March 07, 2005 - IGN FilmForce has learned that none other than Oscar-winner Quentin Tarantino is in final negotiations to write and direct the Ultimate Jason Voorhees Movie, an all new Friday the 13th for New Line.
While the rumor mill had long suggested that the next movie might be Freddy vs. Jason vs. Ash, that project never came together for a number of reasons.
Fans will instead be treated to the Ultimate Jason Voorhees Movie. The project will be a co-venture between New Line and Paramount Pictures. It is expected to be a "quickie" that could get underway as early as this year!
Tarantino's production company, A Band Apart, referred us to the William Morris Agency. A rep at WMA would only advise us that Tarantino has "not yet" been offered the job while refusing to elaborate any further.
If there's any (ultra-violent) filmmaker who could make Jason cool and scary again, it'd be the man who resurrected Travolta. I just wonder if the movie will be retitled Kill Jason?

I know I'm good at what I do, but I know I'm not the best.
But I guess that on the other hand, I could be like the rest.

Well, i saw the first 6 Friday the 13th movies when one of the danish channels had a idea to send them every saturday. I saw them all in hope of that one of them would be better than the others. But no, they all sucked bigtime.
I mean, horror movies can suck, most of them do, but at least villains like Freddy or even Warlock had style. Jason are just some big animated dummy in a hockey mask.
The only reason i saw Freddy vs Jason were in the hope that MAYBE Freddy could make the movie interesting, but even that didnt work. I doubt any new "let the dummy in the mask we killed 14 times before" movie would be worth seeing. Sure if its Tarentino, there will be blood and violence and style, but i doubt its enough. A villain need STYLE to be scary, a hockey mask was enough in the 80'es, its not enough any more.
