Source:  The Hollywood Reporter
Movie PictureJared Padalecki (Supernatural) has signed on to star in the remake of Friday the 13th. Marcus Nispel is directing.

According to The Hollywood Reporter, Paramount unleashed the original Friday The 13th in 1980, introducing the hockey-masked, horror icon Jason. The remake will focus on the masked serial killer, with Padalecki playing the lead, who investigates what happened up at Crystal Lake.

Padalecki next appears as Thomas Kinkade alongside Peter O'Toole and Marcia Gay Harden in Lionsgate's Home for the Holidays, slated for a December release and based on the life of the artist.

Friday the 13th will be released none other than Friday, Feb. 13, 2009.

I like to think i'm a step above those next gen kids. And it won't be pg-13. That's bull.
  (Delete)
March 24th, 2008 5:52am
if its PG-13 I will personally rape all the 13-17 year olds who try to see this movie.
  (Delete)
March 24th, 2008 5:23am
in the world we live in today, kids don't like the old horror movies! thats why all these classic's get re-worked. to suit the next generation of horror fans, which, to be fair.... isn't really to our taste! but thats life!!
  (Delete)
March 24th, 2008 5:20am
and there is no point thinking this is gonna be a masterpeice! it's just a horror movie that won't most of us cause we have seen it all before!! but the the young kids (13-18) they are one's who this aimed at.
  (Delete)
March 24th, 2008 5:18am
there is no way they will make this PG-13!! thats just stupid talk, really!! what horor remake have they done that was made PG-13? none that i can think off! if they go in the same direction as"Texas chainsaw: Beginning" then it will be watchable.

Also I might add, it wasn't until the third one that Jason got his hockey mask. He got it from the weirdo kid....

Whatever direction the Re-Make goes, whether they follow the plot of the "ORGINIAL", or go inthe the direction about someone who who investigates what happened up at Crystal Lake it still is a stupid silly idea!!!

I just hope it doesn't turn out to be PG-13, or just mindless laughable crap like the Re-Makes of "The Fog" or "Halloween"!

March 22nd, 2008 7:59pm
duh why would they cast a little guy to play big old jason
  (Delete)
March 22nd, 2008 7:36pm
Actually it says he's going to be investigating Crystal Lake, he's not going to be Jason
  (Delete)
March 22nd, 2008 3:56pm
