Jason Voorhees’ mom has been cast in Platinum Dunes’ new Friday the 13th, and it’s none other than Nana Visitor, aka Major Kira from Deep Space Nine. She’s trading in that nose ridge for a ragged neck, as she’s already had her head cast for Pamela Voorhees’ decapitation.
True fans of the series will remember that the killer in the first Friday was Jason’s mom, who got her head whacked off at the end. Jason was later seen to be keeping mommy’s noggin on display in his cabin in the woods (as well as in the occasional refrigerator). Visitor tells ScreenGeeks that she only has a small role in the film; the new Friday is apparently not a remake but some kind of soft reboot, cherry picking the best aspects of the series. One of the characters is an expert on the slaughters at Camp Blood, so I imagine that Visitor will pop up in a flashback as he tells the legend of Jason and his mom around the campfire.

the "soft reboot" aspect makes me anticipate this with less of the fear and loathing I normally hold for venereal diseases. My favorite Nana Visitor moment is still her bit part (w/ Tom Berenger!) in the coda at the end of The Sentinel.
Thanks for getting my hopes up for a Jason X sequel with that headline.
"True fans of the series will remember that the killer in the first Friday was Jason's mom,"……or whoever just watched the fucking movie.
Comment #3 just made me spray my lunch on the computer screen. Thanks a lot!
Nice one, tony. Devin you are a total fucking wanker.
I have to say that while I oppose the idea of a NOES remake, I'm all for a F13 reboot; cause frankly continuity has been fucked since part 2. Also I just want to see more jason movies in theatres.
"…or whoever just watched the fucking movie." Or, you know, whoever just watched the opening of Scream.
""…or whoever just watched the fucking movie." Or, you know, whoever just watched the opening of Scream." … Or whoever read this idiotic article.
