I'm glad we can potentially get more of Jason.

I wouldn't mind a reboot where Mrs. Voorhees is the primary antagonist before setting up her son in the sequel. The 2009 film tried to cut ahead to Part III.

Currently Victor Miller only holds the rights to the stuff in the original screenplay. He doesn't have rights to adult Jason and his rights don't extend to foreign stuff.

A coworker told me that Rob Zombie is going to reboot The Munsters.

I just hope he doesn't cast his wife as Marilyn. She can act but he does the same thing that Tim Burton does and puts his wife in every damn movie.

Wish granted. He cast her as Lily instead

I think the original is amazing. 4 is a really solid movie. 2018 was perfect for when it came out. H20 sucks. 5 is a snore-fest. Curse is embarrassing. Resurrection is one of the worst movies Ive ever seen. The Rob Zombie movies are decent but should be seen as their own thing.

Same reason we criticize 3/4ths of the Halloween franchise. Jason is stupid & the human characters surrounding him are more often than not simply forgettable canon fodder. Like, he beat a punk rock stereotype to death with their own guitar while they were isolating themselves aboard a cruise ship to practice? Okay? Ill watch it if it comes on, but theres nothing dogmatic about it. Might as well be a TV show. At least those tend to have a moral

What I think Bignutz is trying to say

is that Freddy does what Jason does, only way better. A dream is where that kind of stuff can happen. Jason is a try hard

I dont like the mask. I think most of the characters are extremely obnoxious. The score is from Scream for some reason and doesnt fit. And besides that, I dont find much of anything positive to stand out to me.

I'm sure Hollywood wants to reboot it desperately. And Nightmare on Elm St. too, of course.
The problem is is that suits are increasingly pushing for kind of deriavative, by-the-numbers type films, and these old horror monsters would work best with some one whose creative and has the freedom to do new and interesting things with them rather than a rote, paint-by-the-numbers reboot. The classic films are right goddamned there, no need to retread that ground for the umpteenth time.

Freddy is seen as a joke and Jason as well by association.

Seriously though, Halloween has Jamie Lee Curtis, which is why it always gets more attention.

With Zombie, Zombie himself was big back then, but those weren't received that much better than the Friday and Nightmare remakes. Especially after 2.

It doubly sucks too because with stuff like The Conjuring, we see that the Nightmare reboot formula in fact works EXTREMELY well..... when you get your monster shots in the middle of the movie & dont try whatever the hell happened at the end of the death-by-torch&pitchfork sequence. Half of the Nightmare remakes problems come from bad CGI & the other half could be solved by editing the crap out of it. Sad. This and The Thing are good movies that got just ruined in postpro

shit, a few scenes could be saved by a 5 second dub job & a dark filter

which i might add is exactly how they did the first one - Theres like a reverse vignette wherever Freddy looked like shit, and they dubbed the hell out of him. Half the time his lips dont move, dude

Heather Langenkamp as Nancy Thompson in A Nightmare on Elm Street was every bit as good as Jamie Lee Curtis as Lori Strode in the original Halloween. It's just a shame her career never really took off as an actor. She married a special effects guy and the two work behind the scenes in movies.

Along with Hellraiser (Kirsty Allen? Cotton?), their portrayal became the quintessential idea of the final girl. Theyre all playing practically the same part. A lister middle class shy & rebellious. Very wholesome

maybe lookin for Toto a little bit

Except if Victor Miller makes the movie he can't use adult Jason or any characters not from the first movie.

Its just so typical of a 20 years later revenge/renunion. I just cant place it with the other really good Halloween movies. Why write out the Jaimie stuff just to basically do the exact same thing? Haha
