I've gone back and forth on the first remake so many times. It has certain elements to it that I don't mind but a lot of it pisses me off the more times I watch it. It just doesn't have the same fun/campy factor as the original films. The prologue is great but it goes downhill pretty fast afterwards.

That being said I'd still be interested in a new film just because Friday the 13th is probably my favorite horror franchise.

It did have perfect nipple placement, though.

It's a three year home video distribution deal. (Which includes around 600 titles.) After the three years, the distribution returns to Paramount.

Not sure what to make of this other than Paramount doing what it has always done in the past when it came to the franchise that saved their ass, so many times ... another film to milk.
Sad thing is the film will probably be ass, but people will pay and that's what Paramount banks on.
The remake was shit. They took cliche to a new level and extended it (sex scene) and brought over a little Bubba Sawyer in Jason's character.
I say if Paramount wants to do it right, slash the budget in half, use unknowns, use practical SPX rather than shit CGI and get some old school style in there. Hell, get Ti West to write AND direct.

I'm hoping that since the universal word amongst fans is the remake was shit (which it largely was), Paramount just makes another sequel to the original timeline. Based on how most of the sequels are, they don't even have to do much to establish continuity. Just pick right back up, put him in the goddamn snow, and make a movie about teens getting killed. This thing writes itself.

This would be ideal if you ask me. Although if it were up to me I would just choose they also ignore or don't mention much from the events of Jason Goes to Hell: The Final Friday or Jason X as I really didn't care for either of those. Although I suppoe it isn't like there's a lot of continuity between these films to begin with. But yeah, the remake wasn't the best and I'd prefer to ignore it.

Just reading this thread and saw this post. That could be an interesting change of scenery for the series. I'd be interested in seeing something like that happen.

I think taking off from Jason X would work perfectly. They did show 'Earth 2' in the end and who is to say, like always, Jason didnt survive. Takes place in the future and Jason has new stomping grounds. Keep some 'parts' of the Uber suit as well as an 'under-suit' and have him get some new threads to cover up.
Have him pull a Myers and break into a store that just so happens to have hockey masks ... go from there and tear some shit up !

True enough I suppose. Honestly I guess aside from being cheesy as shit Jason X wasn't that bad. Jason Goes to Hell is a piece of crap though. Easily my least favorite of the franchise.

JGTH was easily the worst idea. Kane liked the costume but he was hardly in it and the whole soul jumping idea was just awful. Not even sure why Adam Marcus thought it was a good idea.
Amazes me that Sean S. Cunningham let it fly other than simply not giving a shit and figured it was the end of Jason forever.

Adam Marcus liked it because it subverted the entire F13th franchise. Just look at what he did with the new Texas Chainsaw...

They really don't need to pick up from anywhere. Open with the tale of Jason Voorhees like VI did (it was VI, right?) and re-establish his rough continuity. Don't even include clips from JGTH, X or remake for all I care, just a brief reminder we're back in the real timeline. Cut to someone who isn't important to the story being killed for the expected opener, then we get a group of bros, nerds, and snow bunnies heading to the lake for some winter activities. Mayhem ensues. Hell, maybe throw the fans a bone and have an older, grizzled Tommy Jarvis appear in the third act as a hero.

I always did sort of expect that Tommy would have appeared in another film after Jason Lives. He's one of the better hero characters of the franchise and I wouldn't mind seeing him back again. Especially since he was so deadset on killing Jason in Jason Lives it could have been a pretty easy way to bring him back when he found out that he came back yet again. The only thing is I would guess he'd be killed off since obviously Jason won't ever truly be killed off.

So ... Cory, John Shepherd or Thom Mathews ?

If they went with the idea and somehow got Feldman to agree to reprising his role that would be kind of cool.

No. Feldman's days of convincing acting are over. Recast it, which they would do anyway.

It's not like you expect the best acting in this type of film anyways. Besides he can be okay sometimes still in my opinion.
