I have so many ideas for new Jason movies. No doubt they won't make any of my ideas. I hope they will at least make a new Jason movie.

My idea:
A sequel to Jason X. He's captured upon re-entry of Earth and immediately put into the Police Force as their secret weapon, since no one knows about him and he's proven to be indestructible. They use him as a special enforcer on jobs when they don't want to get their hands dirty but still want to wage war on crime, but after one job, he's accidentally damaged in a freak eent that both stops his target criminal and knocks his transmitter off. Finding him exactly the same as after all his missions, they take him back to headquarters for his next mission, but wakes up along the way and proceeds to slaughter the crew-members inside his station.
At least, if I was given control of the series, I would use that one.

There's a reason why the only horror film set in the Arctic has been The Thing. It's not a great concept for building chills, i concur with this, apart from the Thing there was that lame part 3 in the Sometimes they come back series,which for some reason wsa called Ice Station Erebus for its original VHS release down under- but it left me cold.Its ironic that the coldest place on earth is not a good setting for a chiller. sorry to be pedantic but wasnt JC's Thing set in the Antarctic though? I saw that one two, it was where I was coming from. And Arctic, Antarctic, it's still a frozen wasteland no matter how you look at it.

Exactly, Toad. Two great tastes that go great together.

Some remake news for the film: www.fangoria.com/news_article.php?id=5463I expect this to be forked out, but I'll leave that to the others out there who have done it better and can come up with an interesting topic to follow up on it.

I'm starting to realise the term 'remake' terrirfies us 80's horror fans so much because with also comes the realisation that we are getting older............... much in the same way that the fans of universal horrors must have hated Hammer, the same as that fans of the 50's hated the 80's crop.......... which we loved.
I think it is the idea of a Friday Remake that has made me realise this.Has the bastard child of the 80's finally grown up,gained respectability and entered pop culture enough that it be deemed 'worthy' of remake status?
Have I? No fuckin way! but that said Jason is my favourite horror creation ever and I will therefore watch whatever the hacks of this day and age perceive as Jason,or Michael or Freddy,they grew up with a popculture icon but we grew up with a true horror villain.

I don't believe that, although it sounds a lot more plausible than most would ever agree. I think it's more to do with the fact that the films are being presented as just cash cows to line executives pockets rather than just trying to get some entertainment out to the fans. Back then, the films were made with a love and care for who was going to view it, and nowadays they're merely for the biggest first week opening possible. There's no love to them, and it's obvious when viewing them. Not that they're bad films (I'm guilty of liking them in they're own way) but that there's no love to them and they feel mostly hollow, with cheap storylines, bad shock jumps, cliches upon cliches instead of interesting happenings and tamed qualities instead of going for the jugular. Yours sounds like a viable reason, but I don't believe it to be the total viewpoint.

I agree with both of you to a degree. I can cop a remake when it takes the original a bit further and perhaps ''modernises'' it.. a couple of cases in point being The Hills Have Eyes and Savini's remake of NOTLD, but when they're straight shot-by-shot copies like Omen, forget it.

We've all debated those merits to death elsewhere, and to do so in a thread for a film where we don't even know if it will is a little premature, at least to my thinking.

Not a bad idea.
