Sylvia finds his calling in latest Friday the 13th movie
By Steve Cofield



After showing up as a sloppy, hairy 315-pound beast for his last fight, Tim Sylvia is a natural to be cast as a horror film monster. Fighters.com is reporting that he got a gig in the latest Friday the 13th movie. Yes, we're serious.

Sylvia has been a blogosphere punchline since he was knocked out in 10 seconds by 48-year-old Ray Mercer. He's a favorite of photoshoppers. We can't even imagine what comes now when MMA fans find out Sylvia is the latest Jason Vorhees.

Sylvia does have a return fight in less than three weeks on September 18 at Adrenaline MMA 4 in Iowa. The movie is filming in the Boston area. Here's hoping that filming is taking just a few hours a day and he's actually training for his fight against Jason Riley. Fighters.com says Sylvia is working with Boston-based trainer Mark DellaGrotte.

I wonder why they're not going to use Derek Mears again?

[Wolf-J-Flywheel]

Have no idea but you never know Sylvia maybe a good Jason he has the size to be

[Friday The 13th]

I fucking hope not! I mean no beef against Sylvia...
But that is the number 1 franchise killer!
NEVER, EVER! Get a different actor!

It looks like its gonna happen though

This story is 100% false. The movie is not filming and Derek Mears is coming back as Jason. Brad Fuller has confirmed via his Twitter that the rumor is false. Here is what he said....

"dont believe the rumor. We are NOT shooting F13 right now, and the only person i want to work with as JASON is Derek Mears."

I don't see what's so special about Mears since so many have played Jason already >.< ...That Sylvia guy doesn't have anything on Kane Hodder though: Inferior "big guy" X)

[Bojangles]

As Jersey said, this was just a rumor. It's officially FALSE.

[Friday The 13th]

Well I checked IMDB!
It says Derek Mears, is playing Jason in 2010!

[JerseyDevil666]

It just says he is rumored for the sequel to the remake in 2010. The movie doesnt have script for it yet and it is still to be green lit.

Also might want to take a look at this...Its pretty cool
