The FRIDAY THE 13TH series is in the toilet. For the time being. We all know this all too well by this point in time. But once the powers that be behind the scenes can finally stop fighting and bring us more Jason, I guess we'll have to get by with fan films and pitches from the likes of… Mr. Kane Hodder.
For those of you that (somehow) might not know, Kane Hodder is famous for playing Jason in John Carl Buechler's FRIDAY THE 13TH PART VII: THE NEW BLOOD, FRIDAY THE 13TH PART VIII: JASON TAKES MANHATTAN, JASON GOES TO HELL, and JASON X.
He says:
I'd like to see, if, in fact, they say this is the final one, I'd like to see some of the characters that survived come back, like Corey Feldman's character (Tommy Jarvis), and somehow written into the story why they're back. It could be an interesting storyline, having people that survived Jason come back. 'Oh, I remember that girl' or, 'I remember that guy from previous movies and they never got killed.' I think it could be an interesting storyline. So many lifetime horror fans that have watched every Friday movie, I think it'd be fun for them to see faces they recognize.
Would he be up for returning as Jason?
I just think that when they do do a 13th one, it certainly couldn't hurt to bring me back as Jason, unless it's in 20 years, maybe. But it certainly couldn't hurt the success of the movie, I don't think, having the only person that's played the role more than once to come back for the final one. I think that part would be interesting.
The last time we saw Hodder as Jason on the big screen was in JASON X. That movie was directed by Jim Isaac from a screenplay written by Todd Farmer. Sean S. Cunningham produced along with Isaac and his son, Noel Cunningham. Buy it on DVD HERE.
