Heh, heh. I just wanna see someone in this film ask another character what happened in the previous film's battle between Freddy vs Jason: "Fred's dead, baby. Fred's Dead"

Ugh, I hope Jason kicks the crap out of him.

I wanna see Jules from Pulp Fiction take on Jason! My money is on Jules (after all, God is protecting him!)

Would be interesting.

I'd like to see different directors take on the James Bond Films. If any series needs a boost...that's the one.

The only Jason I've seen recently and remembered was "Freddy Vs. Jason" and I have no idea why I wanted to see that and even bought it (probably because I love the "Elm Street" movies)! It was OK but if Quientin where to do somehting with Jason or Freddy and Jason, I'm sure it wouldn't suck! Might not be one of his best, though.

Can't be worse than the other movies I guess.

Word is that the new script is based on Casino Royale, the first Bond book (which was made into a parody film in the sixties). The studio has decided to do the film as a prequel, telling of his first mission as a spy, essentially starting Bond all over again with a young actor. So, anyone who was a fan of Judi Dench and John Cleese in the past few films will be dissapointed, but otherwise it sounds okay.

As a fan of both bad horror and good Tarantino, this is kinda exciting to me. Something in me thinks it won't even happen. Tarantino seems to always be attached to 10 different film or TV projects at a time, but only ends up releasing one film every 10 years or so. More information a story at E!online a few days ago:

Tarantino to Kill Jason?

by Josh Grossberg
Mar 8, 2005, 11:50 AM PT

Now that he's killed Bill, Quentin Tarantino may be ready to tackle Jason.

The maverick Oscar-winning writer-director is meeting with New Line Cinema executives to discuss resurrecting hockey-masked slayer Jason Vorhees for a new installment in the studio's highly profitable Friday the 13th franchise that would resurrect hockey-masked killer Jason Voorhees.

New Line and Tarantino first began discussing the idea of the Pulp Fiction filmmaker reinventing the big-screen slasher after the studio's plans fell through to make a follow-up to its 2003 hit Freddy vs. Jason.

That campy flick saw Jason go weapon-to-weapon against New Line's other horror icon, dream-weaving slayer Freddy Kruger of A Nightmare on Elm Street series fame and was the last celluloid foray for the Friday the 13th baddie.

New Line had originally set out to persuade director Sam Raimi to license his Evil Dead hero, Ash, for a sequel aptly titled Freddy vs. Jason vs. Ash, but those dreams were dashed when the deal fell apart. Raimi has plans for his own Dead remake.

Tarantino would be tasked with reviving the moribund Friday franchise, which had long ago stumbled into self-parody as Mr. Voorhees bid adieu to the cozy confines at Camp Crystal Lake and set out for the big city (Jason Takes Manhattan), paid a visit to the underworld (Jason Goes to Hell) and even managed a trip into space (Jason X).

Not unlike Jason, the cinematically sadistic Tarantino is known for dreaming up creative ways to dispatch characters, from the ear-offing scene in Reservoir Dogs to the brain-splattering in Pulp Fiction to the blood orgies of Kill Bill: Vol. 1 and Vol. 2. New Line is undoubtedly hoping the Pulpmeister would help Jason recapture his scariness and make a killing at the box office.

And don't think directing a Friday the 13th would be beneath the Tarantino: He's an avowed fan of low-brow fare.

The director, who helmed the 1995 blood-soaked "Mother" episode of ER, signed on two weeks ago to write and direct the season finale of CBS' hit series CSI. He's also aiming to shoot another kung fu saga--this one entirely in Mandarin--that will hit theaters in 2006.

Before getting the Friday feeler, Tarantino had volunteered to direct an installment of the James Bond franchise. Although the notion was seconded by erstwhile 007 Pierce Brosnan, Tarantino's offer was turned down by the Bond producers who have tapped GoldenEye helmer Martin Campbell to direct the upcoming Casino Royale.

If all goes according to Hoyle, a Tarantino Friday the 13th movie would be the first flick he would make outside of Miramax. However, reps for both New Line and the director are cautioning fans not to get their hopes up just yet.

"It's premature at this point," says a studio spokeswoman. "It's just a meeting."

speaking of Quentin


some of ya'll know who Gordon Liu is?...he was in both Kill Bills...

Master of shaolin style Gung Fu.. who was in such shaw brothers films as

"return to the 36th chamber" ( 1980)
"Dirty Ho" ( 1979 )
"Shaolin Vs wutang" ( 1984 )

...and Gordon, in more than one of his film's, fought the villianous Pei Mei, whom he portrayed in KBv2.

JediMaster said:

wasnt it "Mei Pei??"

TheRealFiness said:

Nope. Pei Mei

It can also be spelled "Pai Mei"

Gordon Liu Jia-hui (Lau Kar-fai in his native Cantonese) is one of the most recognizable and popular stars of Old School, Shaolin-style kung fu movies. He was a mainstay for over a decade at Hong Kong's legendary Shaw Brothers studio, where he established his close-shaven image as a populist martial monk from the legendary Shaolin Monastery, defending the downtrodden from imperialistic Manchu oppressors and helping to disseminate knowledge of the martial arts throughout China. He assumed this role for the first time when his older 'godbrother' Liu Chia-liang (Lau Kar-leung) cast him in the international hit The 36th Chamber of Shaolin (1978), known in its dubbed American version as The Master Killer.

Liu was born in Guangdong (Canton) China in 1955. His real name is Xian Qixi, which he Anglicizes as Louis Sin. When his family moved to Hong Kong they lived for several years near the martial arts school run by the legendary Hong Gar style kung fu instructor Lau Charn, who traced his martial pedigree back to turn-of-century master (and frequent film subject) Wong Fei-hong. The future star began studying with Lau sifu at the age of seven, at first unbeknownst to his parents. The actor has been incorrectly identified as either a blood relative or the 'adopted son' of his teacher Lau Charn. In fact, Lau became his favorite student's godfather in a private religious ceremony, and like many other martial arts and Peking opera performers, the performer later adopted his teacher's surname as his stage name. Gordon is thus both 'god brother' and 'martial brother' to Lau Charn's biological offspring, director/choreographer Lau Kar-leung and performers Lau Kar-wing and Lau Kar-ying.

The name he performs under has added to the confusion: Although the Cantonese form of his name, Lau Kar-fai, is more correct, Gordon has continued to use the Mandarin transliteration that appeared in the credits of his most successful films: Liu Jia-hui. He acquired the additional given name Gordon during his student days at English elementary and high schools in Hong Kong in the 1960s.

After graduation from high school Liu worked for a time in an office as a file clerk before following elder godbrother Lau Kar-leung into the movie industry in the 1960s. He made his film debut as a leading in 1973 in director Chang Cheh's Shaolin Martial Arts, which enjoyed only limited success. He then spent several years playing small roles and working behind the scenes for the quasi-independent production company Chang Cheh had established in Taiwan under the Shaw Brothers banner. Liu was re-introduced as a leading man in 1976 when Lau Kar-leung returned to Hong Kong to launch his career as a director: Liu played the legendary turn-of-the-century martial arts master Wong Fei-hong in Lau's Challenge of the Masters (1976), and finally became a star when he shaved his head to portray martial monk San Te in The 36th Chamber of Shaolin (1978).

Gordon Liu appeared in such Old School classics as Lau Kar-leung's Shaolin Challenges Ninja (1978) and Legendary Weapons of China (1981). Liu is also a very deft and gifted comic actor, as witness his performances in Lau's landmark kung fu comedies Dirty Ho (1979) and Return to the 36th Chamber (1980). He also directed the highly regarded Shaolin and Wutang (1984), a revisionist look at one of the bitterest rivalries in all of martial arts.

Liu has continued to work regularly in Hong Kong cinema, in films such as Peacock King (1988), Tiger on the Beat (1988), Last Hero in China (1993), Drunken Master III (1994), and Generation Pendragon (1999). He has won a whole new generation of fans in Asia in recent years for his comedy and action roles in several successful television series, most recently in the 18-hour 2003 mini-series Shaolin Dizi (Shaolin Disciples).

Gordon Liu appeared last year in the first new period martial arts film produced by Shaw Brothers in over two decades, Drunken Monkey, with 'big brother' Lau Kar-leung back in action behind the camera. His Shaw Brothers classics are in the process of becoming widely available again for the first time in decades, as re-mastered Hong Kong-market DVDs.

Gordon would be my Ultimate Sifu ( teacher)

this sounds like an interesting project.

XxAxX said:

Bob Saget is supposedly making a cameo.

sinisterpentatonic said:

I think I'm the only one not excited about this project. Tarantino must be tryin' to ruin his career.

AnckSuNamun said:

IMO Kill Bill already did that, but lots of people loved it.

animal said:

Yeah, you're in the minority on that one. Kill Bill is my favorite Tarantino movie. I never went crazy over Pulp Fiction and Reservoir Dogs.

sinisterpentatonic said:

True. It will be revealed at the end of the film that all these years Jason was just a puppet of the Evil Bob Saget. Saget was controlling him, via a pact with Satan.

JediMaster said:

please tell me you're jokin'. You know, sometimes I just miss the slasher movies with no plot or twist.

AnckSuNamun said:

It makes sense. Saget is the source of all that is unholy.

JediMaster said:

Danny Tanner in a Jason movie? oh boy, these people better know what they're doin'. But you can't get any worse than Jason X, imo.

AnckSuNamun said:

No, I doubt Saget will be in a Jason movie. I'm just bustin' XxAxX's balls here.
