F13 2 on the way

FRIDAY THE 13TH f*cked up the box office over the weekend (as reported HERE), so it’s no surprise that Platinum Dunes producer Brad Fuller is alluding to a sequel via the Platinum Dunes’ OFFICIAL BLOG. I only say ‘allude’ because it hasn’t been officially announced yet, but… here’s just a snippet of what Fuller had to say:

You can bet your ass that we want to do a sequel – I have said that a number of times, but now we have evidence to support that desire. My first call on Tuesday will be to all of the people we worked with at the studios to get moving on another Friday 13th movie… I hope to make some announcements about a sequel very soon.

Can I get a ‘f*ck yeah’? F*CK YEAH! While I didn’t really like the cut and dry “rehash,” I think they’d be able to make a sequel to it that will actually be better, especially if they decide to give us more on Jason and his story and less on the idiots he’s butchering. That said, as long as they don’t go the TCM: THE BEGINNING route (i.e., just another remake of the remake), I think we’ll be ok.
