Last Friday, which happened to be a Friday the 13th, screenwriters Damian Shannon and Mark Swift shared some pages from the script they wrote for the unmade sequel to the 2009 version of Friday the 13th (watch it Here). In those pages, we got to read the description of a scene where a character would have been killed by iconic masked slasher Jason Voorhees while riding down a zip line. But those weren’t the only pages Shannon and Swift shared from the script last Friday. They also unveiled a couple pages that reveal what happened to Jason’s dad – and you can read them in this embed:

Damian Shannon and Mark Swift were the writers who cracked the Freddy vs. Jason story and pulled that project out of development hell, where it had been trapped for a decade. Six years later, when Warner Bros. teamed up with Paramount and Platinum Dunes for a Friday the 13th reboot, Shannon and Swift were again the writers. (You can hear all about that Friday the 13th in our latest Wtf Happened video.) Since the reboot made over $91 million at the global box office on a budget of $19 million when it was released in February of 2009, it was no surprise when it was announced that it was going to receive a sequel, to be shot in 3-D and released on August 13, 2010. Then the studios couldn’t agree on the money split, so the sequel was shelved… but not before Shannon and Swift had already written the full script. Today, to celebrate Friday the 13th,...

For a while there, it wasn't looking good for Nana Visitor who plays Mrs. Voorhees in the upcoming Friday the 13th . Reports from an October test screening said she was cut along with young actor Caleb Guss (lil' Jason Voorhees). Producer Brad Fuller wants to make one thing clear: "Mama Voorhees is in the movie. Little Jason is in the movie. There was a time they were not in the movie, we were having problems with a scene. We figured it out, and now they're in." That's good news, no? Also promising: "We enhanced two deaths [after the test screening]. When we watched them with an audience, we were not getting the reaction we wanted so we made them better." Fuller and co-producer Andrew Form are also quick to clarify that the recently released...

There are rumors circulating on the web (one such place here) that Pamela Voorhees (played by Nana Visitor) has been cut from New Line Cinema's Friday The 13th. We have confirmed that not only has Pamela been cut from the film, but so has little Jason Voorhees (played by Caleb Guss). The news comes after a recent test screening in Long Beach, California where a handful of lucky horror fiends got to see Jason's new destruction. Obviously, this was a "test screening" so it's quite possible they could both reappear in the final cut of the film on February 13, 2009.
