One of the most recurrent debate coming up in movie fan discussions is definitely the question of “supporting or not film remakes”. Whether it is in favour of actualizing old hair-raising masterpieces or totally against these lousy teenage films -only demonstrating the actual lack of creativity from Hollywood studios-, one could understand that the real haemoglobin fan can only be looking forward to these extra bloody hours to be spent in the projection rooms…
Thus, during the past years many boogymen (Myers, Leatherface, the irradiated family of “The hills have eyes” and many others) have seen their film roll being put up to date and it seemed surprising that Jason Vorhees (key figure of old school slasher movies such as the saga “Friday the 13th” ) wasn’t among them. It is now done: the famous Crystal Lake butcher mutilating horny teenagers, has seen his “remake time” come. The person responsible for this is no other than Marcus Nispel, also accountable for the really good remake of “the Texas chainsaw massacre”. Until its coming out on 13th of February 2009, a first very attractive trailer has meanwhile been released on the internet. Please admire the slaughter…
