Here Today... Gone To Hell!

IGN writes, "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 this happen it will kick ass.

now that i would love to see hope thats true

Man just think about this is a nough to almost giver me a woody.

I cant imagine Quentin Tarantino doing a Friday The 13th but I must say its very interesting

I can't imagine how he'd bring anything fresh or new to the genre ... but then again he is Tarantino!  Should be interesting to see what he comes up with.

Well as all the man can do anymore is gore then i suppose this is a natural avenue for his career to descend into

I'd hardly say Vol. 2 is "gore"

I'm not sure Jackie Brown was exactly "gore" either.

Shut your hole Izzy....Tarantino has always been violent and he also directed part of Dusk till Dawn which was horror/action so....shut up.

Just what we need! Another Jason movie. :P

He Killed Bill, But Tarantino's Passing On Jason

Looks like Jason's hockey mask is gonna gather dust a little while longer, because the only thing getting killed these days is the rumor that Quentin Tarantino would be helping resurrect Camp Crystal Lake's most famous inhabitant.

"What's happening with 'Friday the 13th'? Nothing at all. It's a complete lie," the director said Tuesday night at the 10th annual Sony Ericsson Empire Awards in London, where he received a trophy for Icon of the Decade. "I like Jason and everything, but I've no intention of directing a movie. New Line talked to me about it, but it was a complete fabrication, that article [in The Hollywood Reporter.] I would love to do a horror film. I'm just saying it's not going to be 'Friday the 13th.' "

Had he signed on for the project, it would have been the first time he made a movie outside of Miramax Films. The rights to the Jason Voorhees character and title "Friday the 13th" were acquired by New Line Cinema from Paramount in 1991.

Internally referred to as "The Ultimate Jason Voorhees Movie," the 12th installment of the series will follow up 2003's "Freddy Vs. Jason," which featured Destiny's Child member Kelly Rowland having a run-in with Jason.

With Martin Campbell ("GoldenEye," "Mask of Zorro") directing the Bond series remake of "Casino Royale," rumors of Tarantino picking up that project look like they've been iced too.

It might be a "Royale with cheese" that he'll be sinking his filmmaking teeth into instead ? Tarantino has expressed an interest in making a Vega brothers prequel based on John Travolta's Vincent Vega character from "Pulp Fiction" and Michael Madsen's "Toothpick" Vic Vega from "Reservoir Dogs."

We already know that the lantern-jawed cinema junkie likes to tease fans and take his sweet time bringing his public musings to fruition. So what project is on the horizon now, and how distant is that horizon? "My next film is probably going to be 'Inglorious Bastards,' " Tarantino told England's Empire magazine. "I've written scenes. I've written a lot of it, but now I have to sit down and start putting it together in a script that I can start shooting."

Without a shooting script for the "Dirty Dozen"-esque homage, any movement on the project is sure be slow. He's been kicking around ideas for the World War II picture for a while, but "Kill Bill" slowed his progress. Tarantino has expressed an interest in having action pros Sylvester Stallone and Arnold Schwarzenegger and even funnyman Adam Sandler take part in the film. Until then, fans can look forward to his work behind the lens for the May 19 "CSI" season finale.

i thought Freddy vs Jason was fantastic!

the reason that worked however was because the storyline was believable in the way Freddy went to Jason's dreams and fucked with him and shit

it made sense and worked very well.

i dont think they could pair up 2 other icons though cause it wouldnt make sense. i would love to see an ultimate Friday the 13th movie

not sure how they could go about it

i would love to see an old school type horror movie, fuck all the computer animated shit, all the high dollar special effects, go back to the hardcore old school way of making a scary flick

Thanks for the info!
