Jason is coming to life in “Friday the 13th” remake

10796.jpgAnother remake of a horror classic is in the works. This time, its the classic “Friday the 13th.” It is being produced by Platinum Dunes for New Line and will feature Damian Shannon and Mark Swift as its head writers.

Paramount released the original “Friday” in 1980, making Jason — the unstoppable hockey mask-wearing killer — a horror icon, though the serial killer made only a brief appearance in the final frames of the first movie and never killed anyone. Jason didn’t even don the famous mask until the third movie.

The remake, however, will focus on Jason — who will wear the mask and kill — and keep the famous setting of Crystal Lake.

The duo’s boarding pumps a blood transfusion into the project, setting it up as a possible prestrike project. The writers are no strangers to Jason, having penned 2003’s “Freddy vs. Jason,” the killer’s last big-screen appearance. That film grossed more than $82 million domestically.
