i'd find that too weird.

 

tarantino and a slasher movie? seems kind of... at odds.

 

i like tarantino's stuff. horror movies are generally stupid. i don't know. maybe he'd make it good. i just don't like stupid horror movies.

ummm.. have you ever seen from dusk till dawn?

[Ruettiger]

He only did the screen play for that movie.

[mrs jesus]

He only did the screen play for that movie.

yeah.. soooo.. why would it be so weird to think of him doing a slasher movie?

[Ruettiger]

Its not weird that it's a slasher, it's weird he's taking on the Friday the 13th series, also he's doing more than just the screenplay this time.

[mrs jesus]

i don't think it's weird, it's not like violence is a new thing for him.

 

i wonder if he will make it worth watching...

[Dan #3]

It's Tarantino, it's got no choice but to be totally kickass.

[mrs jesus]

yeah i'm gonna have to disagree on that one, although i do agree that quentin's a badass ;)

[CaptainRocket]

It'll probably be pretty good. I wonder though, what his take will be on it; his work is very self-aware when it is campy. As long as this doesn't stray into the self-parody route that most slasher flicks are taking, I think it could be a fresh take on a stale product.

[mrs jesus]

let's hope so

 

i need to be wooed after kill bill

You didn't like Kill Bill? Was it the first or second half that killed it for you?

[Kitch_Man]

will this be a remake of the 1980 original...or another silly sequel?

 

I think ever since Part IV:(The Final Chapter) they went downhill...Well Part 6: (Jason Lives) is an entertaining exception.

tarantino's as overrated as the day is long

Friday the 13th with ninjas?

[orgasmi]

nah man, taking on friday the 13th is totally his style, he's such a postmodernist, all about play with previous styles to bring new meaning... i'm actually pretty stoked to see what he'll do to the slasher genre!

[calumania]

He had better add characters. I can see him doing it.

Tarantino: I'm not directing next Jason movie

 

Note to New Line: Don't take Jason Voorhees' hockey mask off the shelf just yet. Last week, according to the Hollywood Reporter, the studio was said to be in talks with Quentin Tarantino to write and direct The Ultimate Jason Voorhees Movie, which would mark the 12th installment of the Friday the 13th franchise, as well as the director's first job for a studio other than Miramax. But the report was premature, Tarantino said over the weekend. The Kill Bill filmmaker was in London to accept the Icon of the Decade award from Empire, the British movie magazine, and he told Empire that, while New Line had spoken to him about a Jason movie, he was not planning to make one.

''Whats happening with Friday The 13th? Nothing at all! Its a complete lie,'' he told Empire, whose awards were chosen by a poll of 12,000 readers. ''I like Jason and everything, but Ive no intention of directing a movie! New Line talked to me about it, but it was a complete fabrication, that article. I would love to do a horror film. Im just saying its not going to be Friday the 13th.''

 

Tarantino said his next project would probably be his long-gestating World War II drama Inglorious Bastards, though he said he had yet to compile the scenes he's written into a shooting script. ''I hope to give you at least 15 more years of movies,'' said the 41-year-old, who added that he would then quit filmmaking and Hollywood altogether. ''I'm not going to be this old guy that keeps cranking them out. My plan is to have a theater by that time in some small town and I will be the manager -- this crazy old movie guy,'' the former video store clerk said. ''I've made enough money that nobody even needs to show up at the theater. It's just having something to do.''

dead niggеrs > tarantino

[ecnarf]

I think he just took a shot at Clint Eastwood...

[redragon]

When I first heard about this I didn't know what to think, then the fact that it was a rumour came out and I found myself letting out a sigh of relief. I love Friday The 13th, easily my fav horror series hands down. And while i love a respect Tarantino and his work I just don't see it fitting. Now I hear they are working on a prequel to Friday. God help us all.

[Spritzup]

You do realize you're ressurecting a thread that is over a year old. Nobody cares...

 

Move on people, nothing to see here.

[redragon]

and you're adding to it. thanks.
