Back in April we got the word that a sequel to the FRIDAY THE 13TH reboot would ‘not be happening.’ Obviously that was some solid news because it’s been seven months without an inkling of an update on the project… Until today.
While no confirmation has been made, FRIDAY THE 13TH’s official website Fridaythe13thFilms.com reports that there’s finally some movement being made with this stalled project. At first the site was stating how Warner Bros. were openly searching for an F/X company to start conducting makeup tests for the film, but that was quickly debunked apparently. Now while that piece of news was proven false the site is still reporting that a sequel to the 2009 reboot is in the works!
You can go ahead and take that for what it’s worth. While there’s still no confirmation we’re going to go ahead and roll with the idea that FRIDAY THE 13TH PART 2 is indeed in the works. Word has it Platinum Dunes are off the project as well, which is understandable considering their busy slate.
Now it’s time for the questions to start rolling. Potential directors for this bad boy? Will Derek Mears be returning? Is this even legitimately in the works? So many questions with absolutely no solid answers. You can bet your ass we’ll keep our eyes and ears open for more updates regarding FRIDAY THE 13TH PART 2, or anything else Jason Voorhees for that matter, so be sure to keep it here for that as it comes our way!
