2009’s first foray into horror movies begins with a remake of the original Friday The 13th .This isn’t an extension of the series of sequels that followed the original. Instead, this will be a different take on the original story, with more digging into Jasons’ horrifying past. This credible-looking remake of Friday The 13th has been directed by Marcus Nispel — no stranger to making blood curdling massacre movies. He has been associated with remakes of ‘The Texas Chain Saw Massacre’. Set for a February 13th release, the movie also traces the relationship between Jason and his maniac mother. Perhaps, this is one remake which is bound to be good. Just look at the team that is handling the project — along with Michael Bay and Nispel, you have the screenplay writers of the last movie in the Friday the 13th series, i.e. Freddy vs. Jason. Amanda Righetti will be portraying the female lead and her character of Whitney is central to the resistance that is put up against Jason. Amanda has seen her acting scale rising with many appreciated performances as Grace Pelt in the hit CBS TV series — The Mentalist. Amanda even admitted that she didn’t actually read the script when accepting this movie. Just being a part of the Friday the 13th franchise and the presence of Michael Bay were sufficient for her.
