Friday the 13th Gets a Michael Bay Transformation
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.
