LATEST NEWS

The film has been buzzing on the net lately, with pics now poping up (check the gallery), a couple teaser posters showing up at Comic-Con (check above) and now some bootleg trailer footage making its way to the net as well. Hit the link on your left for various links to the footage, but don't be surprised if they become unnavailable after a while. If it doesn't come up, you can just do a search on other video sites and you'll likely find it again. An official release shouldn't be too far off.

Nana Visitor is set to play Jason's mother, Pamela Voorhees. Filming is currently underway.
4.19.08
I've added a few new names to the cast. Danielle Panabaker plays the adventurous and athletic girlfriend of Travis van Winkle's character, who is the "rich alpha-male type" that gathers the group together. Aaron Yoo plays "Chumbler", a quirky guy who has a "tendency to wear his attraction to pretty girls on his sleeve." Jonathan Sadowski plays the techie that knows Crystal Lake's history. Sounds like your standard group of victims to me.
3.31.08
Stunt man Derek Mears is supposedly in talks to play the new Jason Voorhees. Since there's no official confirmation on this, we'll have to treat it as a rumor, but either way, it seems that he's currently the likely candidate.

5.18.06

2.24.06
With the project on the fast-track Platinum Dunes is keepin' it in the family by setting Jonathan Liebesman to direct, who also worked on TCM: The Beginning for them.
2.16.06
Platinum Dunes (Texas Chainsaw Massacre remake, Texas Chainsaw Massacre: The Beginning) is on board to produce the film, with Mark Wheaton (The Messengers) scripting. Producer Brad Fuller spoke about the film to Fango, where he revealed various details on what fans can expect. In it he states that he's not sure whether it's going to be a prequel or a remake, but from the sounds of it, it'll be a "re-imagining", which is a smart term for a "remake", but instead of using the same story and formula it goes in another direction. Fuller also states that it doesn't take place after the events of Jason X or Freddy vs. Jason, and adds that Jason will be wearing the hockey mask and that the film will have its own distinct story, but stay true to some of the old things from the series. Lastly, he says how the estimated October 13th release date seems unlikely since the project would have be rushed and the script nor a director have even been set yet. From the sounds of it, this will be an updated F13 film that ignores the previous films; detailing more of the origins of Jason and possibly lead the series into a new direction. This is just my guess since that's what the Platinum Dunes people did with the TCM remake.
