Jared Padalecki Goes All Out on Friday the 13th
January 22, 2009 by Cynthia
First it was Jensen Ackles in My Bloody Valentine 3-D. Now it’s time for the other Winchester Brother to make his mark in the slasher movie world. Supernatural star Jared Padalecki is busting out on the big screen with an all-new chapter in the Friday the 13th saga.
“I was in middle school when I saw the original “Friday The 13th” and I remember it scaring the life out of me,” laughs Jared Padalecki. “When I found out they were remaking the movie, I was very excited about getting involved.”
Here’s how the new movie lays out:
Searching for his missing sister, Clay Miller (Jared Padalecki) heads up to the eerie woods of legendary Crystal Lake, where he stumbles on the creaky remains of rotting old cabins behind moss-covered trees.
And that’s not the only thing lying in wait under the brush.
Against the advice of police and cautions from the locals, Clay pursues what few leads he has in the search for his missing sister, Whitney (Amanda Righetti), with the help of Jenna (Danielle Panabaker), a young woman he meets among a group of college kids up for an all-thrills weekend. But they are all about to find much more than they bargained for.
Little do they know, they’ve entered the domain of one of the most terrifying specters in American film history–the infamous killer who haunts Crystal Lake, armed with a razor-sharp machete… Jason Voorhees.
“Jared Padalecki was the first person cast in the film and it really set the tone,” says producer Brad Fuller.
“We were already fans of Jared’s from ‘Supernatural,’” notes Andrew Form. “He’s really talented and hardworking, plus he’s a big guy, so we knew we had someone who could probably give the villain a run for his money.”
Friday the 13th opens on Friday, February 13 — how cool is that?
