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.

The CW's Supernatural star Jared Padalecki is the first actor set to star in the film. He will play the lead, who investigates what happened at Crystal Lake.

1.11.07
It appears that the problem with the rights has been resolved and the film will finally get rolling sometime this year. New Line and Paramount will partner up for the project.

8.12.06
Director Jonathan Liebesman gave Fango an update on the project, where he revealed that he's heading back to the studio to pitch his take on the series, with hopes to get production started sometime later this year.

5.18.06
Various sources incidicate that the film's production is put "on hold" to straighten out a few things, mostly issues lying with the rights to the series.

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.

Right now, I dont know if I want to see this movie. All Hollywood does anymore is throw in pretty and popular faces into remakes and hope it sells. What happened to the old days where unknowns actors/actresses star in these movies and then become some of the greates actors ever!?! Jamie Lee, Kevin Bacon, Corey Feldman, Johnny Depp, just to name a few. not to mention that some of the greatest directors started out on stuff like this! Tobe Hooper, John Carpenter, Wes Craven are some of the greatest directors/writers ever! Wes and John should team up and take over the directing/writing of this if they so desperately want to 'rehash/reimagine" this movie! I think Ive said my piece.
