Austin Movies Inc.: ‘Friday the 13th’
“Friday the 13th” — Filming began Monday all across the Austin area for this slasher rehasher, based on the 1980 original. Kids at a camp. A masked killer. Screams, blood, audience cheers. Michael Bay, in a producer’s hat, and director Marcus Nispel re-team following their 2003 Austin-shot ‘Texas Chainsaw Massacre’ remake. It stars Amanda Righetti, Jared Padalecki and a creepy-looking Derek Mears as the sanguinary Jason Voorhees. It’s set for a Feb. 13, 2009, release.

I drove by them filming today on St. Elmo’s off of S. Congress today. Think the set was 2B or so, I was just peeved with all the traffic it caused!
