Jared Padalecki on the New Friday the 13th

Jared Padalecki squares off against one of cinema's most recognizable villains in Friday the 13th, an updated remake of the 1980 campy horror film. Padalecki's no stranger to scary movies – or scary TV shows for that matter – and taking on the lead role in a remake of a classic film of the genre suited him just fine.

The fact that the original Friday the 13th was short on character development didn't bother Padalecki. "Before I got the script, honestly my thought was, 'Man, I really like Friday the 13th,' and I’d seen the Texas Chainsaw Massacre that they had done and I loved it. We actually watched it before we started shooting House of Wax. We watched it and Joel Silver says, 'Listen, this is kind of what we’re doing. We're trying to remake a classic and make it new and fun and modern and sexy and scary.' And we watched it and all of us were like, 'That was a really good movie.' That was a really well shot, really scary, really real, the characters were fun, you kind of felt for them and you kind of could…identify with them," said Padalecki at the LA press day for Warner Bros Pictures' Friday the 13th. "You're like, 'Oh, I get it,' you know? They actually had hearts, which is nice because I love sort of just the cheesy horror for the sake of horror, death for the sake of death and, you know, oh fun, crazy, it’s like, 'Let’s wait for the next kind of kooky death.'"
