Friday the 13th: Mother's Day

Yep, I figured now is a good time to make this thread.

They're turning the first of a few Friday the 13th novels into a feature film. By "they," I mean me and my friends. Normally I wouldn't make a post like this in the Media Centre, but we're starting to get some serious recognition from horror websites and possibly some magazines and stuff (Fangoria). This movie is becoming bigger than anything I or the director could have ever imagined. Here's the article-

The Platinum Dunes remake of Friday the 13th, currently on hiatus.....
The future of Friday the 13th looks grim....and the fans have nothing to look forward to..

But from the deep woods of New England comes a glimmer of light.....
A small rag tag group of young filmmakers have taken on the ambitious project of doing a film adaptation of one of the first original Friday the 13th novels to come out. That novel is the first of Eric Morse's Camp Crystal Lake novels, Mother's Day, Berkley Books 1994.

The story takes place after the events in the film JASON GOES TO HELL. Jason has been sent to hell. A hunter digs up Jason's hockey mask and puts it on. He is possessed by the evil of Jason and terrorizes a group of campers who have decided to camp at the site where Camp Crystal Lake once existed.

For Director/Producer Cory Stevens this has been a three year journey to translate Morse's young adult novel onto the big screen. But it has been a labor of love for this young film student, who has financed this film out of his own pocket.

The production got an added boost when the author, William Pattison (who wrote the novel under his pen name Eric Morse), gave Stevens and the production his support. Pattison has joined the production as Executive Consultant and will be lending the production his voice talent in an important voiceover role.

The production also features a cast of talented young actors. They include Mali MacConnell, Benjamin M. Santos, Corey A. Lucas, Dave Conte, Nicole Lillie, Stephen LoVerme, Allyson Smith. It also includes Paul Bradicich as old man Varner, and Derek Jimenez as the murderous the hunter, Joe Travers.

Principle photography started during the summer of 2006. It is currently on Winter break and will finish in spring of 2007. The film will be released on the internet on April 13th 2007.

Currently, there are three trailers available on the internet. Also the filmmaker has released two sneek preview scenes from film and a behind the scenes clip on the internet. These trailers, scenes, clips, as well as the script, stills, and cast and crew interviews can be seen at the Official movie page here!

This is turning into one hell of a fan film... Could be big. The author has been backing us, and might even help us to try and get people at New Line to check it out. He thinks this film could have the power to revitalize the series! Regardless, I'm super stoked about it, and wanted to help spread the word. Look for the film to premiere on the internet on Friday, April 13th.

Jam it back in, in the dark.
