There has been a lot of back and forth when it comes to a new entry in the Friday the 13th franchise. From new writers to new directors to “back to the drawing board” and everything in between, it feels like the chance of us seeing Jason Voorhees hack and slash his way through counselors again is but a distant hope. However, Platinum Dunes co-founder Brad Fuller has just opened up in an interview about the current status of the film.
Firstly, he explains that the current writer is Aaron Guzikowski, who wrote the 2013 crime mystery film Prisoners. “He’s a better writer than we deserve for this franchise,” Fuller gushes. At this point, he explains that he and the studio sent notes back to Guzikowski and they’re just waiting for an updated version of the script before deciding on the next step.
Additionally, Fuller talks about the rumors of the film going the “found footage” route. “I didn’t want to do a found footage version of that movie… It didn’t feel like the right way to make the movie.” Fuller states.
