Kane Hodder Injured During ‘Friday the 13th: The Game’ Mocap Session
In the unholy trinity of immortal horror movie icons that more or less defined the genre in the 80s, Jason Voorhees may frighten me the most. He’s the unstoppable force and the immovable object, whereas Michael is mostly the former, and he shares Freddy’s talent for creative kills without having to rely on any of those fantastical dream powers.
Of the numerous actors that have contributed to his epic legacy, Kane Hodder was the first to bring a personality to his physicality. It’s his involvement — and special make-up effects creator Tom Savini — that will guarantee the Jason we see in Friday the 13th: The Game will be the real thing.
All Hodder needs to do is make it through mocap.
That photo was taken after a recent motion capture session left Hodder with a bruised tricep that looks gnarly even by stuntman standards. He’s healing just fine, according to a post on the game’s Facebook page that doesn’t mention which of the Big J.V.’s trademark kills Kane was recording when it happened, unfortunately. Did Jason kill anyone with his tricep?
Are you watching? Ishana Night Shyamalan has clearly been paying attention to her father, M. Night Shyamalan. Not only is she following in his footsteps as a filmmaker, but she’s also embracing a similar mystique surrounding her work.
The new trailer for her feature directorial debut, The Watchers, gives viewers a taste of what’s in store. AreYouWatching.com has launched with even more clues.
Visit the site to join the mysterious creatures that lurk in the Irish forest as you observe a shelter. From the time the sun sets at 7:30 PM until it rises at 5:55 AM, four strangers — played by Dakota Fanning, Georgina Campbell, Oliver Finnegan, and Olwen Fouere — can be seen trapped inside.
You’ll find several interactive items. Click on the gramophone to set the mood with some spooky music. Tap on the birdcage to hear an ominous message from the parrot inside: “I’m going out, try not to die.” Press on the TV to watch clips from a fake reality show called Lair of Love. And if you tap on the window during the daytime … they’ll tap back.
There are also Easter eggs hidden at specific times. We’ve discovered three: a disorienting shot of Fanning’s character’s car at 5:52 PM, a closer view of the captives at 11:11 PM, and a glimpse of monitors at 12:46 AM. Let us know if you find any more in the comments…
The Watchers opens in theaters on June 14 via New Line Cinema. Ishana Night Shyamalan writes and directs, based on the 2022 novel of the same name by A.M. Shine. M. Night Shyamalan produces.
