The only surprise that Paramount’s 2009 reboot of Friday the 13th provided was that there was no sequel. Raking in over $91 million(USD) on a budget of $19 million is practically a license to churn out another.
Five years is a long time between films these days so it was perhaps inevitable that Jason Voorhees would get the reboot treatment…again.
Rumoured to direct is David Bruckner who is best known for his “Amateur Night” segment from found footage anthology horror V/H/S. Whether the 13th instalment will be filmed in the same way is yet to be seen. Post Jason X anything is possible.
The latest Friday The 13th reboot will also be produced through Michael Bay’s Platinum Dunes and has a release date of Friday, March 13, 2015.
