Transformers helmer Michael Bay is reviving the Friday the 13th franchise through his low-budget Platinum Dunes production shingle (which also gave us revalidations of The Texas Chainsaw Massacre and The Hitcher). According to the Hollywood Reporter, Bay's remake, unlike the original 1980 story, will focus on Jason — hockey mask (which technically he didn't adopt until Part 3) and all — while keeping the setting of Crystal Lake. Plus, in a pinch Jason can shapeshift himself into a Trans Am.

Friday the 13th
Producer Michael Bay, who in addition to Pearl Harbor has brought us intentionally frightening fare such as remakes of The Texas Chainsaw Massacre and The Amityville Horror, now is setting his sights on resurrecting Jason Voorhees in a Friday the 13th redo.

Djimon Hounsou
The Island, the big-budget action flick directed by Michael Bay, had blockbuster written all over it, but finicky moviegoers decide to skip the flick in favor of a certain candy man and some wedding crashers.

The 41-year-old actor, who was nominated for an Oscar for 2002's In America, tells TVGuide.com that he's already got his next role in his sights.
