Jason will return to the big screen now that Sean S. Cunningham prepares the reboot definitive of Friday 13. After exactly 13 sequels since the 1980 original, the creator of the classic will get to work to bring the monster back to the big screen with the dignity it deserves.
The director stated that he is already preparing Jason’s return to the cinema and has several plans in mind so that everything goes smoothly. Of course, the first thing anyone thinks of when reading news like this is the legal problems of the franchise. However, Cunningham suggests that he has everything under control so that this is not an impediment.
through the website bloody disgusting, is that the information about the return of Sean S. Cunningham to the chair arrives. It was his collaborator John Locker who provided first-hand information about the plans for the franchise, which run both ways. The first of them is a reboot which he described as “the reboot of his dreams.”
“Sean hired me to do a rewrite of The Night Driver and after working closely with him and director Jeremy Weiss, we naturally got to talking about Friday the 13th Y House. Jeremy and I launched the reboot of our dreams of Friday the 13th with Sean’s blessing to continue developing it together with him”.
Along the way is also a television series developed by Bryan Fuller (Hannibal). That will be a prequel that will tell the previous story that occurred in the fatal camp where Jason loses his life. Crystal Lake It bears a name and will premiere at some point this year.
However, for Locker that production does not represent an obstacle or a threat. On the contrary, he hopes that both the series and the movie feed off each other to rekindle the audience’s interest in the return of this story.
“Obviously, the prequel TV series has reignited interest in a new movie, so we hope the surrounding excitement will inspire both sides to come together and bring Jason to the big screen again for the first time in 14 years.”
However, John Locker also has a plan B. It is a sequel to the original that he believes will be liked by fans. This new film would also be free from any legal entanglement and has the blessing of Sean S. Cunningham.
Of course, there is still no information about a release date, but it is a fact that the project is already in development. excited?
