Paramount’s Back In The FRIDAY THE 13TH Game

Even when they're bad, new Friday the 13th films are kind of a nice thing to have. We got a remake back in 2009 and it managed to be one of the better films to come from Michael Bay's Platinum Dunes label. If even they didn't screw it up, imagine what might happen in the hands of some real badasses.

Maybe now we won't have to imagine. According to THR, Warner Brothers has traded its rights to Friday the 13th as well as the rights to any further South Park films, all for an opportunity to get in on Christopher Nolan's Interstellar.

It is a deal so insidery and boring that I can barely read the details without falling asleep. But I definitely remember the part which states Paramount only gets the rights for five years. So if they want to do something with it, they need to get started pretty soon. If they hurry, they might be able to squeak by with two new Jason films.

Not that Paramount has more badasses on staff than Warner Brothers, but I have high hopes for future Friday the 13th films simply because they've become so rare. Plus, it will be interesting what excuses creators can come up with for a character who has been taken into outer space and was able to merge franchises with A Nightmare on Elm Street. You probably know where I'm going with this. Star Trek Into the Working End of a Machete, baby.

Damn, I thought this was going to be a new F13 video game

More movies would be good though!

IMO The only reason why the 2009 remake wasn't a total clusterfuck was because of Paramount's co involvement. Who the hell knows what would've happened had it stayed in the hands of Warner Bros/New Line.

Bias yes, but this is nothing but good news for the franchise overall.

As I am of the mind that Friday the 13th in the hands of Paramount was always watchable, including Jason takes Titanic.

Once it got into the hands of then New Line, it was...hard to watch.

Jason the Demon aka Jason Goes To Hell - How the fuck New Line greenlit that shit is beyond me, it was like they really used it as an advertisement for potential crossovers that never happened on screen, yet some were made into comics.

Jason the Astronaut aka Jason X - Again, how the hell they thought this would make good coin is beyond me
Freddy vs Jason - The best 'movie' New Line did featuring Jason, but Robert Englund basically carried the whole damn thing

I thought the same thing!

I enjoyed the remake myself, but I am happy as hell this has happened. Jason X was dumb as hell, Jason Goes To Hell had some enjoyable stuff in it (tony the wonder Llama still cracks me the hell up), and I loved Jasons look in the movie, but the storyline was dumb as hell. They completely just made up random shit and oh yeah...Jason was barely in it!!! I did enjoy Freddy Versus Jason though.

Looks promising that we will have new Jason somewhere in the next 5 years. It'll be interesting to see where they go with it. I think people have been wanting a Jason Voorhees, Tommy Jarvis reunion for awhile now. That would be cool.

Hoping for two films, back to the basics of what made it awesome

I say keep bringing them out...i'd rather see him kill then not see him at all!

plus we can always toss the classics on if we need to

[Joe Grisly]

Man, I can't wait to hear about a new F13 movie. Bring it on!

[Chief Falling Rock]

There were all those rumors for awhile about Jason killing people in the snow. That would be really cool I think, but I believe it would only work for a segment or 2. I mean how many people wanna see Jason kill a bunch of slutty teenager girls fully clothed in big parkas for an hour and a half
