Michael Bay Wants to remake "Friday the 13th"
"Friday the 13th" Remake In 2009?
Michael Bay's production company Platinum Dunes plans to release a remake of "Friday the 13th" sometime in 2009 reports Variety.
First announced in January 2006, the project fell into development hell as time went on and Platinum Dunes released a series of failed remakes (Hitcher, Amityville) and prequels (TCM: The Beginning).

Let him, the original was mediocre to begin with.

Off topic:
I thought there were plans on remaking 'My Bloody Valetine' with the notorious censored scenes reshot and hopefully not getting spliced out by the MPAA this go around.

Anyway, on a recent FANGORIA Radio F13 special this was discussed and somewhat brought up an interesting point - since Jason and the hockey mask are so synonymous with the series, does the possibility exist that they'd just altogether skip the whole storyline of

And why do I have the distinct feeling that the duration of this remake is going to be comprised of the first few minutes of Jason Goes to Hell with the police snipers stretched out to 90 minutes?

I'm sure there will be some sterotypical "hackers" that figure out the mom is the killer, but it's too late to warn the military.

Bad idea period no matter who wants to write/direct/produce...
LEAVE IT ALONE!!!!!!
It is what it is and thats what makes it.I wish Hollywood would leave shit alone and stop thinking they have to remake everything.Get some people who can think of NEW IDEAS.It's not like everything has been done yet.
Remaking Halloween, Friday the 13th, Nightmare on Elm St. ( please no ) is like walking on sacred grounds.These are franchises that made horror and created icons.
Just my opinion but I don't care who wants to do them.I don't need a re imaging of something I am already fond of just because the lazy asses around the Hollywood think-tank have nothing new to come up with and run through old flicks picking straws on what one to remake.

If they ever plan to make another nightmare on elm street, It better not be a remake of the original. Theres nothing wrong with that film that would call for a remake. I'd love to see a prequal instead. That would be the only horror film I could see pulling off a good prequel. Theres so much background given throughout the series of Freddys past that could make a really good story.
