The Hollywood Reporter has confirmed what we told you two weeks ago for the FRIDAY THE 13TH remake. Scribes Damian Shannon and Mark Swift (the same duo behind Jason vs. Freddy-2003) have been chosen by New Line and Platinum Dunes to rewrite the script for this remake. These writers were brought on board after the studio rejected a previous draft featuring the mother of Jason, a script draft more accurately written in context to the original film. The studio threw that one out because they wanted Jason at his full size with a mask in the remake, something that didn't take place in the original series until the 3rd film.

The new writers will insure the remake will have Jason fully grown, with a mask, killing in the setting of Crystal Lake. The hope is still to get this project filmed before the impending June 2008 strike
