I'm bettin this is where those rumors of Jason being on Supernatural were coming from.

I'm gonna laugh when this gets rated PG-13.

[FrighT MasteR]

Meh, casting choice is decent since I'm a fan of the show, but hopefully the rest of the cast won't be filled with young OC-wannabes.

[BooBerry]

Plenty of worse choices out there. I'm not complaining about this guy.

Unfortunate, but more than likely especially if they go with a more known cast.

Agreed

On a related note. Funny how things change slightly. 6-7 years ago, the slogan would always be lets hope they dont load up on a horror movie with a Dawsons Creek/WB cast but those are long defunct.

Times change, but some things never change.

if this movie is PG-13, Hodder will slit his wrists on opening day.

[Chief Falling Rock]

it wont be PG-13

[Late For Reality]

Jared was on "House Of Wax", which had an OC-like cast. That was Rated-R.

[dead breed]

Horrible casting news imo

I think you guys are playing elitist cards here. First of all, the dude is already working in the fantasy genre...so plus....he's a name that will make more money for the movie...plus....he's a good actor....plus. I would venture to say some of you haven't even seen this dude act before. He's good.

[Dr. Awesome]

didn't care for house of wax not too bummed about the choice but horror movies should just stick to the best casting formula: No Names

[King_ov_Hell]

I like that Supernatural dude.

[King_ov_Hell]

but hopefully the rest of the cast won't be filled with young OC-wannabes.

I hope it is, 'cause I love watching them "perfect" cunts being butchered.

It more or less revolves around the studios pressure to keep knowns alive in these kinds of movies.

However I do like a MALE lead. Way too many female leads these days, obviously these movies are designed around a female lead. However the Friday series has always been good with male leads and characters.

Tommy Jarvis comes to mind, the 3 actors who played the character were all good enough in my book and the character of Jarvis himself gave Jason a rival and motivation outside of just killing for revenge.

[cmurdur]

^^^2 actors played Jarvis.

Part 4 - Corey Feldman
Part 5 - John Shepherd
Part 6 - Thom Matthews

I count Part 5 as sort of the Tommy Jarvis Trilogy even though it really doesnt fit well with Part 6 compared to just using 4 and 6 as examples.

[Gatsu18]

I'm just worried on how much they are planning on changing it up. I don't want him to be just a serial killer in a hockey mask. I want him to be just a zombie serial killer in a hockey mask.

All in all it's the little things that get me through the day heh.

Part 4 - Corey Feldman
Part 5 - John Shepherd
Part 6 - Thom Matthews

damn, I couldn't even tell Matthews and Shepard apart. I thought it was the same guy.

[choptop2]

Considering Feldmen was a kid when he played Jarvis and the other guys were in their mid 20s shouldn't the movies have jumped a few years. Taking place in the future???


Wait am I thinking too much about the f13 franchise?

[réÐþÁ†µ]

Shouldve is the key term.

I always found it odd that they went on to portray John Shepherd as merely a year or afew years older than what the character was in Part 4. That said, I think Part 6 nailed it right on as its not clear how long Jarvis was in an institution except for several years have passed between Part 6 and Part 4 and if you debate it with the experts on the series. Some lean one way or the other on whether or not Part 6 does or doesnt ignore Part 5.

[pastor_ice43]

Keep in mind that in all reality, there is about 5 years between 4 and 6.....while 6 takes place in 1986, part 4, even though it was released in 1984, still takes place in 1981 along with parts 2 and 3. Parts 2, 3 and 4 all take place within a week or two of each other. Tommy in 4 could easily be 12-13 years old, which would put Thom Matthews at around 17-18 years old in 6. I think 5 takes place 3 years after 4, and then 6 takes place 2 years after 5.
