‘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.
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.
