DVDFile.com is reporting today some information that may be of interest to gore fans on the small screen:
At a special screening of the original Friday the 13th at Maniafest this past Friday, Paramount Home Entertainment representatives were on hand to officially announce an upcoming box set of the first eight Friday flicks. Details remain sketchy, but fans asking for uncut versions of the flicks may be in luck - Paramount is hard at work trying to locate the missing footage needed to reconstitute new cuts of the films. The set is currently due for release in the fourth quarter of next year, and Paramount is also considering releasing on DVD the Jason-less but fairly popular Friday the 13th television series that ran for three seasons in syndication in the late 80's.
I'm forced to point out that I've seen multiple accounts of the
Friday the 13th FILM news from this event, and that DVDFile has so far been the only source mentioning the TV show. And there's definately been no word from the studio...we here are not even certain that Paramount owns the television property. So I'm not sure that fans should get their hopes up
too far. Keep voting for the series here at TVShowsOnDVD, and we'll do our best to pass on your interest to any interested parties. And stay tuned; we'll see what develops.
