'Friday the 13th' Remake Lands a Lead

After doing a surprisingly good job on the Texas Chainsaw Massacre remake -- and then taking five steps back with the misguided Pathfinder -- it looks like Marcus Nispel has been signed to direct the Friday the 13th remake for Platinum Dunes, Paramount, and Seems like a strange direction for a "remake" to take, but obviously I'm more than happy to see the flick before I get all excited or all furious. We'll be waiting until February 13 of next year (yes, it's a Friday) to see what Nispel and screenwriters Mark Swift and Damian Shannon have in store for us. More casting news as it comes in -- and if the Dunes guys opt to go PG-13 on this project, I may just lose my mind.

I'm a huge fan of Supernatural.
I think that Jared Padalecki will do great. It would be awesome if they did it as an episode of Supernatural though. Have the Winchesters go to Crystal Lake to investigate the murders. :D

Sounds less like a remake (Zombie's Halloween) and more like a pseudo-sequel (Superman Returns), which is the route I would prefer.

No someone comes in as suggests Christian Bale should play Jason...
Seriously, though, I wonder if they'll bring back Ms Vorhees back. Itch wus cray-say!

I quite liked Pathfinder...both versions. Haven't seen TCM remake, but may take a look for it now.

Funny that Padalecki played Scout Taylor-Compton's brother on GG, and now they're both in horror remakes.

Hi I love Jared Padalecki does anybody know if he dies in Friday the 13th. I sure hope not. I watch him on Super Natural all the time. I'm a huge fan and would love to meet him someday. Where in Austin Texas are they shooting the movie?
