Watch MTV's 'Friday the 13th' Set Visit Video
Earlier this week, we learned that Jason Voorhees will be wearing both the burlap sack and the iconic hockey mask in the new Friday the 13th remake (or is it technically a remake of the first three movies?). Now, in honor of today being 2008's only Friday the 13th, MTV (one of the new film's co-producers) also shares a report from the set of the movie. They don't have anything as interesting to tell us as IESB.net did with the headgear news, but they do have video coverage, which you can watch above.
Any fan of the franchise should be excited after watching this footage. We get to see a hot young actress (Amanda Righetti) running through the woods, a dilapidated cabin, a sign telling us its Camp Crystal Lake and an overlong view of the hockey mask prop. That's almost all the ingredients needed for a Friday the 13th movie (it sounds so easy to do, right?). Oh, and finally we get to see the actor portraying Jason (Derek Mears) wearing ... a t-shirt and no make-up.
What, you thought they were going to unveil the monster on camera for us? Even though we already know exactly what he'll look like, we probably have to wait until at least the first trailer to get those goods. Well, at least there's a description of Mears partially dressed and made-up as Jason over in the written half of MTV's set visit coverage. I don't know if we needed to learn that Jason has "killer abs" or that off camera Mears is super friendly, but otherwise the physical details are enough to give us a clear image of the new Friday the 13th baddie.
The remake arrives in theaters February 13, 2009.

(Page 1)2. i cant believe they are remaking friday the 13th with a pg-13 rating. thats not a good sign. these remakes need to be rated -r. like rob zombies halloween, even though its not a 4 star movie ,[ i give it 3 stars] he had the balls to make it rated -r . it hard now to come up with a new and fresh story with scary movies now a days. you know when people will get killed and you know when there not

1. Looks good. I hope it will be taken a bit more serious ala some of the recent remakes/reboots (texas chainsaw, halloween, etc.) rather than some of the ultra camp sequels towards the later half of the films. Hard to tell with the peak...
