Marcus Nispel, the "genius" behind the "Texas Chainsaw Massacre" remake, is directing the "Friday the 13th" remake. Apparently he can only do horror remakes. But how much of a remake is this? The movie is said to involve Jason and he will be wearing his iconic hocky mask in the film. That's not so much a remake as it is a very different film. The original "Friday the 13th" did not feature Jason as the killer, it featured his mother. Furthermore, Jason didn't get his hocky mask until "Friday the 13th Part III." No doubt this is done since Jason has become such an iconic character, but like I said, this is hardly a remake. Due to the differences involved in the film I'm kind of interested, but it sounds more like selling out the franchise. We all know the only reason the remake will focus on Jason is because he's more popular and audiences expect to see him running around killing people, not his mother.
Production for the movie begins soon.
