Friday The 13th Remake Gets Its KillerBy Rafe Telsch: 2008-03-31 08:51:43
It looks like the remake of Friday the 13th has its new iconic figure. Yes, the character is still Jason Vorhees, but the actor behind the mask has been revealed, assuming they keep the hockey mask, which wasn’t a part of the original Friday the 13th, since Jason wasn’t even the big bad in the first movie.
Actor Derek Mears is no stranger to the horror genre, recently playing in the new The Hills Have Eyes 2 as well as an episode of Masters of Horror. According to Bloody-Disgusting, the actor will play the new version of Jason in Platinum Dunes remake of the classic series. While it’s not finalized yet and negotiations are still going on, the news has been confirmed through at least one other site through separate means, so this is pretty official. I’m not a fan of the Friday the 13th movies (I was always more of a Freddy Kreuger fan), so I really have no opinion on this other than wondering why we need a remake when another sequel would be sufficient. The actor looks creepy enough and the fan sites out there seem excited by Mears, however, so we’ll take this as a potentially good sign for the remake. If finalized, Mears will become the second official member of the cast, joining Jared Padalecki who will play one of the teens Mears will get to torment.
