So the film would have two killers, though not at the same time? It could work, Jason wasn't always the antagonist.
The first round of the legal proceedings, awarded the rights to Miller. Cunningham filled an objection, and forced them into a second round. Since them, it doesn't look like there has been any movement. Even Larry Zerner (Shelly from pt 3), who have been breaking down the legal jargon, has been quiet.
Looks like I will have to continue playing with my NECA/Mezco Jason figures for a while longer. :))
This is indeed what we're going to need if we ever get to more F13, ANOES, Hellraiser, ... films. We need visionary filmmakers who can usher in a new era for these series without losing their basic backbones. Personally, I was rocking along with Platinum Dunes' revivals in the 00's, especially for TCM, and I'm one of the few people to fully enjoy Rob Zombie's Halloween, but I also understand that those films merely pasted some post-Scream/post-Saw sensibilities over the old formulas. Guys like Ari Aster, Jordan Peele, Mike Flanagan, Justin Benson & Aaron Moorhead, Jeremy Saulnier and others could find the key to an entire paradigm shift within how to explore these worlds, pretty much like how CR broke with much of the "old" Bond formula (before restoring it bit by bit). But would they be interested in doing a Jason flick? I have my doubts. Peele might.
I found those rather entertaining, albeit for only a very narrow section of the horror loving crowd.
It REALLY is that simple. Stop rehashing garbage or putting out generic installments just to hold onto the rights and instead start focusing on getting the right talent in front of and behind the camera to make something special that keeps fans wanting more.
Incidentally, we, as Bond fans, have been treated to that very thing several times already. Take GE and CR for example. Both were films that combined a lot of "old" with a lot of "new". Granted, rights weren't the big issue (other things often were), but the fact that apart from a minor few cases no two Bond films are truly the same thing, is telling.
A new F13 should be easy, at least on paper. The things you have to keep are fewer than the things you can easily alter, introduce, skip, ... I guess they're simply afraid of trying something fresh. Proven formulas work... (Avengers), until they don't... (all those wasted attempts at rebooting old horror series). A smart person can spot the pattern and act on that.
My strongest advice remains to keep the budget as low as feasible and possible. Even in the best of times, these films won't ever make half a billion dollars. Invest 15 million and everything upwards of 50 million is probably a decent profit. And if the film is any good, the small but loyal audience will return for gory seconds. Invest 50 million, and you're probably out of your league. I keep going back to the SAW films for a not very fitting but still somewhat useful comparison. Most of those flicks never went over 10 million dollar budgets and most of them made well over 100 million dollars. They looked cheap when it wasn't a big deal but showed the goods when it was and that's what counts. Who cares if the "car ride" in SAW II had the camera move rather than the car? The gory scenes were pretty effective, and those were what pulled people in.
The sewer-pit production values on many of our beloved slashers are, in fact, part of their appeal. This isn't Disney evaluating every darn pixel that's on-screen, just to see if it looks good and won't upset the "woke" crowd. We love a bit of "raw" and imperfect filming when the ultimate goal is to give us those primal thrills we seek in a slasher. There's a reason why many horror fans love '70s horror so much, in fact. There's something "unsettling" and "ugly" about them that works miracles in setting the proper mood. So bust out the cheap film stock, find existing locations and use what's there. A cast of unknowns is fine as long as their performances are at least half-decent. Just make sure the thrills are there. Nothing else matters. And please, these films are not on a low-calorie diet, so bring the blood, gore, screams and, if possible, some "improper" exposure of attractive bodies. It's really easy. It's the cinematic equivalent of assembling a greasy pizza. When the next F13 comes, I want fast food, not "Haute Cuisine".
EDIT
Elias Voorhees apears at the start. That sounds like the overview that I read.
Always great to see the fantastic Kevin Bacon in a leading role:
Full trailer:
... Psycho was released in North America.
RIP : Shaw , Scheider , Hamilton , Fierro among others
I need to get the 4K that was just released a couple of weeks back and rewatch it. One of my favorites in the genre.
I remember when I bought the DVD, I watched the film 3 or 4 times in the first week.
Edgar Wright to direct the psychological horror/thriller The Chain, adapted from Adrian McKinty's novel.
The Chain tells the story of Rachel, who learns that her 11-year-old daughter has been kidnapped. The only way to get her back is to kidnap another child. Her daughter will be released only when that next victim’s parents kidnap another child. If Rachel doesn’t kidnap another child, or if that child’s parents don’t kidnap a child, her daughter will be murdered. She is now part of The Chain, a terrifying and meticulous chain letter-like kidnapping scheme that turns parents from victims into criminals.

......or at the very least a comic book , hell even Batman '66 got one
They could re-do movie III and this time make it actually scary (concept of shark inside amusement park isnt that bad of an idea imo)
******************************************
Hungry shark :
Chrissie (weight 50 kilos ?)
the dog (at least 10 kilos)
Alex (40 kilos ?)
boat man (70-75 kilos ?)
Gardner (80 kilos ?)
Quint (75-80 kilos ?)
Over a quarter ton (330 kilos) weight , more or less :P
By logic all the Jaws sharks are females
Carmen Electra is like 50 kilos so Chrissie might weigh more......maybe shes 55-60 kilos

I can dig them but I'm not a big fan of the FF genre myself.
