Friday the 13th part...which part are they on now??

Apparently, Jason still lives, because I just read that they are planning another Friday the 13th movie (Jason should just be a ghost by now - he can still kill people that way - c'mon Jason - DIE ALREADY!). Looks like Quentin Tarantino wants in on all the Jason action...

LOS ANGELES (Hollywood Reporter) - Quentin Tarantino is considering writing and directing a new installment in the long-running "Friday the 13th" horror film series.

Tarantino is in early talks with New Line Cinema, where he is scheduled to meet with executives this week.

The original "Friday," released in 1980 and featuring the hockey-masked killer Jason Voorhees, spawned a series of sequels, including the 2003 hit "Freddy vs. Jason," in which Jason squared off against Freddy Krueger from the "Nightmare on Elm Street" series.

New Line tried to make a sequel to "Freddy vs. Jason" involving the "Evil Dead" character Ash, but it couldn't reach a deal with "Dead" rights holder Sam Raimi.

According to those familiar with the discussions, Tarantino is intrigued with the idea of playing with one of the movie's classic horror villains. If the project does develop, it could be the first film Tarantino directs outside Miramax Films.

The filmmaker, whose credits include "Reservoir Dogs" and "Pulp Fiction," recently signed on to direct the season finale of CBS' "CSI: Crime Scene Investigation."

~ All I can say to this is that I am glad Sam Raimi didn't let them suck Ash into this whole Jason nonsense. Ash would definitely kick Jason's mangled, burned, hacked-up, bag of bones as* anyway. I think I stopped watching Friday the 13th after the 3rd part. I am sure Jason is looking pretty nasty around now. I don't know how you could not know he was coming. He must stink pretty bad by now.
