Michael Bay to Produce Friday The 13th Remake

Here's an excerpt...

By Borys Kit

LOS ANGELES (Hollywood Reporter) - "Transformers" director Michael Bay is reviving the "Friday the 13th" franchise through his low-budget production company.

The remake of the original 1980 horror classic, which turned the villainous Jason into a cultural icon, is being produced for New Line Cinema by Bay's Platinum Dunes banner. Platinum Dunes was also behind the revival of "The Texas Chainsaw Massacre" and "The Hitcher."

In the original "Friday the 13th," the serial killer made only a brief appearance in the final frames and never killed anyone. Jason didn't even don the famous mask until the third movie. The remake, however, will focus on Jason -- who will wear the mask and kill -- and keep the famous setting of Crystal Lake.

Well, "Transformers" wasn't half as bad as I thought it was going to be.

And, then, there's uh, well, there's, uh....

He started off well enough with his first project, "Playboy Video Centerfold: Kerri Kendall." But since then he has just been making exploitative trash.
