New 'Friday the 13th' TV Series Features Jason and His Family - /Film /Film New ‘Friday the 13th’ TV Series Will Feature Jason Voorhees and “His Wacky Family” Posted on Thursday, April 24th, 2014 by Russ Fischer Jason Voorhees isn’t just getting a new movie; he’s getting a TV series, too. While there was a Friday the 13th TV series in the ’80s, that show didn’t feature Jason. Instead it was about a group of people seeking to find and preserve magical artifacts — like a haunted Antiques Roadshow. (David Cronenberg even directed an episode!) This new Friday the 13th TV series, however, will be oriented squarely around Crystal Lake, the people who live there, and Jason. Oh, and Jason’s “wacky” family. Deadline reports on the show, which is envisioned as an hour-long drama, and comes from Emmett/Furla/Oasis Films and Crystal Lake Entertainment, with original Friday the 13th director Sean S. Cunningham as executive producer.

Here’s where it gets weird, and seemingly very derived from Sleepy Hollow, not to mention primed for the CW. Bill Basso and Jordu Schell are scripting, and the basic mandate is a story that “re-imagines Jason in multiple time periods.” And Deadline says this, which really has the Friday fan in me giving the side-eye: The series is contemporary, focusing on the eclectic characters of Crystal Lake who are forced to confront the return of the killer, as new secrets about his wacky family are revealed. “His wacky family.” Is that a phrase that Deadline just cooked up, or one which came from conversations with producers? That said, the idea of looking at Jason as a recurring phantom that terrorizes multiple generations of Crystal Lake residents could be fun, so long as we don’t see too many secrets of the Voorhees family. Frankly, I don’t want to know that stuff. I see Friday the 13th movies to see Jason kill people in inventive ways, and that’s about it. The “mythology” that has built up over many sequels is fun, but it’s not really the point.

Roy Knyrim (Gods And Monsters) of SOTA FX will oversee makeup effects for the show. Jason Voorhees | Horror Film Wiki | Fandom powered by Wikia Edit Jason Voorhees was born on Friday, June 13, 1946 to Pamela and Elias Voorhees [1] in the small town of Crystal Lake. Jason suffered from severe physical deformities and possibly mental disabilities, and experienced a sheltered childhood; he did not attend school and the only contact he had was with his mother. [2] However, during the summer of 1957, Jason attended Camp Crystal Lake , where his mother worked as a cook. Unfortunately, his disturbing appearance earned him ridicule and persecution from the other children, who, on one occasion, teased him by trying to cover his face and calling him a "freak show". In an effort to escape their taunts, a terrified Jason ran down the pier and fell into the Crystal Lake. Unable to swim, he began to struggle and disappeared under the water. [3] [4] As a result of the camp counsellors' negligence, Jason drowns in Crystal Lake as a child.

Even though Jason DID drown, for some reason his body was never found. His mother blamed the camp counselors, Barry, Claudette, and the other counselors who were supposed to have been looking after Jason, but had been too busy having sex and talking to prevent the accident. A year later, in the summer of 1958, Mrs. Voorhees snuck into Camp Crystal Lake at night and murdered Barry and Claudette, the two teenagers that were supposed to have been watching the children. After the double homicide, the camp was closed. The double murder than led to some people calling the camp "Camp Blood". [3] The camp was deserted up until 1979 when a man named Steve Christy tried to re-open the camp that his parents once owned. Mrs. Voorhees stalked the camp, killing off Christy and six of the hired counselors. The only survivor of the massacre was a girl named Alice Hardy . She fought off Mrs. Voorhees and decapitated her with a machete. After Alice killed Mrs. Voorhees, she got in a canoe and passed out. When Alice was recovered by police, she claimed that "the boy" had dragged her under the water.

The confused police told her that, upon searching the campground, they hadn't found any boy. [3] Birth of a killer Edit Jason is sucked into Hell after being killed by Jessica Jason escaped New York and eventually found his way back to Crystal Lake . Meanwhile, the F.B.I began to realize the threat Jason Voorhees posed and took action against him. Setting up a trap, they managed to physically blow Jason's body apart. Thinking him dead and gone, they took his remains to a morgue in Ohio. But the coroner became hypnotized by Jason's still-beating heart and proceeded to eat it. Jason managed to take possession of the coroner's body and escape the F.B.I. But his dark soul could not exist indefinitely inside just anyone; he needed the body of another Voorhees to be truly reborn. Burning his way through several bodies in the process, Jason attempted to track down his only living relatives, his older sister Diana Kimble , niece Jessica Kimble , and Jessica's baby daughter Stephanie. Jessica's ex-boyfriend Steven Freeman learned from Creighton Duke—a bounty hunter determined to take down Jason Voorhees—that, as Jason could be reborn through a Voorhees, so too could he killed by one.

As Jason was reborn through the corpse of Diana, Stephen and Jessica worked together to kill him once and for all. Jessica succeeded in stabbing her uncle through the heart with a mystical dagger. After stabbing her evil uncle, Jason was dragged into Hell, by Freddy Kruger where he slowly was psychologically tortured by visions of his awful past. [1] Jason faces off against Freddy Krueger in the dream world Jason lingered in the bowels of Hell, reliving his murders at Camp Crystal Lake in a seemingly eternal nightmare. He was finally motivated to "wake up" by Freddy Krueger , a supernatural serial killer whose specialty was killing teenagers in their dreams. Posing as Pamela Voorhees, Freddy manipulated Jason into going to Elm Street in the town of Springwood , whose citizens had repressed the memory of Freddy, thus robbing him of his powers. When Jason started murdering teenagers on Elm Street, the people of Springwood began to suspect that Freddy Krueger had returned, and their fear replenished the dream demon's powers. But Freddy struggled to get rid of Jason, who began imposing on his territory and stealing his potential victims.

Losing his patience, Freddy revealed his true identity to Jason, causing a battle to erupt between the two killers, which ranged from Freddy's dream world to Jason's home of Crystal Lake. During the fight, Freddy discovered Jason's subconscious fear of drowning and exploited it by returning him to the moment he drowned as a child. But when Jason woke up from his nightmare, he was able to inflict physical damage of Freddy, ripping his arm off and stabbing him through the chest with his own clawed hand. As Freddy was finished off by his would-be victim Lori Campbell , the defeated Jason sank back into Crystal Lake. He emerged sometime later holding Freddy's severed head, which then winked and laughed; whether this was a dream or reality is unknown. [4] Jason X (Non-Canon to the Original Timeline) Edit Jason is destroyed and rebuilt from scratch as the cybernetic "Uber Jason". By the year 2008, Jason had been captured by the U.S. government and was being held at Camp Crystal Lake Research Facility. Government researcher Rowan LaFontaine led several attempts to execute him, but was unsuccessfully due to Jason's uncanny ability to regenerate damaged body cells.

Eventually, Rowan decided to cryogenically freeze Jason until they could find out what else to do with him, but the government already had plans to make profit by studying his regenerative powers. Jason managed to break free from his contraints and murdered several soldiers in the facility, before Rowan lured him into the cryonic chamber. Just as she activated the cryogenic suspension, Jason stabbed through the door with his machete, freezing them both inside the sealed chamber. As the centuries pass, Earth became too polluted to support life, with mankind moving to a new planet called Earth Two. Jason and Rowan were finally discovered in the year 2455 by a group of students on a field trip to the abandoned world. They took the two bodies aboard their spacecraft, The Grendel, and succeeded in reanimating Rowan, but declared Jason deceased. When Jason thawed, he proceeded to murder everyone aboard The Grendel. Although the ship's team of soldiers, led by Sgt. Brodski, did their best to repel the killer, only the android Kay-Em 14 was successful in destroying Jason, blasting his body apart.

Jason's corpse was left in the medical station, where his body was rebuild by the computer's advanced nanotechnology. The computer replaced his missing body tissue with cybernetic technology, transforming him into "Uber Jason", who attacked Rowan and the students again. They distracted Jason with a virtual reality simulation of Crystal Lake, while Sgt. Brodski attempted to repair the damaged ship. As the others escaped, Brodski sacrificed himself by maneuvering himself and Jason away from the survivors and into the atmosphere of Earth Two, where they were apparently burned to death and landed in a forest lake. All that appeared to remain of the terror that was Jason Voorhees is his charred hockey mask; with this, it would appear that Jason was truly and permanently dead. [11] Remake Edit The Freddy vs Jason version of Jason Voorhees. Another timeline featuring Jason Voorhees exists that was created by the 2009 re-imagining of Friday the 13th . To see this character's information on this version of the character go to Jason Voorhees (remake timeline) .

Powers and abilities Edit Even as a living human, Jason possessed uncanny resistance to harm and injury, managing to survive injuries that would either kill or disable others, such as being stabbed in the shoulder with a machete (Part 2), being hung, and even receiving an axe to the head (Part III). Furthermore, Jason either cannot feel pain or has a high tolerance for it, showing little reaction to injuries such as having his hand split down the middle with his own machete (The Final Chapter). Even after being impaled through the eye with his own machete, he still showed some signs of life. After he is unintentionally resurrected by Tommy, Jason has become more powerful than ever before. Jason is superhumanly strong and durable, casually shrugging off bullets, being burned alive, electrocuted, and even submerged in a flood of toxic waste. In the event that he is injured, he can rapidly regenerate himself, retaining his eyesight despite being stabbed in the eyes, and even regrowing his severed fingers after his battle with Freddy Krueger .

He has displayed his incredible strength on several occasions, smashing through solid walls and wooden barriers, lifting adult humans off the ground with one hand, crushing their skulls between his palms, and at one point punching a young man in the face with such force that his head popped off his shoulders. He can also survive getting blown to pieces, in which his heart can hypnotize anyone into eating it, causing the victim to be possessed by his demonic spirit. While possessing a victim, his reflection in a mirror is that of his true form. After a while, Jason must transfer into someone else's body in the form of a parasitic snake demon, traveling from his current victim's mouth to his next victim's mouth. This will cause the previous victim to gruesomely melt away. He can also leave the victim's body in the form of a Hellbaby. In order to be fully reborn as himself, he must possess the body - whether it be living or dead - of another Voorhees. Jason is essentially immortal, having survived several apparent deaths, and even being resurrected through various means, such as a bolt of lightning (Jason Lives). Both Freddy Krueger and Pamela Voorhees have stated that, no matter what, Jason can never truly die.

Though he was apparently killed and dragged into the depths of Hell by Jessica Kimble , even this proved to be a temporary death thanks to Freddy's manipulations. Jason appears to be able to breathe underwater and often uses water to his advantage, typically by drowning his victims. When he is subjected to a regenerative nanotechnology process in Jason X and transformed into a cyborg, Jason becomes even stronger; his strength is enhanced to the point where he can punch through solid steel, he is completely bulletproof, and can survive in the vacuum of space unaided. In addition to his various superhuman abilities, Jason has shown to be skilled in the use of various weapons, both melee and ranged. Even the simplest of tools can become a deadly weapon when in Jason's hands, ranging from an ice pick (Part 2) to a simple heated rock (Jason Takes Manhattan). Jason is also highly intelligent and a master of stealth, being able to set up different booby traps. On numerous occasions, Jason often stalks an entire group of people at once. On these occasions, he easily avoids detection, and picks off the group members one by one without anyone else noticing.

Weaknesses and vulnerabilities Edit Despite his great power, Jason does have a few notable weaknesses: Despite having used water to his advantage on several occasions and regularly swimming since his resurrection, Jason does appear to be afraid of water to some extent, which Freddy used to his advantage to nearly drown him in Freddy vs Jason . If trapped under the waters of Crystal Lake by any means, such as chains, Jason will be immobilized and unable to escape without outside help. His mother as evident in Friday the 13th Part 2 and Freddy vs Jason . When he hears his mother or sees her he stops what he is doing and pays attention to what she tells him. Supposed Deaths The following is a list of times Jason Voorhees is killed or supposedly killed in the movies. Before the main events of the series, Jason drowned in Camp Crystal Lake. In Friday the 13th Part III, Jason was struck in the head with an axe by Chris Higgins. In Friday the 13th: The Final Chapter, Jason was impaled through the skull with his own machete and then hacked apart by Tommy Jarvis.

In Friday the 13th Part VI Jason Lives, Jason was chained to the bottom of Crystal Lake and Megan Garris ground his throat up with a boat's propeller blade, breaking his neck. In Friday the 13th Part VII The New Blood, Jason was dragged to the bottom of Crystal Lake and chained there again by the soul of Tina's father after she summoned him. In Friday the 13th Part VIII: Jason Takes Manhattan, Jason is covered in toxic waste, burning his face, and is then swept away in a wave of waste that transports him back to Crystal Lake. In Jason Goes to Hell: The Final Friday, Jason was stabbed in the heart by Jesicca Kimble and dragged to Hell. In Jason X, Jason was knocked down towards Earth 2 where he was burned in it's atomsphere by the reentry. In Friday the 13th (2009), Jason was stabbed in the chest with his own machete by Whitney Miller. In other media Edit Jason appeared in some episodes of Robot Chicken. In one of them, he stalks and kills the Scooby Doo gang.

In another episode, That Hurts Me, he appeared alongside other horror movie villains - namely Freddy Krueger , Michael Myers , Ghostface , Pinhead , and Leatherface - on the Big Brother show. Jason's role is relatively minor. While playing charades with Michael and Leatherface (none of the three can talk), he did the robot and the funky chicken (Robot Chicken), though Freddy says that the answer was the Da Vinci Code. Jason appears in Angry Video Game Nerd. He is forcing the Nerd to play his game on NES, and whenever the nerd would act up, and say anything negative about the game, he would threaten to kill him. After the Nerd has enough of the game, he knocks Jason unconscious with the controller, and blasts his head off with the Zapper. Jason also appeared in episodes of Family Guy, It Takes A Village Idiot, and I Married One. He talks in a sophisticated voice and is interviewed on the lake being cleaned, though he stabs two girls dead. He is also the manager of a store and threatens to kill the clerk if she screws up. He also appears in Killer Queen along his son. He also appeared in the spoof movie Stan Helsing as an antagonist.

Like Leatherface, he has the least screen time. His appearance is changed to that of a hockey player (as a reference to his hockey mask), with a red hockey shirt and wielding a hockey stick as a weapon. He is renamed Mason. He and Michael are the third and fourth to be defeated; Stan pulls on their masks, and, after Teddy sprays ketchup on them, kicks them out through the door where they are eaten by Sammyboy the dog. Ironically, he is played by Ken Kirzinger, who played Jason in Freddy vs Jason. Victims Alice L.

 Coffee Break LATEST NEWS Jason Voorhees is suiting up again and this time, he is bringing his machete to television.

According to Deadline , The CW is bringing "Friday the 13th" to series on its broadcast network. Although die-hard fans would love to see this, there may be a few out there that are wary. This is due in part to the 1987 " Friday the 13th " series that did not feature Voorhees, nor anything inherent to the classic slasher movies. It was instead an episodic series that feature two people who inherit an antique store and must track down and recover cursed furniture. Advertisement But Deadline reports that this new series is going to be a true Voorhees series, taking place in the fictional Crystal Lake. The report suggests that the series will centre around a detective whose brother went missing some time ago and his disappearance is somehow connected to the notorious serial killer Jason Voorhees. In the show, it is believed by the characters in the story that Jason has long been dead. Horror website Bloody Disgusting reports that these characters are forced to deal with the return of Jason. All the while, the detective still searching for his missing brother will also have to deal with the monstrous killer.

Advertisement The series has been described as a more reality based show that shows Jason as less of a superhuman monster and more human, with average strength like that of a normal man. Deadline indicates the series follows a successful run of 12 movies featuring the masked killer, including the "Freddy vs Jason" spinoff and the remake film from 2009. CW president Mark Pedowitz spoke about the project at the TCA event on Tuesday. "I'm a big believer in titles and franchises," Pedowitz told the crowd at TCA Tuesday. "It makes them break out of the pack in some ways." Special Features – Does Friday the 13th Need Jason Voorhees? Special Features – Does Friday the 13th Need Jason Voorhees? January 21, 2014 by admin 10 Comments Luke Owen looks at Jason’s possible exclusion from the next Friday the 13th…. It was an exciting time to be a Friday the 13th fan when Paramount announced they had re-acquired the rights to the iconic horror franchise with a view to release the 13th chapter in an already packed 2015.

However the excitement became concern when rumours started to bound around that the movie might take on the ‘flavour of the month’ found footage format. Ironically the concern then became horror as producer Brad Fuller not only confirmed the rumour in an interview, but also mentioned (when asked about Derek Mears) that Jason may not be appearing in the movie at all. The 13th instalment of Friday the 13th may not include Jason Voorhees. Just let that sink in then ask yourself, ‘why?’. While not 100% official, there is little doubt that the next instalment won’t have some involvement from Sean S. Cunningham, the man who created the series back in 1980. Since returning to the series with New Line Cinemas in the early 90s, Cunningham has served as a producer on all Friday the 13th related movies, including Freddy vs. Jason and the remake. So if it is the case that Cunningham is involved with this next entry with Paramount, then we at least can at least take one educated guess as to why Jason might not be in the movie. Sean S.

Cunningham left the Friday the 13th franchise after 1981’s Friday the 13th Part 2 in which a fully grown Jason (who didn’t drown in Crystal Lake afterall) is a deranged potato sack wearing hermit who stalks would be camp counsellors. Cunningham’s original plan for the franchise following the film’s release was to make a new film every year that would focus on a new set of characters with a new killer, like a big screen slasher version of The Twilight Zone. Paramount on the other hand saw potential in the Jason character and pursued with him as the main star and without Cunningham’s involvement. The third movie, Friday the 13th Part 3 (which was filmed in eye-popping 3D), was a landmark movie in the franchise as it was the debut of Jason’s hockey mask, a look that would become synonymous with the character. The following movies were huge successes for Paramount, often being their second biggest earner behind Star Trek, but after the failings of Friday the 13th Part VIII: Jason Takes Manhattan, Cunningham acquired the rights to work with New Line Cinemas on the proposed Freddy vs. Jason.

When putting together the ninth film, Jason Goes To Hell: The Final Friday, he made no secret that he was not a fan of the now iconic hockey mask. His one request to the those putting the film together was to “get him out of the mask”, feeling he wasn’t the Jason he had created (hence why he is barely in the movie). Knowing these two tidbits, it would be safe to assume that Cunningham is perhaps the instigator of Jason’s possible exclusion in the upcoming movie. However, if Cunningham isn’t involved with the movie, then let’s look at why Paramount would still move forward without Jason. And the answer to that is simple; perhaps they think the franchise has become stale. Should 2015’s Friday the 13th get made with Jason as the lead villain, is there any question on what the plot will be? Teens go to camp, they get cut up by Jason in a hockey mask. Is there really any tension in knowing exactly what is round the corner? Like it or not, this is a franchise that has more or less been the same film over and over again repeated ad nauseam.

The only exceptions are the oft mocked Friday the 13th Part V: A New Beginning and the aforementioned Jason Goes To Hell: The Final Friday, both of which feature an “impostor” version of Jason Voorhees. While both are much maligned by the horror masses, these are the two movies of the franchise that at least tried something new that wasn’t taking him into space. A new Friday the 13th movie without the Jason element hanging over it and controlling its movements allows for some new ideas and also provides the opportunity to realise the notion of making the series a yearly horror anthology tradition. But with that said, there are four words that surround that last couple of paragraphs: what is the point? In short, why make a Friday the 13th movie without its iconic character? In 1982 John Carpenter and Debra Hill produced Halloween III: Season of the Witch, a movie that, at the time, was intended to be the first stepping stone in making the Halloween franchise a horror tradition – much like Cunningham wanted to do with Friday the 13th.

But while many movie goers rejected the movie for being a bloated, poorly acted mess, the horror masses (and Halloween fans) called for its blood as it was missing – in their minds – a crucial element: Michael Myers. With the movie meeting a frosty reception, the Halloween series was put on ice until 1988 when the franchise was reborn with Halloween 4: The Return of Michael Myers. Looking back on the movie with the power of hindsight, it seemed silly for Carpenter and Hill to make a Halloween movie without The Shape, but at the time it probably felt like the right thing to do given they’d killed the character in the previous movie. They would have had no idea that a Michael Myer-less Halloween movie would receive such a negative reaction given that at the time of release he was not the face of the franchise. Now referred to as “the one without Michael”, Halloween III: Season of the Witch is, like the Jason-less Friday the 13th‘s, universally hated by all apart from those who appreciate it for what it was trying to do. Could 2015’s Friday the 13th be the franchise’s Season of the Witch?

The difference between Halloween III: Season of the Witch and a Friday the 13th without Jason is that in 2014, the most recognisable elements of Friday the 13th are Jason and his hockey mask. Even people who have never seen a Friday the 13th movie know who Jason Voorhees is because he is such a big part of the pop culture zeitgeist and to leave him off the show screams of idiocy. It would be like making a James Bond movie without James Bond, Godzilla without Godzilla, The Muppets without Kermit the Frog. You could do all of those and they would certainly be interesting as well as creatively challenging for those involved, but they’d ultimately be pointless. The fans going to see those movies are looking to see their iconic character. There is nothing wrong with change and change should be embraced, but the change needs to have a good reason behind it. Paramount need to realise that Jason is the face of Friday the 13th and next year marks the 35th anniversary of that. Pandora’s box has been opened and it cannot be closed.

Making the new Friday the 13th movie found footage is bad enough, but to not have Jason in it would be dumber than putting him in space.

Trivia This was Mark Nelson 's first feature film, and when he went in for his first audition the only thing he was given to read were some comedic scenes.

Nelson received a call back for a second audition, which required him to wear a bathing suit, which Nelson acknowledges made him start to wonder if something was off about this film. He did not fully realize what was going on until he got the part and was given the full script to read. Nelson explains, "It certainly was not a straight dramatic role, and it was only after they offered me the part that they gave me the full script to read and I realized how much blood was in it."

Friday the 13th is one of the films that to this day still has repercussions. It demonstrated the importance of setting the tone in horror movies, making the audience themselves feel as if they too were being stalked. Cunningham also was one of the few directors to introduce the idea of a possible female serial killer. Without this film, Scream's Randy would have never uttered those famous words, 'There are certain rules to surviving a horror movie..' This film combined with Carpenter's Halloween, firmly etched the rules in stone. The creepy music, the infamous "ch-ch-ch-ha-ha-ha", the crude photography and the graphic depiction of the murders of the counsellors all blend together to give a classic piece of film history.

It scared the hell out of multitudes of teenagers who, in many instances could see themselves in the victims of the stalker. These weren't bad people getting killed, these were just your typical average American kids, having a good time, getting picked off. That is what makes this film so defining, that is why, for all its crude and harsh imagery, this is a classic. This is why alot of recent attempts at horror don't measure up. It's not the effects or the blood necessarily, it's the atmosphere and the familiarity that bring it home.It is more frightening to think, "That could be me" 82 of 104 people found this review helpful.
