This is incedible news, and according to www.bloody-disgusting.com AND www.aintitcoolnews.com it's not a rumour, but Quintin Tarantino is actually in talks to direct the Friday the 13th part 12.
If true, this will put him along side such well known directors as Steve Miner, John Carl Buechler, Rob Hedden and probably a host of other directors we've never heard of again 
Well, "in talks with" doesn't necessarily mean he'll do it, but I figure they should give him whatever he wants for him to do it. Really, it could breathe new life into a series that a lot of people thought was going down hill a long time ago.
www.bloody-disgusting.com always mentioned that people should check back tomorrow for a big surprise... don't exactly know what that means will happen, but I'll check back tomorrow.... probably.

Tarantino Kills Jason Speculation
Quentin Tarantino apparently won't be blocking out time in his calendar for a future Friday the 13th.
In a new interview with British movie magazine Empire, the Kill Bill helmer effectively killed the idea of resurrecting Jason Vorhees for a new installment in New Line Cinema's profitable franchise.
"What's happening with Friday the 13th? Nothing at all," the 41-year-old told the magazine when asked about the speculation after picking up Empire's Icon of the Decade award over the weekend.
"New Line talked to me about it," Tarantino continued, "[and] I like Jason and everything, but I've no intention of directing a movie."
Studio sources confirmed to E! Online last week that New Line had set up a meeting with Tarantino to discuss a potential Friday the 13th film. Apparently New Line requested the meeting after learning that the Oscar winner had floated the idea of reinventing the big-screen slasher to Cabin Fever director Eli Roth, saying he had always dreamed of doing a Jason movie and already had a story and opening montage worked out in his head.
But Tarantino now has other plans. "I would love to do a horror film," the Pulp Fiction purveyor told Empire. "I'm just saying it's not going to be Friday the 13th."
Meanwhile, the director has plenty to keep him busy. He has signed on to write and direct the season finale of CBS' hit series CSI before embarking on his next movie project.
Tarantino has recently said he intends on finally beginning production on a long-in-the-works pet project of his, the World War II drama Inglorious Bastards. However, according to Entertainment Weekly, he has yet to compile the scenes he's written into a shooting script
Another long-simmering project in the mix is a kung fu saga--entirely in Mandarin--that will hit theaters late next year. An avowed lover of Hong Kong cinema, Tarantino hopes to roll cameras in early '06 on the yet-to-be-titled feature.
And fans will be either thrilled--or mortified--to learn that Tarantino will dust off his disputed acting chops for the biker drama Hell Ride, due out sometime next year, per IMDb.com.
Beyond that, Tarantino says he's actually pondering retirement. "I hope to give you at least 15 more years of movies," he told Empire. "I'm not going to be this old guy that keeps cranking them out. My plan is to have a theater by that time in some small town and I will be the manager--this crazy old movie guy."
