A Friday the 13th Tradition will continue, as the wildly successful (sarcasm)reboot of the franchise will get a sequel which will release on a Friday the 13th.
A release date of August 13, 2010 has also been announced for the remake, although there hasn’t been word yet if the casting process has begun, or if Derek Mears will reprise his role as Jason Voorhees from the first Friday the 13th remake.
I do find it interesting that the 13th Friday the 13th film is called “Part 2”. Little trivia things like that amuse me. That and the swirly bits inside a marble.
Obviously this is not the 13th in a row, but the remake didn’t alter so much that it couldn’t have just been another tired chapter tacked on the end.
I hope that they do something better with the franchise. The original was terrifying (at first) but the remake was just dry and not scary at all.
After seeing the Texas Chainsaw Massacre and Halloween remakes I got excited for this one. I thought both films were enjoyable. However, this one stunk. I mean even Jason X was better than this subpar movie.
I didn’t see the first remake. Probably will not see it either…looked terrible.
The remake wasn’t bad or anything really negative. It just was an underwheling film that didn’t push when it could have. The only negative thing I can say about the film was that their was no shock value and the ending sucked. I can only want that the next film turns up everything.
I enjoyed the remake. It wasn’t anything new or original but it was exactly what a Friday the 13th film should have been.
I’m looking forward to it. And I’m also SUPER TIRED of people complaining about how these remakes/reboots are underwhelming or failures or not as good as the originals or whatever.
Friday the 13th was a REBOOT (not an original idea) of a nearly 30 year old franchise, OF COURSE it’s not going to take the world by storm! Just sit back and take it for what it is and stop waiting for Hollywood’s next Oscar-hoarding mega masterpiece.
YES! Friday the 13th films are my favorite! I’m so excited to hear this!
My question is will there be more topless wakeboarding?
Hopefully it will follow Halloween 2, into obscurity.
I just hope Jared Padalecki will be back for this.
Because clearly he made the previous film enjoyable…
