Horror Friday The 13th Reboot | WB/New Line??

[Pennywise]

I’d be more than alright with Antosca as showrunner, his script for the unmade Friday the 13th reboot was great!

Friday the 13th: Day One

 

[Pennywise]

Did not know this, if there isn’t a musical number in the series, not watching.

You either die a teenager being chased or you live long enough to see yourself become the one chasing teenagers.

Also it should be noted that it's the singing voice of Aladdin and not Steve from Full House.

At Silver Scream Con in Worcester, MA this past weekend, Friday the 13thcreator Sean S. Cunningham provided an update on the long-gestating TV series, Crystal Lake, including a potential release date.

“Last I heard, they’re talking about shooting it in Australia at the end of this year and releasing on Halloween 2025,” he reveals. “But I’ve heard versions of that story for so long, I don’t put a lot of credibility into it. There’s just so many things that can go sideways.”

He broke down the trials and tribulations the series has faced thus far:

“Some time ago, the rights expired on the original script, so then there became doubt about who owns what after 35 years. That was being worked out by lawyers, and we were trying to figure out what we were going to do. We were trying to do a TV series, which we actually got pretty far down the road on. I was very happy with that. I thought it was going to be a lot of fun, and then the rights thing blew up and the TV series got postponed, and then the pandemic arrived.

“Finally, A24 decided that they would hook up with Peacock and do a Friday the 13th TV series. They were gonna hire Bryan Fuller, a very good writer. In the world of television, the showrunner, the main writer, is the star. That’s the person you have to have complete faith in, because it’s not the ability to write one story; it’s the ability to tell a new story every week. That’s very, very hard, and very few people can do it.

“Bryan got the job, and it was greenlit. It was going forward, they started to set up the writers’ room, and they didn’t like the road he was going down. They felt it was gonna be too dark. So they abandoned itand then hired another writer [Brad Caleb Kane].”

If this is going to be an F13 prequel, it’s a missed opportunity if they don’t call it Thursday the 12th.

That would be so awesome.

 

[VictusMortuus]

But why? Does anyone really want a movie or show that doesn’t focus on Jason?

LFG!

 

[DarkKnight88]

I mean Cardellini will definitely be fun (as long as they lean into the camp ala Penguin), but this idea sounds all sorts of terrible to make a full series out of;
Pamela Vorhees giving up her singing career to take care of little Jason until he drowns and all hell breaks loose.

Please get the tone right and don’t save his drowning for the last episode of the season lol

 

[Pennywise]

Cardellini’s Pamela is believed to be a mother who had given up a singing career to raise a special needs child and takes a dark turn when she loses her son.

 

[TheVileOne]

Is this basically going to be like Bates Motel except the Voorhees family?
