‘Friday the 13th’ Sequel Dead and Not Happening
While hangin’ on ol’ Twitter, BC discovered @Mayroth_Tucker3’s tweet asking Platinum Dunes producer Brad Fuller, “Hows the F13 sequel coming along?” to which Fuller replied, “it is dead- not happening.” Bummer news after hearing that New Line Cinema and Warner Bros. were aiming to have the film in theaters for August 13, 2010. We checked in with Fuller who added, “Right now there is no movement on Friday 13th: Part 2.” The sequel to the 2009 Friday the 13th remake penned by Damian Shannon and Mark Swift was going to be shot in 3-D and feature the return of Derek Mears as the new Jason Voorhees. Considering the redo made a whopping $40m in its opening weekend, and with Elm Street looking to open huge next Friday, this comes as a major shocker.

Keanu Reeves Describes Untitled Time Loop Thriller from Director Tim Miller as ‘Groundhog Day’ With Sharks
At one point known as Shiver, Tim Miller‘s (Deadpool, Terminator: Dark Fate) next movie doesn’t yet have a title, but star Keanu Reeves offers a very intriguing tease this week.
Chatting with Collider, Reeves explains what drew him to the mysterious upcoming project from director Tim Miller. He tells the outlet, “Sharks. Time machine. Groundhog Day.”
That lines up with early plot details that surfaced earlier this year, with the film said to center on a “smuggler in the middle of a deadly double-cross while on a job in the Caribbean Sea.”
That synopsis continued, “Surrounded by bodies, hostile mercenaries, and bloodthirsty sharks, the man finds himself in a time loop and scrambling to break the cycle.”
Callie Cooke (“The Stranger”), Stefan Kapičić (Deadpool), Steven Waddington (Sleepy Hollow), Nicholas Duvernay (“The White Lotus”), Abraham Popoola (Cruella), Anastasia Safonov, and Bobby Holland Hanton (Thor: Love and Thunder) also star.
Ian Shorr (Splinter, Infinite) penned the screenplay for the sci-fi thriller, which had previously been described as having shades of Edge of Tomorrow and The Shallows.
Stay tuned for more on the untitled Warner Bros. project.
