‘Friday the 13th’ Might Film in the Next Six Months

Published

The California Film & Television Tax Credit Program has released information on 28 different films it is giving tax credits to, which is being done to help with job creation. Among these films was Platinum Dunes’ Friday the 13th, which received a credit of $5.6 million, according to Variety.

Here’s the twist: in order to keep these tax credits, the films have to shoot within 180 days of receiving the news. Films can of course drop out and reapply but nothing is guaranteed. All films that apply are eligible to a credit of up to 25% of their production budget, so it’s possible that Friday the 13th is on the high-end of the spectrum. Considering that Marcus Nispel’s 2009 reboot had a budget of $19 million, I don’t see why it wouldn’t be a similar case.

Yesterday brought the news that The Crazies Breck Eisner is in talks to direct the newest entry in the long-running franchise. Prisoners scribe Aaron Guzikowski turned in his screenplay last month, which Platinum Dunes producer Brad Fuller called an “origin-ish” story.

We’re going to go back and we’re going to meet that family,” Fuller told Yahoo back in June, speaking of the Voorhees clan. Form confirmed, adding, “We’re going to meet the family. You’re gonna meet Pamela, Elias, and Jason. And you’re gonna see how it all happened.

As of this writing the plan is for Jason to return on Friday, January 13, 2017, although this is highly unlikely. I believe Paramount will shift it to October 13, 2017 within the next few weeks.

SCREAMBOX Investigates UFOs and Extraterrestrials: Several Documentaries Streaming Right Now!

Published

on

As someone who is obsessed with UFOS (or more recently known as UAPs) and the concept of extraterrestrials, I love a good documentary. Sightings have been on the rise since the 1940s, with the atomic bomb seemingly acting as a catalyst for new visitors. But what are these UFOs/UAPs? Is there an explanation or are they simply beyond our explanation? Why are they here? Who are they? How much do our governments know? The questions are endless and so are the documentaries that attempt to uncover the secrets behind decades of sightings and alleged confrontations.

Whether you’re a seasoned viewer or new to the rabbit hole, there’s always a handful of interesting documentaries to get your neurons firing and leave you with sleepless nights. SCREAMBOX is investigating with the addition of several docs, all streaming now on the Bloody Disgusting-powered service. Here’s the breakdown:
