Even Kane Hodder is Hungry for ‘Friday the 13th’ to Return from the Grave
No, he probably won’t be involved. But he wants it anyway.
Despite a couple iterations of a Friday the 13th reboot *almost* getting off the ground in recent years, the franchise has remained dead for an uncharacteristically long period of time. In fact, we are currently in the midst of the longest stretch of time between Friday the 13th movies in history: at the time of writing this, it’s now been over 9 years!
What shape will Friday the 13th take once it’s finally brought back to life? We really have no idea at this point, but it’s likely that it’ll be Warner Bros. that produces the next installment in the franchise; the studio, after all, regains the rights this year. Then there’s that lawsuit from original writer Victor Miller, mucking things up further.
Whatever the hell is going on, Kane Hodder, who of course played Jason more than any other actor over the years, tells We Got This Covered that Friday needs to return.
“You’ve gotta do one more Friday movie,” Hodder told the site. “It’ll be the thirteenth one.”
Indeed, the next installment in the franchise would be the thirteenth Friday the 13th movie, which would needless to say be a pretty cool landmark for the franchise.
Here’s hoping we have some actual news for you in the coming months.
After pulling in $28 million at the worldwide box office this month, director (and star) Dev Patel’s critically acclaimed action-thriller Monkey Man is now available to watch at home.
You can rent Monkey Man for $19.99 or digitally purchase the film for $24.99!
Monkey Man is currently 88% Fresh on Rotten Tomatoes, with Bloody Disgusting’s head critic Meagan Navarro awarding the film 4.5/5 stars in her review out of SXSW back in March.
Meagan raves, “While the violence onscreen is palpable and painful, it’s not just the exquisite fight choreography and thrilling action set pieces that set Monkey Man apart but also its political consciousness, unique narrative structure, and myth-making scale.”
“While Monkey Man pays tribute to all of the action genre’s greats, from the Indonesian action classics to Korean revenge cinema and even a John Wick joke or two, Dev Patel’s cultural spin and unique narrative structure leave behind all influences in the dust for new terrain,” Meagan’s review continues.
She adds, “Monkey Man presents Dev Patel as a new action hero, a tenacious underdog with a penetrating stare who bites, bludgeons, and stabs his way through bodies to gloriously bloody excess. More excitingly, the film introduces Patel as a strong visionary right out of the gate.”
Inspired by the legend of Hanuman, Monkey Man stars Patel as Kid, an anonymous young man who ekes out a meager living in an underground fight club where, night after night, wearing a gorilla mask, he is beaten bloody by more popular fighters for cash. After years of suppressed rage, Kid discovers a way to infiltrate the enclave of the city’s sinister elite. As his childhood trauma boils over, his mysteriously scarred hands unleash an explosive campaign of retribution to settle the score with the men who took everything from him.
Monkey Man is produced by Jordan Peele’s Monkeypaw Productions.
