‘Friday the 13th’ Nabs “Hannibal” Writer!
Huge Friday the 13th news this Wednesday morning as “Hannibal” screenwriter Nick Antosca will be penning the new incarnation for director David Bruckner, Platinum Dunes and Paramount Pictures!
The new Friday the 13th will not be found-footage, but could clear up some unanswered questions about Jason Voorhees’ mythology.
Previously, it had been reported that the new Friday the 13th could take place in the 1980’s. In a more recent article, Brad Fuller of Platinum Dunes talked about his hopes for expanding Jason’s mythos and also taking the franchise back to summer camp.
It’s already exciting that it’s to be helmed by Bruckner, best known for The Signal and for one of the more popular V/H/S segments, ‘Amateur Night’, but to get a solid screenwriter in Antosca is beyond exciting. “Hannibal” is one of the best genre network series ever, and took what could have been one of the worst ideas and turned it into a television revelation. I’m not exactly sure how much credit Antosca gets for “Hannibal”, but he’s part of a team that did something unique and special, which is all I want from the next Friday the 13th.
Michael Bay, Andrew Form and Brad Fuller of Platinum Dunes are producing.
Friday the 13th aims for release on May 13, 2016.

Caroline Williams Starring in Christmas Slasher Movie ‘He Sees You When You’re Sleeping’ [Image]
Bloody Disgusting has learned this week that Caroline Williams (Texas Chainsaw Massacre 2) has joined the cast of He Sees You When You’re Sleeping, a Christmas slasher slated to be released this holiday season by The Horror Collective.
In the upcoming slasher, a young man’s Christmas homecoming turns into a nightmare as a killer in a Santa suit gruesomely picks off his estranged, wealthy family for their fortune.
Williams is joined by Nicholas Vince, known for his role in the original Hellraiser, as well as David Lenik (An English Haunting), Peyton Michelle Edwards (Goodbye Honey), and Lauren Marie-Taylor (Friday the 13th Part 2).
Director/Producer Charlie Steeds said in a statement, “I knew David Lenik’s campy Christmas-themed slasher would be a blast to direct. It’s set in the ’80s and we filmed on location in New York State. The script draws inspiration from horror classics such as Black Christmas, Scream and Silent Night, Deadly Night which are all films I adore.”
“Christmas horror films blend holiday cheer with thrilling chills, offering a fresh and exciting twist on traditional celebrations. They’re perfect for those looking to spice up their holiday viewing,” commented Shaked Berenson, CEO of The Horror Collective’s partner company, Entertainment Squad.
The Horror Collective is the genre label of Entertainment Squad, a finance and distribution company founded by veteran producer Shaked Berenson (Turbo Kid, Tales of Halloween). The labels’ latest productions include the killer-pants cult classic Slaxx (Shudder Original) and the critically acclaimed LGBTQ+ horror-comedy Summoning Sylvia.
