Could Friday the 13th Be Heading To Facebook?

There are so many different ways to watch movies these days, with Blu-Ray/DVD, Netflix, Movies On Demand, Hulu and Amazon all catering to the digital age of entertainment. You would think that all ofthe bases are covered, right? Well, leave it to the world's largest website to offer one more destination to watch and discuss movies.

Warner Brothers is launching the world's first streaming movie offering on Facebook today and what better title to start with than Christopher Nolan's The Dark Knight. Yes, you read that right, Facebook is getting into the online movie game and here is how it will work. If you “Like” the movie on Facebook, you can choose to rent it for $3 and then watch the movie, comment during it, pause it and more, right on your Facebook page, for 48 hours. In the near future, you’ll also be able to purchase full movies and do the same thing.

So what does this all mean? For starters, you can now watch films and comment on scenes with your friends while still experiencing all of the features provided on your Facebook account. The big thing to watch will be the possibility to watch this on your television in a much bigger picture. But the bigger question remains for us Friday the 13th fans, since Warner Bros. is jumping in on this now, when might we see some of the New Line/ Warner Bros. Friday the 13th titles become available?

Currently, there are no official Facebook pages for any of the New Line films, so they would have to be created. Having a community party watching our beloved Friday the 13th films would indeed be a fun time, but we will have to wait and see how successful these next few months are with films on Facebook!

    I think this is an awesome idea for those that like to community chat during movies. I would check this out! I wouldn't mind getting a Friday the 13th discussion going during a movie. In fact, I think you did that on the other website during AMC Monsterfest, right jasonsfury?

  3. ahh i wouldnt be interested actually. i have all of the friday the 13th movies on dvd and also downloaded on my computer. i gotta admit though. the f13 movies have lost their edge. they dont seem very entertaining anymore to me. they need to make a new one already and stop wasting time. either that or announce that they will never make a new one. dont just leave us dangling here. i hope they at least make one more though and finish it off. they should have never of made that remake though. that majorly threw things off for the future. these slasher type films arent really doing much anymore. most people wanna see those vampire movies, or twilight or something lame like that. this world sucks now! lol.
