From Moviesonline, "Reports from the cool cats at B.D. are suggesting that the "Friday the 13th" remake that was being slated for an October release has been halted and is still up in the air on whether or not it will start production. Jonathan Liebesman (Darkness Falls) was signed on to direct the script written by Mark Wheaton. A few cast members have also already been cast in various roles, including Gary and Jake Busey. Corey Feldman has also signed on for a cameo which would make this the 3rd Friday the 13th film he has been in.
Not much is known about the movie except that the movie will focus on hockey mask killer Jason Vorhees doing his usual thing. Which actually has already put an interesting twist on this "re-make" as the original movie had Jason's mother as the suprise killer. Whether or not they intend to go with the supernatural origins of Jason has not been confirmed.
The reason for production being stopped is reportedly an issue with obtaining the rights to the series. It makes me wonder exactly what kind of creative liberties they are planning to go with in this movie if the folks who own the rights aren't willing to sell out. They already have on numerous occasions already."

The "supernatural origins" of Jason? Huh?
He never dies. If they try to explain that further, it's awful. Look at Jason #9.
Yeah, what's really left to say about Jason? Basically it was all stated in the first film, and part 2 I guess.
