Warner acquired the Friday the 13th franchise! - Page 46 - Blu-ray Forum

Blu Myers · 06-05-2013, 04:48 PM

To me it sounds like Paramount has total rights to Jason for the next 5 years. In my mind that means the home video market as well. Hopefully we get some clarification on this. I know WB said that something is in the works for the blu-ray set.

DetroitSportsFan · 06-05-2013, 04:59 PM

WB is simply distributing Paramount titles on Blu-ray, so this news doesn't have an impact on the Blu-ray release. Whether WB or Paramount releases it, the content will be the same.

However....

What if Paramount/WB now wants to wait to release the boxset to coincide with either the theatrical or Blu release of the new flm?

It's my favorite as well. I wish they'd hurry up with a blu release because I want to see the movie again but I got rid of my DVD.

Devilutionary · 06-05-2013, 05:33 PM

to be honest, Jason X was the first one I picked up on DVD, others were in sets I couldn't afford at the time. I also didn't shop online as much as I do now.

My next purchase was 1 on blu, then 3, 7, and 8 on dvd. I haven't bought any since. I want them, but I can wait for a box set because I've seen them all WAAAAY too many times for it to even matter really. Same with NOES. Hence Why I waited for the box set for SOO LONG.

someone on fridaythe13ththefilmfranchise.com just asked the site owner if this would affect any blu-ray release-he said no-its coming sooner than you think.Great news.

My favorite of the series also, plus one of my all time fav films period.

It wouldn't.

The way I understand it that Warner has agreed to give up their 50% ownership of Friday the 13th and South Park to Paramount for the next 5 years, in order for them to have a 50% stake in the new Christopher Nolan film at Paramount. They haven't lost their stake in anything that already exists. This agreement only applies to new entries in the F13 series of films (and a potential second South park film). Anything that Paramount does with either franchise over the next 5 years will be the sole property of Paramount. After this new agreement expires, the 50/50 ownership between Paramount & Warner will resume, but Paramount will retain 100% control of anything that was produced between 2013 and 2018.

I'm guessing February 13, 2015

Rich1983 · 06-05-2013, 06:16 PM

This means that Paramount has five years to make as many of their own Friday the 13th films as they wish. I sure hope we see at least two (three but that might be pushing it) more movies.

WesReviews · 06-05-2013, 06:18 PM

Hmmph. In the old days, we could've seen 5 new films in 5 years easily.

As for the Blu-ray boxset... uncut versions accessible via seamless branching or GTFO.

My fear is that Paramount will make a found footage film then release sequels for the next 4 years.

not for me.FF would kill the series.id watch it but id be gutted.

Beachguy · 06-05-2013, 07:21 PM

Well, Cropsy... the series was already dead for a long time. At least to me.

I don't think you have anything to worry about. Paramount will likely never make this a found footage film just because PA is one.

It will probably be the sequel to part 4 that was talked about months ago -- a retcon. Or another remake.

Sequel to the remake. 80% of the Friday the 13th fanbase hated the remake so that's not really the right way to go I would think.

I can't say I'm not happy that something is happening at Paramount among all places. I never thought I'd see a Paramount era Friday again.

I fear they could just reveal Jason as the identity of the demon stalking Katie in Paranormal Activity 5 and probably make her somehow related to the Vorhees bloodline.
