Brad Fuller Updates ‘Friday the 13th’ Status
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.

‘Chucky’ – Brad Dourif, Fiona Dourif, and Alex Vincent Reunite to Talk the Past and Tease the Future [Video]
Who doesn’t love a good ol’ family reunion?
At Creep I.E. Con Aftermath, horror icons Brad Dourif, Fiona Dourif, and Alex Vincent sat down with Bloody Disgusting’s Shelby Novak (of Scare You to Sleep) and Michael Roffman (of Halloweenies) to discuss the past, present, and definitive future of the Chucky franchise.
Now, you can watch the full panel below.
The three share hilarious personal anecdotes about what it’s been like growing up together with Chucky in their lives. They also digress on the elasticity of the series and why they’re game for anything Don Mancini throws their way. Speaking of which, there is also a tease of what’s to come.
The video was directed and edited by Matt Sampere with Diandra Lazor.
