas from the first three movies in the series, as in a way, I guess you could say it’s a remake of Friday the 13th Parts 1-3.

I could’ve sworn they said Jason was going to be in the whole movie. Not the mother.

Normally, I’d agree with you Rodney about the dis info thing, but he actuay has been releasing some. The break in scheduling? Yeah, there was no break. They’ve been filming all this time. He only said there was an upcoming break in scheduling and gave the date, to throw everyone off and stop the flow of unofficial BtS pics and videos and reports that were flooding out.

I wouldn’t say he is the best there is. But he puts out some great popcorn movies. And sometimes I just want a popcorn movie! Bay delivers.

A three movie contract simply means that IF there is a movie they are contractually obligated to fulfill their roles.

Keep in mind, Alan Cumming signed a 3 movie deal when he played Nightcrawler. They didn’t use him in the third movie, but if they had, Alan would have had to play the role (and they would have to hire him instead of replace him)

Its just in place to secure the same cast so they dont have the headache of replacing them IF that character is in a subsequent film.
