Jason Voorhees went from deceased child to full-grown man for Friday the 13th Part 2, and Warrington Gillette was hired to play the role. Gillette auditioned for the role of Paul; that role eventually went to John Furey. Under the belief that he had attended the Hollywood Stuntman's School, Gillette was offered the role of Jason Voorhees. [69] Initially Gillette was unsure about the character, but the idea of starring in his first film grew on Gillette, [70] and he also thought the role was amusing. [69] It became apparent Gillette could not perform the necessary stunts, so the stunt coordinator Cliff Cudney brought in Steve Daskawisz. [71] Daskawisz filmed all of the scenes except the opening sequence and the unmasking shot at the end; Gillette returned for the unmasking scenes. Gillette received credit for playing Jason, while Daskawisz was given credit as the stunt double. When Part 3 was released the following year, Daskawisz was credited as Jason for the reused footage from the climax of the film. [6] Initially, Daskawisz was asked to return to the role for Part 3, but it would have required him to pay for his own transportation and housing during filming. Having secured a part on Guiding Light, Daskawisz declined. [71] Overall, I think this is an excellent concept for a novel, and I would be interested to read further work if it was edited down, and had some stylistic changes.

Even at that while the story is interesting and you can tell a lot of detail was put into it. The storyline is really very flat to me. Especially considering the first part with Jason obtaining the fleece is the more exciting part of the story itself. I particularly enjoyed how Knowles deconstructs familiar myths such as the Sirens, and suggests a realistic alternative that gives them a human voice. The role eventually went to Ken Kirzinger, a Canadian stuntman who worked on Jason Takes Manhattan. There are conflicting reports over the reason Kirzinger was cast. According to Yu, Kirzinger was hired because he was taller than Robert Englund, the actor who portrays Freddy Krueger. Kirzinger stands 6feet 5inches (1.96m), compared to the 6feet 3inches (1.91m) of Kane Hodder, and Yu wanted a much larger actor to tower over the 5-foot-10-inch (1.78m) Englund. Kirzinger believes his experience on Part VIII helped him land the part, as Kirzinger doubled for Hodder on two scenes for the film, [84] but also believes he was simply sized up and handed the job. [85] Although he was hired by the creative crew, New Line did not officially cast Kirzinger until first seeing him on film. Kirzinger's first scene was Jason walking down Elm Street. New Line wanted a specific movement in Jason's walk; Kirzinger met their expectations and signed a contract with the studio. [84] However, concerns that test audiences were confused by the film's original ending caused the studio to reshoot the final scene. Actor Douglas Tait was brought in to film the new ending, as he was available for the reshoot and had been the production's second choice to portray the role of Jason during the original casting. [86] A few other thoughts. First, there are two other stories that are interwoven with the main story: the story of Eleusis and the story of Persephone (which are, in a loose sense, one story, but the novel does not focus on Persephone). Though it was interesting, I did not see what Persephone’s story had to do with Jason. The story of Eleusis was better developed though, again, only tenuously connected to the Argonauts. However, I actually quite liked it and thought it made a nice narrative break from the Argonauts’ slog home.Jason has fulfilled the mission set him by his uncle, the scheming King Pelias of Iolkos: he and the Argonauts have won the fabled Golden Fleece of Colchis. Jason dreams of glory – of taking his uncle's throne, rightfully his – and, like his warrior shipmates, of home.

Today I received the most recent publication from Leaping Horseman Books titled: "Croatian Legion - The 369th Reinforced (Croatian) Infantry Regiment on the Eastern Front 1941-1943" by Amir Obhodas & Jason Mark. This publishing house consistently produces the highest quality and extremely well researched books. It is probably the only publisher that also manages to commit to their original publishing date. When they state that their new book will be available on a particular date they always keep to that date. Why other publishers cannot do that beats me! I think the concept of the novel interesting and, if properly edited, I’d enjoy it immensely. While Jason is compared to Circe and The Song of Achilles by Madeline Miller, the prose never comes close to the majesty of Miller’s.

I have been reading a lot of these modern retellings of ancient Greek myths these days, for work. This is the second in a trilogy, the third book not being released as of the time of this review. Thus, I can only judge it on the basis of the first two books.

Next, dip your brush in the water, apply some of the cleaning solution to brush, and give it one more dip into the water. Now apply the brush to the sneaker and brush in circular motions to activate the foam. Once you have cleaned the entirety of the shoe, wipe it clean with your towel.

After reading Argo on Kindle, I went with the audiobook for Jason, the second instalment of the Blades of Bronze series. And, I have to say, hats off to narrator Andrew Kingston. Voicing a cast of characters that size must have been as epic a task as the one facing the Argonauts. He pulls it off with inventive aplomb. The physical design of Jason Voorhees has gone through changes, some subtle and some radical. For Friday the 13th, the task of coming up with Jason's appearance was the responsibility of Tom Savini, whose design for Jason was inspired by someone Savini knew as a child whose eyes and ears did not line up straight. [60] The original design called for Jason to have hair, but Savini and his crew opted to make him bald, [59] so he would look like a " hydrocephalic, mongoloid pinhead", with a dome-shaped head. [60] Savini created a plaster mold of Ari Lehman's head and used that to create prosthetics for his face. [59] Lehman personally placed mud—from the bottom of the lake—all over his body to make himself appear "really slimy." [59] This is an expansive, very descriptive book, that feels of epic proportion. In this aspect it's a valuable presentation of the myth that would probably be more appreciated by fans of historical facts and classical stories.
