Friday the 13th fan film project...

So I've been working on a script and trying to convince this rich guy that's been a friend of my family forever to invest (he's kinda hesitant but I can still dream) in investing to get the project rolling... Basically it's a reimagining of Friday the 13th and deals with what Part 5: A New Beginning set up...

The plot goes like this thus far:

Tommy recalls the events from Friday 1 with Voorhees' crazy mom, Jason surfacing in Part 2 as the bag-head, most of the events of Part III&4 with Jason getting his hockey mask and little Tommy killing the hell out of him... Then it'll follow Part 5 with Tommy getting released from the looney bin to the rehabilitation center and Roy going on his killing spree... The twist will be the original idea for A New Beginning with Tommy donning the mask and reaping havoc on the newly opened Camp Crystal Lake.
all of the scenes from the original films will be reshot/updated and so forth.

Hoping to get the funding, team up with fellow fans/prop&mask makers/film buffs and make a true fan film (as in created by nothing but fans/no greedy Hollywood execs that butcher source material). I know not many Jason fans will take a liking to the Tommy Jarvis bit, but I feel a gritty, no holes barred but realistic approach to the series would be not only fun but make an original psychological and sleek slasher film based on everyone's favorite killer.

Any interested parties, PM or post away! Should have the script done pretty soon and will be posting it on here =]

Best,

Jimmy
 
Is there really a point in posting script work on here? Like... Will I get griped at and so forth?
I don't take criticism well! Hardy har har.

Anyway, a couple of scenes I'm plucking from the script will show up on this thread... Kind of just for the hell of it, the investor said and I quote, "Friday the 13th just seemed so droll and repetitious. It's like the same plot recycled over the span of the pointless series"......... I don't know how to respond to such words. Might as well throw the script work on here since the project seems dead even before it was birthed.

Meh
 
I will be posting the introduction to the script here soon... Just tweaking some of the dialogue and making sure the plot points match up.
Made a mock poster for it though, I think it looks perty kewl:

Here's the intro leading up to the first kill... Hopefully someone can get some enjoyment out of it:




ACT ONE – SCENE ONE – CAMP BLOOD AND THE ORIGINS OF HORROR

EXT. CAMPFIRE – CAMP FOREST GREEN (PRESENT DAY) – NIGHT

Several teenagers (Sara, Frank, Alyssa, Dewey and Curtis) sit around a campfire laughing and roasting marshmellows.
Jacob, a camp counselor sits next to Madeline; a long haired brunette; with his guitar. He strums a few cords and clears his throat.

DEWEY
JAKE, MAN, TELL US THAT ONE STORY…

JAKE
WHICH?

DEWEY
YOU KNOW, MAN, ABOUT CAMP
CRYSTAL LAKE AND THAT PSYCHO.

MADELINE
(Sarcastically)
OH, GOD, HERE WE GO.

ALYSSA
I HEARD ABOUT THAT, LIKE,
IN THE LATE 70s OR SOMETHING.
BACK WHEN FOREST GREEN WAS
CALLED CAMP CRYSTAL LAKE,
RIGHT?

CURTIS
YEAH, SOME WICKED CRAZY
OLD BROAD HACKED UP ALL
THE CAMP COUNSELORS AND
THE BITCH GOT HER HEAD HACKED
OFF WITH A MACHETE!

FRANK
SUPPOSEDLY, HER RETARD
SON CAME BACK AND STARTED
MURDERING EVERYONE AFTER
TO GET REVENGE OR SOMETHING…
WHAT WAS IT THEY CALLED
THE CAMP AFTER?

JACOB
I’M NOT-

TODD
(OS)
CAMP BLOOD.


The teens give a jump as Todd, another camp counselor, walks up from the darkness of the surrounding trees towards the campfire.


TODD
ISN’T IT A BIT PAST YOU
KIDS’ BEDTIME?

DEWEY
MAN… I’LL SLEEP WHEN I’M DEAD.
I WANNA HEAR ABOUT CAMP BLOOD.

TODD
WELL… SO BE IT.


Todd squats down next to Jacob and Madeline and takes a swig from his flask, he hands the flask to Jacob and reaches into his back pocket to grab his pack of cigarettes.


TODD
WHERE TO START?

SARA
START WITH THE MOM!
YOU KNOW, THE ONE FROM THE
NEWSPAPERS AND THE LEGEND.


Todd nods and pops a cigarette in-between his lips, lighting it.


TODD
ALRIGHT… THE MOM, AS YOU PUT IT,
HER NAME WAS PAMELA VOORHEES…
(He takes a drag)
SEE BACK IN THE GOLDEN DAYS, THE
CAMP WAS A PRETTY POPULAR PLACE…
NOT LIKE YOU KIDS SEE IT… PEOPLE
USED TO COME HERE TO LET LOOSE
AND ALL THAT JAZZ… FOLKS BACK IN
’56 DIDN’T HAVE IPHONES OR XBOX’S
AND DIDN’T GET SENT TO CAMP AS
PUNISHMENT FOR BEING TROUBLE-
MAKERS OR LAZY COUCH DWELLERS.

CURTIS
I RESENT THAT.

TODD
I’M SURE.

SARA
’56? LIKE 1956?

TODD
THAT’S RIGHT… THAT’S WHEN
MRS. PAMELA VOORHEES WAS HIRED
HERE BY JOHN CHRISTY AS THE CAMP
COOK. SHE WAS A SWEET OL’ LADY-
NEVERMIND THE FACT THAT HER HUSBAND,
A DRUNK NAMED ELIAS VOORHEES,
CONSTANTLY ABUSED HER PHYSICALLY,
SEXUALLY AND MENTALLY.

JASON
ALLEGEDLY.

TODD
ANYWAY, PAMELA SEEMED LIKE
A SWEET, CARING OL’ LADY… BUT SHE
HAD THIS SON, SEE, HE WASN’T ALL
THERE… HAD A BAD DISEASE AND ALL.

JASON
HYDROCEPHALIC DISEASE.

TODD
YOU GONNA’ LET ME
TELL THE STORY OR WHAT?

JASON
BY ALL MEANS, MR. EXPERT.

TODD
ANYWAY, THE LEGEND GOES THAT
ONE DAY ALL THE KIDS STARTED PICKING
ON HER SON AND THE COUNCELORS WERE
BUSY GETTIN’ IT ON AND WEREN’T AWARE
THAT PAMELA’S SON SLIPPED OFF
THE DOCK OVERLOOKING THE LAKE
AND FELL IN.

CURTIS
JASON VOORHEES, RIGHT?

TODD
EXACT-A-MUNDO, LIL’ CURTIS!


Curtis gives an uneasy proud smile to his friends whom scoff.


TODD
STORY IS THAT JASON DROWNED,
BUT NO ONE REALLY KNEW WHAT
HAPPENED TO HIM. PAMELA WENT APE
**** AND WHEN CRYSTAL LAKE WAS
RE-OPENED IN ’58, SHE STARTED HACKING
AWAY THE COUNCELORS AND EVERYONE
SHE THOUGHT WAS RESPONSIBLE… JOHN
CHRISTY, EVEN. THEN, LIKE A PHANTOM,
SHE UP AND VANISHES.

JACOB
NO ONE KNOWS IS JASON REALLY
DROWNED OR WHAT… KID JUST
VANISHED, JUST LIKE HIS MOTHER.

TODD
TWENTY-ONE YEARS LATER,
JOHN’S OLDEST SON, STEVE CHRISTY,
RE-OPENED CRYSTAL LAKE. WHAT
NO ONE KNEW WAS THAT DEAR
OL’ PAMELA VOORHEES WAS BACK
FOR REVENGE… SHE THOUGHT ANYONE
INVOLVED IN HER SONS “DEATH” WOULD
RESURFACE AT CRYSTAL LAKE… SO
SHE TOOK IT UPON HERSELF TO
COME BACK AND MURDER THE HELL
OUT OF ALL THE COUNCELORS AND
KIDS AND EVEN STEVE CHRISTY
HIMSELF.

FRANK
*****.

TODD
EVERYONE BUT A GIRLIE NAMED
ALICE WERE SLAUGHTERED.

SARA
ALICE… ALICE HARDY, RIGHT?
THE ONE THAT-

TODD
THAT’S RIGHT… ALICE WAS
ATTACKED BY PAMELA AND MANAGED
TO CUT HER HEAD OFF WITH A
MACHETE.


CUT TO:

EXT. CAMP CRYSTAL LAKE (1979) DOCKS – NIGHT

Alice, bloody and screaming, picks up a machete from a canoe tied to the dock as Pamela Voorhees storms towards her with a large hunting knife in hand.


PAMELA VOORHEES
(In a psychotic fit)
KILL HER! KILL HER MOMMY!!!

ALICE HARDY
**** YOU!!!


Alice swings the machete and hacks off Pamela’s head from her shoulders, sending it flying through the air. Pamela drops the hunting knife and reaches up with both hands towards her bleeding stump.

CUT TO:

EXT. CAMPFIRE – CAMP FOREST GREEN (PRESENT DAY) – NIGHT

The kids’ face is filled with concern.


DEWEY
SO THAT REALLY HAPPENED RIGHT?
I MEAN, I HEARD IT WAS IN THE
NEWSPAPERS AND STUFF.

TODD
NO, NO… IT REALLY HAPPENED.
THEY CLOSED DOWN CAMP CRYSTAL LAKE
AND EVERYTHING.

JACOB
IT’S REALLY NOT EVEN THE
BIZARRE PART.

TODD
YEAH, SEE, THE WHOLE TIME…
A GROWN UP JASON VOORHEES WAS
WATCHING- RIGHT IN THESE WOODS.
HE WATCHED HIS MOTHER BEHEADED BY
ALICE HARDY AND SOMETHING INSIDE HIM
JUST… SNAPPED.

SARA
WHAT DO YOU MEAN HE WAS WATCHING
IN THE WOODS? I THOUGHT HE DROWNED?

JACOB
NO ONE EVER FOUND HIS BODY
AFTER HIS SUPPOSED DROWNING.
COME TO FIND OUT, HIS MOTHER BUILT
HIM A LITTLE SHACK IN THE WOODS AND
WOULD COME AND FEED HIM AND SUCH.

SARA
THEN WHY DID SHE KILL EVERYONE?

JACOB
PAMELA VOORHEES WASN’T EXACTLY…
OF SOUND MIND.

TODD
THE STORY GOES, JASON FREAKED
OUT AFTER HIS DEAR OLD MOMMY GOT
WHAT SHE DESERVED… HE KILLED ALICE HARDY
AND STARTED MURDERING TRESSPASSERS AND
EVEN PEOPLE IN HIGGINS HAVEN. THAT’S WHEN
HE GOT THE FAMOUS HOCKEY MASK EVERYONE
REMEMBERS HIM FOR.

CURTIS
WASN’T THE CAMP PERMANENTLY CLOSED?

TODD
YEAH, ALL THE WAY UP TO 1986… THEN JACK
GIBSON BOUGHT THE PROPERTY AND AFTER
REMODELING AND **** LIKE THAT, THEY REOPENED
IT AS FOREST GREEN IN THE EARLY 90s.

MADELINE
DIDN’T JASON VOORHEES DIE?

TODD
YEAH… AT FIRST THIS CHICK
CHRISTINE HIGGINS WHO WAS
ATTACKED BY JASON AND LOST ALL
HER FRIENDS DUE TO SUCH, SAID SHE
KILLED THE KILLER… SLAMMING AN AXE
BLADE DOWN INTO HIS SKULL.
SHE ENDED UP GETTING PUT
IN THE MENTAL INSTITUTION SO
NO ONE KNOWS IF SHE WAS
BULL****TING OR IF HIS HYDROCEPHALIC
DISORDER SAVED HIM FROM THE FATAL
BLOW…

SARA
I HEARD ABOUT THAT.

CURTIS
SHE ENDED UP KILLING HERSELF.

TODD
BUT JASON WAS FINALLY PUT DOWN
FOR GOOD BY A LITTLE KID NAMED
TOMMY JARVIS THAT DIDN’T LIVE FAR
FROM HERE.

JACOB
KID WAS A WEIRDO… USED TO
MAKE MASKS AND CREEPY ****.

TODD
YEAH… AFTER HE HACKED JASON
TO ITTY-BITTY PIECES, THEY PUT HIM
IN THE SAME LOONEY BIN.

JACOB
MY SISTER USED TO GO TO
SCHOOL WITH THAT KID.

TODD
YEARS LATER, HE GOT OUT AND
WENT TO PINEHURST FOR REHABILITATION.

DEWEY
THAT’S JUST UP THE ROAD FROM HERE!

JACOB
IT’S LONG BEEN CLOSED DOWN.

TODD
THIS GUY NAMED ROY BURNS WENT
CRAZY AFTER ONE OF THE PSYCHOS THERE
HACKED UP HIS SON AND DONNED THE WHOLE
JASON VOORHEES PERSONA, KILLING ANYONE THE
WACKO COULD GET HIS HANDS ON… **** REALLY
DID A NUMBER ON POOR OL’ TOMMY JARVIS.
HIM AND THIS GIRL, PAM-
(Thinks for a moment)
PAM SOMETHING…

JACOB
ROBERTS.

TODD
THAT’S IT. PAM ROBERTS…
YEAH, HER AND TOMMY ENDED UP
KILLING OFF OL’ ROY BURNS AND TOMMY
STOLE THE MASK AND VANISHED… NO ONE’S HEARD
FROM HIM SINCE. AND THAT WAS ALL THE WAY
BACK IN ’85.

ALYSSA
I HEARD SOMEONE WAS MURDERED
AROUND HERE LIKE TWO YEARS AGO.

JACOB
IT WAS JUST A VAGRANT…
WE CAN ASSURE YOU, CAMP BLOOD IS
NOTHING BUT LEGEND.

TODD
NOT EXACTLY TRUE… FIVE YEARS AGO,
THERE WAS A COPY-CAT KILLER THAT ATTACKED
TWO CAMP COUNSELORS IN A HOCKEY MASK.
HE SLASHED THEM UP PRETTY GOOD BUT AFTER
GETTING STABBED IN THE HIP, RAN OFF INTO THE
WOODS.

SARA
IS THAT TRUE?

JACOB
WELL… YEAH. BUT
THE POLICE FOUND HIM,
DIDN’T THEY?

TODD
SUPPOSEDLY.

CURTIS
CREEPY, MAN, CREEPY.

TODD
WELP!


Todd stands up and clears his throat.


TODD
STORY TIME’S OVER, EVERYONE TO THEIR
BUNKS.

FRANK
AW, MAN.

TODD
JUST GET ON, DON’T GIVE ME ****.
WE HAVE A BIG DAY TOMORROW.


The kids (Sara, Frank, Alyssa, Dewey and Curtis) get up, griping and head off towards the main cabin.
Jacob takes a swig from Todd’s flask and makes a disgusted face.


JACOB
WHAT DO YOU KEEP IN THERE?
BATTERY ACID?


Todd laughs and takes the flask, taking a gulp.


TODD
IT’LL PUT HAIR ON YOUR CHEST.

JACOB
OR SET YOUR STOMACH AFLAME.

MADELINE
YOU GUYS REALLY NEED TO GIVE
THAT CAMP BLOOD BULL**** A REST.

TODD
AH, WELL, THE KIDS DIG IT.

MADELINE
STORIES ARE ENOUGH TO GIVE ME
THE HEEBIE-JEEBIES.

JACOB
AH, COME ON, JASON’S BEEN
DEAD FOR OVER TWO DECADES.

MADELINE
YEAH, BUT YOU GUYS ALWAYS
END IT ON THE COPY-CAT NOTE
AND THAT JUST GIVES ME THIS FEELING
LIKE THERE’S SOME CREEPY GUY
IN THE WOODS WATCHING ME.

TODD
I’M THE ONLY CREEPY GUY
EVER WATCHING YOU… ESPECIALLY
WHEN YOU’RE TAKING A SHOWER.


Todd and Jacob laugh.


MADELINE
TODD… YOU ARE A MORON.

JACOB
NICE.

TODD
WELL I GOT **** TO ATTEND TO, YOU
GUYS STAY CLASSY.

JACOB
YEAH.


Todd starts off into the darkness.


MADELINE
REMIND ME WHY HE KEEPS COMING
BACK EVERY YEAR?

JACOB
HE LIKES TO VOLUNTEER… PLUS THE KIDS
LIKE HIM.

MADELINE
LET ME REPHRASE… REMIND ME WHY
YOU KEEP ALLOWING HIM TO COME BACK
EVERY YEAR?

JACOB
WELL… I DON’T KNOW. THE KIDS LIKE HIM.

MADELINE
THE KIDS LIKE GERRY, TOO.
AND VERONICA.
AND MAGGIE.
AND SHAWN.
AND MONTY…
AND-

JACOB
I DON’T KNOW.
HE’S MY FRIEND.

MADELINE
YOU SURE KNOW HOW TO PICK
‘EM.


Jacob chuckles.


MADELINE
WELL NOW THAT THE BRATS ARE
IN BED, I’M GOING TO GO FOR A SWIM.


Madeline jumps up.


MADELINE
CARE TO JOIN ME?

JACOB
I HAVE TO GET THE CANOES READY
FOR TOMORROW AND-

MADELINE
SUIT YOURSELF, STUD.


Madeline takes off her shirt exposing her breasts and starts off, tossing her shirt onto Jacob’s head.
He laughs and pulls the shirt off, sitting there for a moment as she starts towards the dock, removing her shorts and tossing them aside.


JACOB
AH, WHAT THE HELL.


Jacob stands up, setting the guitar aside and starts after Madeline just as she makes it onto the dock.


JACOB
HEY, WAIT UP.


He pulls his shirt off.

CUT TO:

EXT. WOODS BORDERING THE LAKE – NIGHT (Camera P.O.V.)

Someone watches from within the woods as Madeline splashes into the water and Jacob follows, stripping down to his boxer shorts.
The person within the woods breathes heavily.
Madeline laughs loudly as Jacob jumps within the lake with her.

CUT TO:
EXT. LAKE/DOCKS – NIGHT

Madeline splashes Jacob and he chuckles, splashing her back.
She screams.


MADELINE
THAT’S NOT A WAY TO TREAT A LADY.

JACOB
THAT’S BOLD… REFERRING TO YOURSELF
AS A LADY.

MADELINE
(Surprised)
UH, *******…
GUESS YOU DON’T PLAN ON
GETTING A LITTLE SOMETHING-
SOMETHING, HUH.

JACOB
WAS A JOKE, DEAR.

MADELINE
I BET.


She swims towards him, wrapping her arms around him and they start to make out.

CUT TO:






I will post more when I get around to it... Or if this even gets any recognition... Otherwise I will just link to the full script on my DeviantArt when I get around to posting it on there.
 
Tweaking the script. It's turning out good... Contemplating the real Jason coming back at the end to kill the crazed Tommy Jarvis serial killer but wasn't sure if that'd crap all over the whole alternative Friday the 13th alternate universe take =\

Friend of mine wants to go through n shoot this no matter how crappy it turns out. Found some great locations too...
 
I wonder if you could get Cory Feldman to reprise his role. (Like Walter Koenig does for trek fan films). He's not doing much lately.

Wish you luck on the project though. Getting backing on fan films is always a tough thing to get going.
 
That'd be fantastic... Probably do-able too as he's only going to be unmasked at the finale.
Wonder how I'd go about getting ahold of him =\
 
No backing. Project died. Going ahead with a personal Spawn fan flick idea. Working on costumes early Jan. Concept phase as of now.
 
I'm not trying to be sarcastic or critical here at all. It's a genuine question: Why on earth would you bother making a fan film? If you're going to spend all this time and money, why not make something original? You can't make money or exert any control whatsoever over a fan film because it's someone else's intellectual property. So why not take that passion and enthusiasm and make your own movie? Fan films, fan fiction, etc strike me as a GARGANTUAN waste of time and money.
