Oh yes, the shot they used in one of the trailers. It was such a ferocious moment, that despite already being shown, it's impact wasn't diminished.
Stay optimistic, @Creasy47. The fact that a Friday The 13th game was made possible with a kickstarter, must show that there is still an audience for Jason.
Even though my loyalty is to the F13 films, I would like to see Halloween continue with the original timeline, and the same goes for A Nightmare On Elm Street. Horror films are being made all the time, some go theatrical, others don't. Yet the 3 biggest horror series, each with an in built audience of their own, are struggling to get new films made. What is going on?
The last I heard regarding 'Halloween,' it was going to be a sequel that picked up moments/hours after the second installment ended, and would be heavily grounded in the scares/thrills department, which immediately makes me think of the first two movies, and creates a lot of optimism on my end.
If I remember right, wasn't it going to be set in a prison like facility? Myers was due to be executed, but something goes wrong, and he escapes causing the facility to be thrown into a lockdown. I think Sheriff Brackett was supposed to make a return as well.
I think that was the earlier idea they had, before there was a shakeup of those involved and Danny McBride and his buddy were set to write/produce, with his friend also directing.

Zombie had his say on Halloween and it should be left at that. Now, I'll admit to really enjoying his Halloween II while I know that virtually nobody else did, but regardless, it really cheapens that film, and especially its ending, if they were to make a third film, regardless of whatever direction they ultimately decided to take it in. That ending was definitive and it should be left that way, IMO.
Oh, I thought you guys were talking about the original plans to jump off of the end of Zombie's Halloween II, which was, from what I read, the plan for quite a while until just most recently. My mistake.
I do agree that it shouldn't have anything to do with Zombie's films, although I'd disagree that they were garbage. ;) :D
That confirms Jason from pt 2, 3, Jason Lives, Jason Takes Manhattan, Jason Goes To Hell and the Tom Savini Hellish Jason (+ possibly one other unseen Jason). No 2009 Jason?
I have hopes with this new one. The Zombie films were definitely terrible (the second was even worse than the first), but the way McBride is speaking about this new one, it's checking off everything on my list that I'd love to see return to the series.
I thought it was taking place a few hours/days after the events of the second film? I guess either way, the first two take place in a 48 hour period.
The Dunstan/Melton screenplay is a sequel to the original film, but set in the present day. Though given as that screenplay is supposedly dated 2015, they might be working from a tweaked screenplay.
McBride mentions they're in the midst of hammering out the script, hoping to start shooting this fall so they can have it out for the 40th Anniversary of the original next year. Says he doesn't want a "supernatural" Michael Myers, either, which is good.
I'm getting more and more excited for this. Like the article says, it really does feel like they're going for a simple, straight-up, classic slasher/horror feel for this. Nothing convoluted or over the top.
I always go back and forth between that and Carpenter's 'The Thing' being my #1 favorite horror film.
1. The Shining
2. Jaws
3. Halloween
4. The Thing
5. Psycho
Carpenter's Halloween and The Thing are both pure, horror excellence. Honorable mentions from me include Alien, The Exorcist, The Silence of the Lambs, A Nightmare on Elm Street, Scream, Repulsion, The Ring, and It Follows. I could list more but those are my favorites.
