The topic of the purported remake-to-come of the first Friday the 13th film came up between the boyfriend and I over the weekend - he's giddy at the thought, I'm a wee bit skeptical except for the whole "Patricia Clarkson will play Mrs. Voorhees" rumor, which is incredible - and sure enough, as if the world were listening, more news on the thought-dead project comes today via Cinematical:
Listen, if they get Patricia Clarkson on board this thing, I will buy my ticket today. Otherwise... this really doesn't seem like a movie dying to be remade. Just, ya know, make a new one! With a budget! There's a thought.

"according to a very reliable tip from some dude who went to a New Jersey Horrorcon -- the project IS moving forward... Yes, that's right: The Friday the 13th re-do thingy is due to hit theaters "by July," so everyone warm up those hockey masks and grab that machete off the wall! Producer Andrew Form is the guy behind the project...
Mr. Form also assures us (and by "us," I mean the fans who don't really want a remake in the first place) that he will fight tooth and nail to keep his Friday an R-rated venture. As if one could actually make a movie called Friday the 13th and somehow deliver a PG-13 rating. Frankly, the fact that he even has to assure us makes me pretty damn skeptical...
For the record, Andrew Form's producerography includes titles like The Texas Chainsaw Massacre (2003), The Amityville Horror (2005), The Hitcher (2007), and a romantic comedy starring David Schwimmer."

lol, I love the end bit with the producer's titles. All remakes and a David Schwimmer romantic comedy without a name.
I, too, would see this with Patricia. I'd see most things with Patricia.
