Tarentino and Jason ?
 

This is some weird news:

Tarantino Boards New Friday the 13th Movie?
Source: IGN Filmforce
March 7, 2005


IGN Filmforce is reporting that "Kill Bill" helmer Quentin Tarantino is in talks to write and direct The Ultimate Jason Voorhees, a new "Friday the 13th" movie at New Line Cinema.

While Freddy vs. Jason vs. Ash never came together, this new project will be a co-venture between New Line and Paramount Pictures. The site adds that the movie is on the fast-track and could get underway as early as this year.

A rep at William Morris Agency told the site that Tarantino has "not yet" been offered the job, however.

how credible is the site?

it's on BD too

QT's Friday the 13th?
 

So, Ain't It Cool News is reporting that there's a rumor going around the Hollywood horror community about Quentin Tarantino wanting to write and direct some kind of Friday the 13th movie. I doubt it would be a sequel as much as a remake. That, of course, rides on whether there's an ounce of truth to this rumor.

I've got a feeling this won't happen....

Re: QT's Friday the 13th?
 

That would be a hell of an interesting remake, i think?:)

yeah it will not happen, I bet my booty. My booty of two dollars.

It could work well but knowing Tarantino's style it would end up somewhere along the lines of Scarey Move/Scream. He'd just cram it with "has-already-been-done-1000000-times" jokes about the genre.

I've got a feeling, wishing this won't happen...

That Tarantino asshole probably make Jason talk too...with his quasi absurd misplaced dialog....

Taranitino can make good movies, but I don't know how well he'd be at making good horror movies. There was a decent amount of blood in Kill Bill and there were some interesting parts of Pulp Ficition, though I don't think it's enough to make a decnet horror flic.

"Get my Machete."
"Which Machete is that?"
"The one with 'Bad Motherfucker' on it."

Tarantino was involved with a horror flick: From Dusk 'Til Dawn. And it sucked.

arghh NO IT DIDNT !!!

I agree with you, urge. I really liked From Dusk Til Dawn!

i loved it, clooney was awsome

I thought Tarantino was good, too. He gave me the creeps! The Asian kid who played the son was good, too. Oh hell, the whole cast was good!

a lot of people were turned off by it when it switched gears 1/2 way through ..

which is one of the reasons i DID like it ..

Tarantino didnt direct ! but he did a decent actor job in this exellent movie

I think Tarantino could possibly do a good job....It's not as if the Friday the 13th series could get any worse.....

he has a talent for capturing the origional flavor of things .. he has a great eye.
He'd be able to reproduce the same atmosphere as the 1st one but with a bit of tongue in cheek....

i think he'd do a great job...

I like Tarantino and I think he can do a great job. He will definetly make a much more interesting plot than the past few jason movies. It will be much more an improvement compared to Freddy vs Jason and Jason X.

What?! From Dusk Till Dawn and Freddy vs. Jason are fucking classics :mad:. Tarantino probably would do a great job in some ways but what's the point? The whole tongue in cheek shit was done with Scream. I think he'd be better off making a good original slasher instead of retreading old ground.

I just heard about this today from another source and I'm now hearing that it could be either a remake of a Jason movie or an addition to the series that would ignor Freddy vs. Jason and Jason X.
First off, a remake, we don't need it, the Jason series is still going techniclly because Freddy vs. Jason is like another instalment to both Nightmare and Friday series.
Second, why go a direction that would ignor events that have taken place. It would not be that hard to pick-up at the end of Freddy vs. Jason and put Jason back at Crystal Lake and make a movie that would explain the beginning of Jason X.

Personaly, I don't care much for Tarantino's films.

This dosen't sound like a good idea. I can't imagine a Jason movie where everyone stands around discussing thing for most of the run time.

Maybe they'll ask John Woo next and Jason can go after people in slow motion with two .45s.

Friday The 13th 12:************* ****** *********

Starring:Harvey Keitel,Uma Thurman,John Travolta,George Clooney

*cough*HALLOWEEN*cough*

you all forgot tom savini's roll in dusk till dawn and his cock revolver. Tarantino has made some gory films anyhow and he has a really good eye for color and shadow. I feel he'll really be able to bring out the desperation in the characters/victums. But opinions are like ass holes.

From what I understand this new movie is going to be along the lines of having comic characters or some other horror serial killers in it. my mom works for a payroll office that does the payroll for movies and this is what she head from people she works with.

I only hope that QT decides not to go that route for Jason vs other horror characters or comic characters. Although Jason vs Myers would be interesting.

90 minutes of the two killers just looking at each other.

There is no part 11......vs dont count as a sequel in the series

yes it does it still involves the Friday the 13th story

just because its part of the story doesn't mean its part of the franchise.

Well I didnt take the time to read this whole thread but I'm going to throw my two cents in anyways. Forgive me if I am repeating stuff that's already been said...

I am stoked if this all actually goes through. QT is an awesome director that could spark some life back into a series that was once pretty sweet, but has since kind of fallen off... (Jason X is good for a few laughs and that's about it.) QT could make this series kick ass again! And quite possibly even respark a lot of public interest in the slasher genre as a whole. (That means we would get a whole slew of new slasher films. Some would inevitably suck, but who knows? Maybe the next Halloween is right around the corner and a successful QT Friday the 13th could be just what it needs to get off the ground and into production.

That's my take.

I'm not huge of fan everything QT has done, but he does do violence well and this franchise needs that back. Over the sequels it has evolved into cartoon violence and the scares have dwindled. I think he can bring back the frights that we came to expect decades ago.

Not a fan of everything he's done, eh?

I struggle to anything he's been directly a part of (And not just lent his name to for production) anything less than awesome.

Reservoir Dogs
True Romance
Pulp Fiction
Jackie Brown
Kill Bill

Not to mention, From Dusk Til Dawn and 4 Rooms.

I'm not putting you down or anything because you're entitled to an opinion too, but I'm just curious... Which of those weren't you a fan of and why?

He may dislike most of Qt's stuff for the same reason i do:

they are all Style over Substance

This is the same reason i dont care for italian or Japanese movies for the most part.

you must think Jackie Brown is OK then ?

it was pretty straight foward ?

I've only seen parts of it, but i did like what i saw. I laughed hysterically when deniro shot bridget fonda. That was definatley a cathartic moment.

No ! vs is a new serie....but you probably mean that "Jason vs Freddy" is "Friday the 13 part 11" and "Nightmare on elm
street 8" .....but its not....They even talk about a sequel to "Jason vs Freddy"...but you would probably call it :
"Friday the 13 part 12 vs Nightmare on elm street 9" :D

Loved Reservoir Dogs and True Romance(but this was written by QT, not directed by him , so technically it is a "Tony Scott film"), thought Pulp Fiction was entirely overrated, never managed to sit through all of Jackie Brown or any of Kill Bill. From Dusk Til Dawn was sort of two movies. It started out as one movie and ended as another, but I'm not against that per say. Parts of it were totally unecessary. 4 Rooms was one of the most underrated (a lot of people have never even heard of it) movies. Funny as hell.

What specifically didn't I like about Pulp Fiction of Jackie Brown? I couldn't really say. They just did nothing for me. I wasn't all that entertained.
