AceShowbiz - Don't put your hopes too high to see the origin of Jason Voorhees in "Friday the 13th", Platinum Dunes' new version of the 1980 horror flick.
ShockTillYouDrop.com has obtained surprising scoop from its source close to the project claiming that the flick is not a remake and would not be an origin story of any kind. The insider further pointed out pic would take place "somewhere between parts two and four" instead with a "leaner, meaner, faster" Jason.
If the tidbit proves legit, this could mean that horror fans may as well be presented with a brand new story in this long-running slasher franchise or even witness a different version of the unstoppable serial killer. Stay tuned to AceShowbiz for further reports about this subject.
Produced by Michael Bay, Brad Fuller, and Andrew Form, "Friday" has already got German-born filmmaker Marcus Nispel to direct based on script by Damian Shannon and Mark Swift. Pic recently was announced to meet a release date of February 13, 2009.
