Fans Re-Animate Jason Voorhees With Faux Trailer for New ‘Friday the 13th’
So it’s Friday the 13th, and we once again have no new Friday the 13th film on the horizon. This makes us sad, but the good news is that fans are taking matters into their own hands.
In the wake of the Friday the 13th remake in 2009, which brought back Jason while simultaneously hitting the pause button on the franchise for nearly ten years now, countless fans have come along to make their own Friday the 13th movies and faux trailers.
After all, someone has to keep the big guy alive.
This latest trailer for a nonexistent new Friday the 13th movie, released this morning, comes to us from fan Nick Merola, who missed Jason and did something about it.
“Friday the 13th is one of the longest-running film franchises of all time and fans have long awaited Jason’s return to the big screen,” Merola said of the New Jersey-shot teaser. “The purpose of the trailer is to announce the return of this slasher legend and to let the fans know they have not been forgotten – Jason lives!”
Happy Friday the 13th!
Filming is underway on The Invisible Man director Leigh Whannell’s Wolf Man for Universal and Blumhouse, which will be howling its way into theaters on January 17, 2025.
Deadline reports that Matilda Firth (Disenchanted) is the latest actor to sign on, joining Christopher Abbott (Poor Things), Julia Garner (The Royal Hotel), and Sam Jaeger.
The project will mark Whannell’s second monster movie and fourth directing collaboration with Blumhouse Productions (The Invisible Man, Upgrade, Insidious: Chapter 3).
Wolf Man stars Christopher Abbott as a man whose family is being terrorized by a lethal predator.
Writers include Whannell & Corbett Tuck as well as Lauren Schuker Blum & Rebecca Angelo.
Jason Blum is producing the film. Ryan Gosling, Ken Kao, Bea Sequeira, Mel Turner and Whannell are executive producers. Wolf Man is a Blumhouse and Motel Movies production.
In the wake of the failed Dark Universe, Leigh Whannell’s The Invisible Man has been the only real success story for the Universal Monsters brand, which has been struggling with recent box office flops including the comedic Renfield and period horror movie The Last Voyage of the Demeter. Giving him the keys to the castle once more seems like a wise idea, to say the least.
