Film Trivia
- Derek Mears is the eighth actor to portray Jason Voorhees. Mears is also a stunt man and has performed in a number of movies including World Trade Centre and Pirates of the Caribbean: Curse of the Black Pearl.
- Producer Michael Bay walked out of this movie's premiere because he thought there was too much sex in it.
- Screenwriter Damian Shannon and director Marcus Nispel re-envisioned Jason as a territorial hunter. They wanted him to be someone who doesn't kill at random but rather defends his territory from anyone invading it.
- Despite being a remake, Jason Voorhees is not the killer in the original Friday the 13th. Also, his trademark hockey mask and sack did not appear until Friday the 13th Part 2.
- Despite the film's title there is no mention of the date that the film is supposedly set on.
