You'll remember be saying it when Zombie's HALLOWEEN did well, the flood gate is open and here come the remake express.
Word has come down today that a director has been chosen to helm the Friday the 13th remake. Here is the article from HR:
Marcus Nispel is in final negotiations to direct the revamp of
"Friday the 13th" for New Line and Paramount/MTV. Platinum Dunes is
producing.
Damian Shannon and Mark Swift wrote the script for the redo, which
aims to bring back horror icon Jason, the unstoppable hockey
mask-wearing killer.
While Jason made only a brief appearance in the final frames of the
first movie in 1980 and didn't even don his famous mask until the
third movie, the new movie will focus on Jason -- who will wear the
mask and kill -- and keep the famous setting of Crystal Lake.
Michael Bay, Andrew Form and Brad Fuller of Platinum Dunes are
producing.
A winter start date is being planned.
"Friday" reunites Nispel with Platinum Dunes, for whom he directed
2003's remake of "The Texas Chainsaw Massacre." The director, who
began his career in music videos, also helmed "Pathfinder" and
USA's telefilm "Frankenstein."
I have to admit, I liked Nispel's work on the Chainsaw remake so I'm thinking this might be a decent decision. Keep it here for the latest.
