Damian Shannon and Mark Swift have been tapped to write "
Friday the 13th," the remake of the horror classic being produced by Platinum Dunes for New Line.
Paramount released the original "Friday" in 1980, making Jason -- the unstoppable hockey mask-wearing killer -- a horror icon, though the serial killer made only a brief appearance in the final frames of the first movie and never killed anyone. Jason didn't even don the famous mask until the third movie.
