Context Trivia / FridayThe13th2009

Go To

1* AwesomeDearBoy: Derek Mears was enthusiastic about getting the part of Jason Voorhees, to the point where he admits in the ''Crystal Lake Memories'' documentary that he was very straight faced and serious when he got the call, but was giddy and cheerful when he got the role.
2* CreatorBacklash:
3** Creator/MichaelBay had to walk out of the theater during the premiere due to how excessive the sex scenes were. Considering Michael Bay's reputation with MsFanservice characters, [[EveryoneHasStandards that's saying something]].
4** More mildly, Creator/TravisVanWinkle didn't really want to say the line "Your tits are stupendous!". The production told him to say it because it would probably get some laughs from the audience. They were right...
5** Similarly, Creator/AmandaRighetti fought tooth and nail against saying Whitney's line "Say hi to Mommy...In Hell!" as she thought it was cheesy. Audiences agreed with her.
6* DuelingWorks: With ''Film/MyBloodyValentine3D''; they came out within a month of each other, they're both remakes of classic horror films, and each one stars one of the main actors from ''Series/{{Supernatural}}''.
7* MeaningfulReleaseDate: Was originally released on February 13th, which of course was a Friday the 13th.
8* MethodActing: Aaron Yoo (Chewie) was so dedicated to a good death scene, [[HorrifyingTheHorror he actually freaked out Jason's actor]] a little! He had fake blood in his mouth in his death scene, but while filming, his gagging and choking seemed so realistic that Derek Mears (Jason) [[MeanCharacterNiceActor asked him if he was okay as soon as they were done]]. Yoo cheerfully explained that he was trying to ''inhale the fake blood into his sinuses'', so it would look better as it came out of his mouth and nose.
9-->'''Mears:''' I go, "You are ''far'' too committed for this."
10* StarMakingRole: For Creator/DaniellePanabaker. She found success with ''Film/SkyHigh2005'', but this film showed how effectively she could play a relatable and realistic GirlNextDoor while still having the looks to be a beauty pageant contestant. She's considered one of modern horror's Scream Queens starting from this movie, and she'd ride the success into a lucrative career in the next several years.
11* StealthSequel: Though promoted as a remake, writers Damian Shannon & Mark Swift have described the film as being more akin to a loose sequel and "soft reboot" to the original series. In addition to recreating the climax of [[Film/FridayThe13th1980 the first film]] in its opening scene, the film alludes the events of [[Film/FridayThe13thPart2 ''Part 2'']] by featuring a wheelchair and brown sweater in Jason's lair.
12* WritingByTheSeatOfYourPants:
13** Director Marcus Nispel came up with the idea of the marijuana farm during filming.
14** Creator/RichardBurgi (Sheriff Bracke) wasn't cast until 12 hours before filming.
