Watch the Teaser for Upcoming ‘Friday the 13th Part 3’ Documentary
A new fan doc explores the new dimension in terror.
The Friday the 13th franchise has been covered in a couple documentaries over the years, including His Name Was Jason and Crystal Lake Memories, but there’s always room for more stories about the series. What makes this documentary unique, however, is that it’s focused not on the decades-spanning saga but rather on one film: 1982’s Friday the 13th Part 3.
Why an entire documentary about that one film? Well, the third installment in the Friday the 13th franchise is nothing if not a pivotal one. In addition to being one of the most beloved sequels in the entire series, it’s of course the one where Jason Voorhees acquired his iconic hockey mask, and it’s also the film that brought Voorhees into three-dimensions. But more than anything, the doc aims to pay tribute to Richard “Jason” Brooker, who unfortunately passed away back in 2013.
Director Kevin R. Phipps explains:
In April 2013, the Friday the 13th family suddenly lost Mr. Richard Brooker. Portraying Jason in Friday the 13th part 3, he was the first individual to don the now iconic hockey mask. Richard was a terrific human being & a friend to all.
In addition, the Higgins Haven cabin used in the film was burned down by some careless vagrants in 2006. These two events sparked us into action to do something with the one of a kind on location video footage we shot from 2003 & 2005. It was the last footage and photography shot before the set’s demise in 2006.
The project has grown leaps and bounds over the past year & continues to bring on board various Friday the 13th alumni that starred in part 3 as well friends of Richard’s that are still working in the film industry today. Their interviews are pivotal in giving the backstory of the production of part 3 as well as insight into the man Richard Brooker was.
This documentary’s intentions are to preserve the memory of this movie & Richard Brooker.
Check out the teaser for Friday the 13th Part 3: The Memoriam Documentary below.
Ryan Gosling (Project Hail Mary) has made no secret of the fact that he’d love to play Ghost Rider in a Marvel Cinematic Universe movie, and it’s now officially happening.
Announced by Marvel out of San Diego Comic-Con tonight, Ryan Gosling will play the iconic Marvel character in a Ghost Rider movie being directed by Shawn Levy!
Expect Ryan Gosling to play Ghost Rider on the big screen in 2028.
Johnny Blaze is of course the most iconic and well-known Ghost Rider, selling his soul to Satan and becoming a supernatural badass. Nicolas Cage brought Blaze to life on screen in both 2007’s Ghost Rider and 2011’s Ghost Rider: Spirit of Vengeance, while Gabriel Luna more recently played the Robbie Reyes version of Ghost Rider in the series “Agents of S.H.I.E.L.D.”
Luna was set to star in his own Ghost Rider spinoff series in the wake of that small screen appearance, but that Hulu project ended up being squashed before it ever had a chance.
Fans have been waiting for Ghost Rider to join the Marvel Cinematic Universe for many years now, with Ryan Gosling making it clear that he’d love to bring the character back to life.
That Hollywood dream is coming true. Stay tuned for more as we learn it.
