I am thinking about picking up the box set. But was wondering if there were any rumors about a new release?

I don't think we will. We were lucky enough to get this boxset from Paramount. They don't seem to have a high regard for this franchise, even though it made them a boatload of money in the early 80s. DDD has the set for $48.40 shipped. I noticed Walmart now carries this set in stores. It was $49.99. I usually see this one priced around $60 at Best Buy and Circuit City. It's worth it.

Not gonna happen.

not gonna happen as Paramount does not have the rights for its release

Didn't they say on the boxed set that the cut scenes were never fully produced, and were never preserved?

If anyone has a copy of Jason Forever that they are willing to sell, please send me a message

I bought the R3 version just to check if its worth it... and It is! seeing Kevin Bacon's Head being mutilated!

Tell me you've opened those DVDs since you took that picture :-P

Yes sir!... I did

I highly ever doubt it will come out... atleast in standard def DVDs... paramount has one chance to redeam themselves with the blu/hd version, but i wouldn't hold my breath... plus the box is actually a really like set...

Paramount can't seem to release anything right & some stuff they don't even bother to release. IE Ren & Stimpy, Subspecies, basically all their Fullmoon movies, ect ect... While I can't seem to digest completely wtf is wrong with Paramount, I'm guessing it all has to do with them having no standards & not really caring about the fans. I doubt alot of the material they hold will ever truely be released uncut, at least not by them. I think the only thing we can hold out for is that they finally sell off alot of their valued movie & tv show rights to someone more willing to do things right. Even that is a longshot though, and Paramount just makes me sad.

where did you get that??
are they all in one set?
shame the mask doesnt have any character to it. i know there are longer workprints of a few of the films. part 6 comes to mind. part 9 has the best release.

Huh?

haha i bought all the movies seperately before the box set was released, and i made spines, so across them all it says "FRIDAY THE 13th" in the logo font, it looks kinda cool on the shelf

Aren't the first releases of the series nonanamorphic?

Do you have a picture of the spines?

Warner's International has the supposed rights to the unrated International print, they might be some legalities that might need to be weeded out if Paramount ever wanted access to said unrated cut.

isn't there a version that also has a commentary track for 'Friday the 13th'

and what a clean floor

I've heard something about that too. I don't know for sure, but I think it might be on the uncut version.

I'm pretty sure nothing is stoping Paramount from releasing part 1 uncut,other than laziness and cheapness. Since they own the film,they can do what they want with it,and that includes re-editing it if they choose too.

Of course part 1 was cut the least,and i'm more hoping for the uncut versions of the sequels. But the chances of that happening are slim to none. So enjoy what we have!

paramount have to be the worst studio going. i think the uk version has a commentary. does the region 1 not?

They have always been anamorphic.
The newer F13th transfer in the box set looks WAY better than the older version.

I just want to say, that the boxset gets alot of hate, and even with it's flaws, it still kicks ass. I spent a great day going through the special features when I first got it, then a great week last Oct going through all Friday and Nightmare flicks in Chrono order with a few friends.

UK version (uncut) w/ commentary track
US version (R-rated version) no commentary track

hmmm, we Region One fans got royaly screwed over by Paramount.

any pictures we can see of how it looks?

I have the HK Region 3 edition which has a docu (for F13 - 1) "Return to Crystal Lake: The Making of Friday the 13th", is this even on the Region one Deluxe Box? - cause I don't see it included?

I hope Paramount's contempt for this franchise leads them to finally sell it off to New Line. Then we could finally get a complete box set and some fantastic SE's (and uncut versions, of course). But that scenario is about as likely as Paramount taking the initiative themselves.
