So close, yet so far away. Going to scream…
The other day we got pretty excited to learn of progress on the next Friday the 13th, which currently has Prisoners scribe Aaron Guzikowski penning the screenplay.
The implication was that there was momentum on the long-tinkered with project, which will be a period piece of sorts that resurrects the iconic Jason Voorhees.
We went digging for new information to share, and came back with a little.
What we now know is that the script is due next month (April) and that there’s a tentative plan to begin filming at the end of summer.
Nothing is imminent as the screenplay needs to be greenlit and a director still needs to be hired. Talks have not yet begun, we’re told.
With that, it’s time to take the party hats off for a few more weeks until we learn more. But one thing is for certain, Friday the 13th will eventually make it back into theaters, hopefully by Paramount’s January 2017 date.
Waiting patiently…
