Hello Everyone.I was just wondering what you guys think of Derek Mears as the new "Jason"...I mean, none of us have seen him as "Jason", but so far his style differs a lot from Kane's. I remember reading about how Kane would not hang around the other actors/actresses and would show his "pissed off" side on the set. This resulted in the other actors/actresses being nervous around him and actually being more afraid of "Jason" when it came time to shoot the film.This is what I read about Derek, quoted by Amanda Righetti (who plays terrorized teen Whitney):"Watching Jason Voorhees in all his warped glory before me, shaking my hand and carrying on with pleasantries, was simply surreal. Mears was an extremely kind and focused man, who everyone on set seemed to admire."What do you guys think? Do you think the other actors/actresses will be as afraid of Mears as they were of Hodder on the set? Personally, I love Kane's "pissed off" Jason and I'm hoping that Mears can change his persona from a guy that everyone admires to a "Jason" that everyone fears. <img src=\"style_emoticons/<#EMO_DIR#>/thumbsup.gif\" style=\"vertical-align:middle\" emoid=\":thumbsup:\" border=\"0\" alt=\"thumbsup.gif\" />
