Concepts and creations
Create a monster
Originally created by Victor Miller, Jason's final design was a joint effort by Miller, Ron Kurz, and Tom Savini. The name "Jason" is a combination of "Josh" and "Ian", the two sons of Miller, and "Voorhees" inspired by a girl known to Miller in high school whose last name is Van Voorhees. Miller felt it was "a creepy creepy name", perfect for his character. Miller originally wrote Jason as a normal-looking kid, but the crew behind the film decided he needed to be transformed. Victor Miller explains Jason was not meant to be a creature of "Black Lagoon" in his manuscript, and wrote Jason as a mentally challenged young man; Savini was the one who made Jason's shape. Ron Kurz insists that Jason's Miller version is a normal child, but claims that it was his idea to turn Jason into a "mongoloid creature", and ask him to "jump out of the lake at the end of the movie". Miller then agrees that the ending of his story will not be as good as if he looks like "Betsy Palmer at the age of eight." Miller writes the scene where Alice dreamed she was attacked in a canoe by Jason, and then she woke up in the hospital bed. Miller's goal is to get as close as possible to Carrie '. Savini believed that Jason coming out of the lake would psychologically disturb the audience, and since Alice was supposed to be dreaming, the crew could get away with adding whatever they wanted.
When it came time to portray the role of Jason, Ari Lehman, who had received part of Sean Cunningham Manny's Orphans , arrived to read for Jack's character. Before he could start, Cunningham came in and offered him a different section: Jason. Without reading a word, Cunningham just looked at Ari and said, "You're the right size, you understand." In the original Friday the 13th , Ari Lehman was seen in only a short flashback as a surprising ending. The next actors who plays a young Jason include Timothy Burr Mirkovich in Jason Takes Manhattan and Spencer Stump at Freddy vs. Jason . The role of adult Jason Voorhees has been played by various actors, some are not credited, others are very proud of their part. Because of the physical demands required by the character of an adult, and the lack of emotional depth described, many of the actors become stuntmen. The most famous of them is Kane Hodder, who is quoted as the best to play the role.
Many ideas are suggested for the sequel Friday the 13th , including making part titles of the serial movie series, where any successful movie will be a separate story and unrelated to the previous movie under Friday the 13th moniker. Is Phil Scuderi, one of the producers for the original film, who suggested to bring Jason back for the rest of it. Director Steve Miner feels it is the clear direction to take the series, as he feels the audience wants to know more about the kid who attacked Alice on the lake. Miner decides to pretend as if Alice did not see "real Jason" in his dream, and Jason survived his death as a boy and has grown up. After killing Jason in the Final Round, it was the intention of director Joseph Zito to leave the door open for the studio to make more movies with Tommy Jarvis as the main antagonist. Scriptwriter Barney Cohen felt Jarvis would be Jason's successor, but the idea was never fully developed in New Beginning . Danny Steinmann's director and screenwriter did not like the idea that Jason was not the murderer, but decided to use Tommy's fear of Jason as the main story. This idea was soon abandoned in Jason Lives when the New Beginning did not trigger the "creative success" sought by the studio. Executive producer Frank Mancuso, Jr. wants to bring Jason back, and he does not care how it's accomplished. In another change of series continuity, Tom McLoughlin chose to ignore the idea that Jason had survived his drowning, instead presenting it as always a kind of supernatural power. Since New Beginning , no sequel has tried to replace Jason as the main antagonist. Miller, who has never seen any sequel, takes issue with everything because they make Jason a criminal. Miller believes the best part of his manuscript is that of a mother who avenges his son's unreasonable death. Miller stated, "Jason is dead from the beginning, he is a victim, not a criminal."
The man behind the mask
Jason Voorhees went from a deceased child to a grown man for Friday the 13th 2, and Warrington Gillette was hired to play a role. Gillette auditioned for Paul's role; that role eventually belongs to John Furey. Under the belief that he had attended Hollywood Stuntman School, Gillette was offered the role of Jason Voorhees. Initially Gillette was not sure about the characters, but the idea of ​​starring in his first film grew on Gillette, and he also thought the role was funny. It became clear that Gillette could not take the necessary action, so the Cliff Cudney action coordinator brought in Steve Daskawisz. Daskawisz filmed all the scenes except the opening sequence and the no-sounding shot at the end; Gillette returned for unforgettable scenes. Gillette received credit for playing Jason, while Daskawisz was given credit as a replacement actor. When Part 3 was released the following year, Daskawisz was credited as Jason for the reusable recording of the movie's climax. Initially, Daskawisz was asked to return to the role for Section 3, but that would require him to pay for his own transportation and housing during the filming. After getting the part in Guild Light, Daskawisz refused.
Now wanting Jason the "bigger and stronger look", who is also "more athletic and strong", Steve Miner hired former British trapeze artist Richard Brooker. After a simple conversation, Miner decides he's the right person for the job. Being new in the country, Brooker believes that "playing psychopath killers" is the best way in the film business. Brooker became the first actor to wear Jason's hockey mask now. According to Brooker, "It feels great with the mask, it feels like I'm really Jason because I have no clothes to wear before that." For Final Round , Joseph Zito brings his own round to the character, which requires a "real hardcore stuntman"; Ted White was hired to do that role. White, who just took the job for money, "broke into Jason's psychology" when he arrived on set. White goes as far as not talking to any of the other actors for a long time. As the filming continued, White's experience was unpleasant, and in one instance, he went to battle for co-star Judie Aronson, who plays the role of Samantha, when the director made her naked in the lake for a long time. Unhappy with his experience of filming, White pulls his name out of credit. As with Friday the 13th Part 2 , there is a confusion about who is performing the role in A New Beginning , in part because Jason is not a literal antagonist in the movie. When Ted White refused a chance to return, Dick Wieand was thrown. Wieand is credited as Roy Burns, the real killer of the movie, but Tom Morga's stuntman appears in several flashes of Jason, as well as describes Roy in almost any masked scene. Wieand has been blatant about his lack of enthusiasm for his role in the film. Feeling isolated during filming, Wieand spent most of her time in her trailer. In comparison, Morga enjoys his time as Jason and ensures he "really gets into character".
A nightclub manager at Glendale, C. J. Graham, was interviewed for Jason's role in Jason Lives, but was initially missed because he had no experience as a stuntman. And Bradley was hired, but Paramount executives felt Bradley did not have the right body to play the role, and Graham was hired to replace him. Although Bradley was replaced early during filming, he can be seen in a paintball sequence of films. Graham chose to do most of his own actions, including scenes where Jason burned while fighting Tommy on the lake. The rest of the cast is highly praised by Graham, commenting that he never complained during all the uncomfortable situations where he was placed. Graham did not intend to be an actor or a stuntman, but the idea of ​​playing the "bad guy", and the opportunity to use prosthetics, attracted him. Graham was not brought back to re-portray the role, but was often mentioned as the person who spoke of his time in that part.
Kane Hodder takes over the role in The New Blood, and plays Jason in the next four films. He previously worked with director John Carl Buechler on the movie titled Prison . Based on his experience working with Hodder, Buechler petitioned Frank Mancuso Jr. to hire him, but Mancuso worried about the limited size of Hodder. Knowing he plans to use full-body prosthetics, Buechler schedules a screening check, the first in Friday the 13th history for the character, and Mancuso immediately gives Hodder approval after seeing him. It is Buechler's opinion that Hodder gave Jason his first true personality, based on the emotions, especially the anger, that Hodder would emit when acting as his part. According to Hodder, he wanted to "relate to Jason's thirst for revenge" and tried to better understand his motivation for killing. After seeing the previous films, Hodder decided that he would approach Jason as a more "quick and agile" individual than the one depicted in the previous sequel. John Carl Buechler feels that Kane has a "natural proximity to the role" - so much so that Kane's appearance, while wearing a mask, often makes the players afraid, the crew, and in a single incident a stranger he meets in his streets returns to his trailer. Originally Frank Mancuso Jr. and Barbara Sachs plans to use the Canadian stuntperson for Jason Takes Manhattan. Hodder acts as his own voice, summoning and requesting that he be allowed to re-act the role; the final decision was handed over to director Rob Hedden, who intends to use Hodder, because he feels Hodder knows the series's story. With the return of Sean Cunningham as producer for Jason Goes to Hell, Hodder feels his chances to repeat his role even better: Hodder has been working as Cunningham's action coordinator for years. Regardless, Adam Marcus, director for Jason Goes to Hell , always intends to hire Hodder for the role. Jason X will mark Hodder's last appearance as Jason, to date. Todd Farmer, who wrote the scenario for Jason X , knew Hodder would play Jason early on. Jim Isaac is a fan of Hodder's work on previous movies, so hiring him is an easy decision.
New Line believes Freddy vs. Jason needs a fresh start, and chooses a new actor for Jason. Cunningham disagrees with their decision, believing Hodder is the best choice for the role. Hodder does accept scripts for Freddy vs. Jason, and holds meetings with director Ronny Yu and New Line executives, but Matthew Barry and Yu feel the role must be rearranged to fit Yu's image of Jason. According to Hodder, New Line failed to give him a reason to tidy up again, but Yu had explained that he wanted a slower, more deliberate Jason, and less of the aggressive moves Hodder used in previous films. Yu and development executive Jeff Katz admitted to criticism among fans about Hodder's replacement as Jason, but stood by their choice in reshaping.
The role eventually goes to Ken Kirzinger, a Canadian stuntman who works at Jason Takes Manhattan. There are conflicting reports on why Kirzinger was thrown. According to Yu, Kirzinger is employed because he is taller than Robert Englund, the actor who plays Freddy Krueger. Kirzinger stands 6 feet 5 inches (1.96 m), compared to 6 feet 3 inches (1.91 m) from Kane Hodder, and Yu wants a much larger actor to tower over 5-foot-10-inches (1 , 78 m) Englund. Kirzinger believes his experience in Part VIII helped him land the part, as Kirzinger doubled Hodder in two scenes for the movie, but also believed that he only measured and handed over the job. Though he was employed by a creative crew, New Line did not officially portray Kirzinger until first seeing him in the movie. Kirzinger's first scene was Jason walking on Elm Street. New Line wanted a special movement in Jason's journey; Kirzinger fulfilled their expectations and signed a contract with the studio. However, concerns that test audiences are confused with the original end of the film that caused the studio to reshoot the last scene. Actor Douglas Tait was brought in to film a new ending, as he was available to reshoot and has become a second choice of production to illustrate Jason's role during the original casting.
For the 2009 remake, stuntman Derek Mears was hired to portray Jason Voorhees on the recommendation of the special effects controller makeup Scott Stoddard. Mears' good attitude made the studio worry about his ability to portray the threatening characters on screen, but Mears assured them that he would be able to perform his role. When Mears auditioned for the role, he was asked why they should hire an actor only with another man in the mask. As Mears describes, Jason describes similar to Greek mask work, where masks and actors are two separate entities, and, based on the scene, there will be various combinations of masks and actors in the show.
Design
The physical design of Jason Voorhees has undergone changes, partly subtle and partly radical. To Friday the 13th , the task to appear with Jason's appearance is the responsibility of Tom Savini, whose design for Jason was inspired by someone whom Savini knew as a child whose eyes and ears were not straight. The original design asked Jason to have hair, but Savini and his crew chose to make it bald, so he would look like "hydrocephalus head, mongoloid", with a dome-shaped head. Savini made a plaster print of Ari Lehman's head and used it to create prosthetics on his face. Lehman personally placed the mud - from the bottom of the lake - his whole body to make himself seem "very slimy."
For Part 2, Steve Miner asked Carl Fullerton, the make-up controller, to stick to Savini's original design, but Fullerton had only one day to design and sculpt new heads. Fullerton draws a rough sketch of what he believes will look like Jason, and has been approved by Miner. Fullerton adds long hair to the characters. Gillette had to spend hours in the chair as they applied rubber forms all over his face, and had to keep one eye closed while the "loose eye" app had been installed. Gillette's eyes were closed for twelve hours at a time when he was filming the movie's final scene. Dentures made by local dentists used to distort Gillette's face. Most of the basic concepts of the Fullerton design have been eliminated for Part 3 . Miner wanted to use a combination of designs from Tom Savini and Carl Fullerton, but as the work progressed, the design began to lean toward the Savini concept. Stan Winston was hired to make designs for Jason's head, but his eyes were level and Doug White, the make-up artist for Section 3, needed a grimly right eye. White did retain Winston's design for the back of the head, as the crew had no time to design an entirely new head for Jason. The process of creating Jason's look is hard work for White, who must always make changes to Richard Brooker's face, even to the last day of filming.
Script for Part 3 calls Jason to wear a mask to cover his face, after wearing a bag over his head in Part 2 ; what people did not know at the time was that the chosen mask would be the trademark for the character, and which was instantly recognized in popular culture in the years to come. During production, Steve Miner requested a lighting check. None of the crew's effect wanted to apply make-up for light examination, so they decided to just cast a mask on Brooker. The 3D motion picture inspector, Martin Jay Sadoff, is a hockey fan, and has a bag of hockey fixtures with him on the set. He pulled out the Red Wing Detroit class mask for the exam. Miner liked the mask, but it was too small. Using a substance called VacuForm, Doug White enlarges the mask and creates a new mold for use. After White finishes the mold, Terry Ballard places a red triangle on the mask to give it a unique appearance. The holes were plugged into the mask and the marks were changed, making it different from the Sadoff mask. There are two artificial facial masks made for Richard Brooker to wear under a hockey mask. One mask consists of about 11 different equipment and takes about six hours to apply on the Brooker face; This mask is used for scenes where the hockey mask has been removed. In a scene where the hockey mask is above the face, a simple head mask is made. This one mask will slip over Brooker's head, exposing his face but not across his head.
Tom Savini agrees to go back to the make-up duties for the Final Round because he feels he must be the one who brings Jason full circle in terms of his child-to-man appearance. Savini uses his design from the original Friday the 13th , with the same application practices as before, but printed from Ted White's face. Since Jason is not the real killer in the New Beginning, there is no need to do any major design for Jason's appearance. Only a head mask to cover the top and back of the head, as Brooker worn while wearing a hockey mask, is required for the film. Makeup artist Louis Lazzara, quoting New Beginning for nearly a direct sequel from The Last Chapter , based his head on Tom Savini's design for the Final Round.
Friday the 13th Part VII: The New Blood is trying to make Jason more a "classic monster along the Frankenstein line." From the beginning, Buechler tried to tie up the previous films together with having Jason's appearance reflect that damage he received in previous installments. Buechler wanted a motor boat crash from Jason Lives, and the cutting of ax and machete Jason received in Part 3 and Part 4 for the part of the design for < i> The New Blood . Because Jason had sunk underwater on previous entries, the effects team wanted Jason to appear "rotting", with bones and ribs showing, and for Jason's features to have a clearer feel to them. Howard Berger was inspired by Carl Fullerton's design on The New Blood, and wanted to incorporate the concept of open meat into his model for Jason Goes to Hell. Berger designed Jason's skin to overlap with the mask, making it look as if the skin and mask had blended and the mask could no longer be removed. Gregory Nicotero and Berger sculpt a full-body suit, latex foam for Kane Hodder to wear under the costume. The idea is to reveal as much of Jason's skin as possible, as Nicotero and Berger know the physical characters will not be visible to most of the movie.
Stephan Dupuis was given the task of redesigning Jason for his 10th movie Friday the 13th . One concept brought into the film is Jason's regenerative ability. Dupuis gives the character more hair and more than the appearance of natural flesh to describe the constant regeneration of the characters traversed; Dupuis wants a more "gothic" design for Jason, so he adds chains and shackles, and makes the hockey mask more angled. Jim Isaac and the rest of the crew wanted to create a totally new Jason at some point in the movie. The idea is for teenagers to completely destroy Jason's body, enabling futuristic technology to revive him. The so-called "Jason" ÃÆ'Ã… "is designed to have lumps of metal growing out of its body, bound by growing vines into metal, all pushing through the leather garment. The metal was made from VacuForm, the same material used to increase the size of the original hockey mask, and attached by Velcro. Sululnya made of silicone. All the pieces were made into one suit, including one part of the head, which Hodder wore. The make-up effect team added a zipper along the sides of the suit, which allowed Hodder in and out of the suit within 15 minutes.
At Freddy vs. Jason entered production, there were already ten films last Friday the 13th ago. The make-up artist, Terezakis, wants to put his own mark on the look of Jason - he wants Jason to be less rotted and rot and clearer, so the audience will see the new Jason, but still recognize his face. Terezakis tries to maintain continuity with previous films, but admits that if he follows them too literally, then "Jason will be reduced to a pile of goo." Ronny Yu wants everything around the hockey mask to function as a frame, making the mask a focal point for every shot. To achieve this, Terezakis created a "blood-clotted" appearance for the character by painting blacks, based on the idea that blood had stagnant in the back of his head because he had been lying on his back for a long time. Like the previous make-up artist, Terezakis followed Savini's original skull design, and arranged it appropriately.
For the 2009 version of Friday the 13th , the artist Scott Stoddard took the inspiration from Carl Fullerton's design on Friday the 13th 2 and Tom Savini's work on Friday the 13th: The Final Round . Stoddard wanted to make sure that Jason emerged as a human being and not like a monster. Stoddard's vision of Jason included hair loss, skin rashes, and traditional defects on his face, but he sought to create Jason's look in a way that allowed a more human side to be seen. Stoddard took inspiration from the third and fourth films while designing Jason's hockey mask. The makeup artist managed to get the original artwork, which he learned and then chisels. Although he has modeled one of the original masks, Stoddard does not want to replicate it as a whole. As Stoddard explains, "Since I do not want to take on something that already exists, there are things that I think are amazing, but there are things that I want to change a little bit, make it a habit, but still all the basic designs. Especially the mark on their forehead and cheeks.Your age is little, break them. "In the end, Stoddard made six versions of the mask, each with varying degrees of wear and tear.
Characteristics
In his original appearance, Jason was accused of being a mentally challenged young man. Since Friday the 13th , Jason Voorhees has been described as a mass murderer who can not speak, can not be destroyed, and a machete. Jason is primarily described as completely silent throughout the series films. Exceptions to this include a flashback of Jason as a child, and a brief scene in Jason Takes Manhattan where characters yell "Mommy, please do not let me drown!" in the voice of a child before being submerged in toxic waste, and in Jason Goes To Hell where his spirit has another individual. The online magazine, Salon, Andrew O'Hehir, describes Jason as "a silent slate... without expression...". When discussing Jason psychologically, Sean S. Cunningham said, "... he does not have any personality, he's like a great white shark, you can not really beat him. All you can hope for is survival." Since Jason Lives, Jason has become an "almost indestructible" creature. Tom McLoughlin, the film director, feels silly that Jason was just another man in the mask, who will kill the left and right, but "beaten and beaten by the hero in the end". McLoughlin wants Jason to be more of a "tough and unstoppable monster". In raising Jason from death, McLoughlin also gave him the weakness of being helpless if caught under the water of Crystal Lake; inspired by a vampire of knowledge, McLoughlin decides that Jason is actually drowning as a child, and that he returns to his original resting place will paralyze him. This weakness will be presented again at The New Blood and the idea that Jason has been drowned when the children were taken by director Rob Hedden as a plot element in Jason Takes Manhattan.
Many have suggested Jason's motivation for killing. Ken Kirzinger refers to Jason as "a very chaotic psychotic boy... very tenacious... You can not kill him, but he feels sick, unlike anyone else." Kirzinger goes on to say that Jason is a "psycho-savant", and believes his actions are based on pleasing his mother, and not something personal. Andrew O'Hehir has stated, "Coursing's hormone acts, of course, as a smelling salt to insult Jason, who is always wary of William Bennett's style values." Todd Farmer, author for Jason X, wrote the scene in which Jason wakes up from cryonic hibernation just as the two teenagers are having sex. The farmer loves the idea that sex acts trigger Jason back to life. Whatever his motivations, Kane Hodder believes there are limits to what he will do. According to Hodder, Jason might roughly kill anyone he encounters, but when Jason Takes Manhattan calls Hodder to kick the main character's dog, Hodder refuses, stating it, while Jason has no doubts against human killing. , he is not bad enough to harm animals. Another example of Jason Takes Manhattan involves Jason being confronted by a young male teenage gang one of whom threatens him with a knife, but Jason chooses not to kill them and instead frightens them by lifting his mask and showing his face. Likewise, director Tom McLoughlin chose not to harm Jason from the children he met at Jason Lives, who declared that Jason would not kill a child, out of sympathy for the suffering of children produced by his son own. death as a child.
In Jason Goes to Hell , director Adam Marcus decides to include a copy of the Ex-Mortis Necronomicon, from the Evil Dead franchise, at Voorhees' home as a way to insinuate that Jason is actually "Deadite ", a devil of the series. Marcus stated the placement of the book was meant to imply that Pamela Voorhees had used it to awaken Jason after his childhood drowns, producing supernatural abilities: "This is why Jason is not Jason, he's Jason plus The Evil Dead... That, I am, much more interesting as a mashup, and [Sam] Raimi likes it! It's not like I can tell New Line my plan to include The Evil Dead because they do not have The Evil Dead So it must be an Easter egg, and I focus on it.That's really a canon. "In the first draft Freddy vs. Jason , it was decided that one of the criminals needed an exchangeable factor. Ronald D. Moore, one of the first draft authors, explained that Jason is the easiest to redeem, since no one ever goes into the psychology around that character. Moore sees the character as "blank slate", and feels he is a character that can really be desired by the audience. Another draft, written by Mark Protosevich, follows Moore's idea of ​​Jason having a quality that can be exchanged. In his design, Jason protects a pregnant teenager named Rachel Daniels. Protosevich explains, "This goes into the idea that there are two types of monsters: Freddy is a real pure evil man and Jason is more like a vengeance who punishes people he thinks is unfit to live in. Finally, both of them clash and Jason becomes a monster honorable. "Writers Damian Shannon and Mark Swift, who wrote the final draft of the film, disagreed about making Jason a hero, although they draw comparisons between the fact that Freddy is a victim and Jason is a victim. "We do not want to put them in a situation where Jason is a hero... They are both equally feared." Brenna O'Brien, co- founder of Fridaythe13thfilms.com, saw the character has sympathetic qualities. He declared, "[Jason] is a handicapped child who nearly drowned and then spent the rest of his childhood growing alone in the woods He saw his mother being killed by a camp counselor on the first Friday of the 13th, and so now he replied a grudge on anyone who returns to Camp Crystal Lake.Agent fans can identify with a sense of rejection and isolation, which you can not really get from other killers like Freddy Krueger and Michael Myers. "
As Jason went through some characterization changes in the 2009 film, Derek Mears likened it more to a combination of John Rambo, Tarzan, and Snowman Abominable from Looney Tunes . To him, Jason is similar to Rambo because he set other characters to fall into his trap. Like Rambo, he is more reckoned because he feels that he has been harmed and he fights; He is meant to be more sympathetic in this film. Fuller and Form argue that they do not want to make Jason too sympathetic to the audience. Brad Fuller explains, "We do not want him to be sympathetic, Jason is not a comedy character, he's not sympathetic, he's a killing machine, simple and simple."
In 2005, California State University's Media Psychology Lab surveyed 1,166 Americans aged 16 to 91 on the psychological appeal of the movie monster. Many of the characteristics associated with Jason Voorhees appeal to the participants. In the survey, Jason is considered an "unstoppable killing machine." The participants were impressed by "cornucopic achievements slicing and cutting the number of seemingly endless teenagers and occasional adults." Of the ten monsters used in the survey - which included vampires, Freddy Krueger, Frankenstein monster, Michael Myers, Godzilla, Chucky, Hannibal Lecter, King Kong, and Alien - Jason scored highest in all categories involving murder variables. Further characteristics of interest to the participants include "Jason's immortality, the visible pleasures of killing [and] his superhuman strength."

The band's name paid homage to Lehman's description of Jason Voorhees on the original Friday the 13th . One of the band's songs is entitled "Jason is Watching".

Author Kevin Williamson claimed his inspiration for this scene came when he asked this question in a bar when a group was playing a movie game trivia quiz. He received a free drink, because no one answered correctly. In another movie Wes Craven,
