Michael Bay needs to be sent to a deserted island!!!
x(

LOS ANGELES (Hollywood Reporter) - "Transformers" director Michael Bay is reviving the "Friday the 13th" franchise through his low-budget production company.

The remake of the original 1980 horror classic, which turned the villainous Jason into a cultural icon, is being produced for New Line Cinema by Bay's Platinum Dunes banner. Platinum Dunes was also behind the revival of "The Texas Chainsaw Massacre" and "The Hitcher."

In the original "Friday the 13th," the serial killer made only a brief appearance in the final frames and never killed anyone. Jason didn't even don the famous mask until the third movie. The remake, however, will focus on Jason -- who will wear the mask and kill -- and keep the famous setting of Crystal Lake.

Damian Shannon and Mark Swift will write the script. They wrote 2003's "Freddy vs. Jason," the killer's last big-screen appearance. That film grossed more than $82 million domestically.

1. Tell Rabrrr we found someone to direct the remake of 'Citizen Kane'
...because noone could fuck it up like Michael Bay can.
Except Uwe Boll.

2. Thank God! Finally, someone truly qualified (in a 21st century America sense) to remake that gem!

If we're lucky, he'll also reshoot Casablanca.

And I hope he'll do them both in color, like real movies, instead of that stupid black and white.
