Tarantino hiding from Jason?

In a case of good news-bad news, Quentin Tarantino is not in talks to direct a Jason movie afterall.

"What's happening with Friday the 13th? Nothing at all! It's a complete lie," Tarantino told Empire Online. "I like Jason and everything, but I've no intention of directing a movie. New Line talked to me about it, but it was a complete fabrication, that article. I would love to do a horror film. I'm just saying it's not going to be Friday the 13th."
