Still No ‘Friday the 13th’ Script
There’s still no real news regarding the next installment of Friday the 13th.
And as of this moment, there still isn’t even a script.
“Just working on the script still,” Platinum Dunes producer Andrew Form tells Collider. “Hoping to make that movie this year and Brad [Form], I’m gonna confirm that Jason is in the movie.”
So, for those who are still e-mailing and tweeting me daily – YES, Jason Voorhees is in the movie, and no, there’s been no solid progress. This also doesn’t mean it’s time to panic. What it means is that it’s time to chill out and let the process take its course. At least Paramount is actually actively developing this. We should be asking New Line Cinema what the heck is up with Freddy Krueger and his A Nightmare On Elm Street…
David Bruckner (V/H/S, The Signal)is still at the helm of the new F13 with hopes of shooting the movie for its November 13, 2015 date. This is doable if they begin filming this summer.
Sunrise Films has announced the official North American release of William Bagley‘s horror comedy Hold the Fort, and it’s accompanied by an energetic new trailer.
Hold the Fort debuts on digital platforms on June 23.
In the film, “Lucas and Jenny think their life is finally coming together when the couple become homeowners. Little do they know that their new house comes with a big catch. Lucas and Jenny soon find themselves in a fight for their lives when they become trapped in a battle between their Homeowners Association and an onslaught of monsters from hell. The horror-comedy takes the timely concern of home-ownership and wraps this up in an entertaining action-packed thrill ride.“
Watch the new trailer below, which introduces one wild HOA gathering during an equinox. Things get bloody fast.
Chris Mayers (Adult Swim Yule Log), Haley Leary (“The Walking Dead”), Levi Burdick, and Julian Smith star.
William Bagley writes and directs, in addition to producing with Smith, Matt Dodd, Luke Williams, and Tim Reis (Adult Swim Yule Log).
Ahead of the release, Bagley said, “My goal with this film was to make a hilarious, fast-paced thrill ride while also telling a great story with heart. Hopefully, through all the blood, laughs, fights, and gags, you leave the film feeling inspired to tackle whatever life throws at you.“
Hold the Fort premiered at Fantasia last summer before going on to play FrightFest London, Toronto After Dark, and Beyond Fest.
I wrote in my review, “It’s an infectiously charming assemblage of jokes and monster vignettes bound together by a barebones plot with not much on its mind beyond delivering an entertaining time.”
