Jason Reacts to ‘Friday the 13th: The Game’
We’ve been watching Jason react to nearby camp counselors since he first came into our lives back in 1980. He’s kept an unbroken coat of crimson on the silver screen for almost four decades, so it’s refreshing to see him react to something in a way that doesn’t involve the swift downward arc of a machete followed by various wet sounds as some poor sap desperately tries to stuff their glistening outsides back in with the rest of their insides.
Too much? Sorry, I’ve been reading a lot of Clive Barker lately.
Jason will get an endless drip-feed of fresh blood when Friday the 13th: The Game arrives this fall. Until then, enjoy this clever video from YouTuber Jason Takes Omegle, who rightly assumed it’d be worth watching him react to the game’s announcement trailer.
Brendan Fraser is back for the upcoming fourth installment in The Mummy franchise from directors Radio Silence, and Michael Johnston (Obsession) is now in talks to join him.
The Hollywood Reporter lets us know tonight that Michael Johnston is in “early talks” to join The Mummy 4, which will release in theaters on October 15, 2027 via Universal.
Brendan Fraser, Rachel Weisz, and John Hannah will reprise their iconic roles as Rick O’Connell, Evelyn O’Connell, and Jonathan Carnahan in the upcoming movie.
Radio Silence duo Matt Bettinelli-Olpin & Tyler Gillett (Ready or Not, Scream 5-6) are directing from a script by David Coggeshall (Orphan: First Kill).
Plot details are being kept under wraps at this time, but the brand new sequel is expected to disregard the events of the third movie, in which Rachel Weisz did not appear.
“It’s just really beautiful and scary and sweeping, and it’s awesome,” Gillet teases. Bettinelli-Olpin adds that the film “has all of the heart and the character that you could hope for.”
A remake of the classic Universal monster movie that took an action-adventure approach, The Mummy was released in 1999 and grossed $417 million worldwide. It was followed by The Mummy Returns in 2001 and The Mummy: Tomb of the Dragon Emperor in 2008.
