Writers Finally Reveal Title to ‘Friday the 13th’ Remake’s Unmade Sequel

Published

When it came time to reboot the Friday the 13th franchise, Platinum Dunes made the wise choice of bringing aboard two mega fans of the series to write the script: Damian Shannon and Mark Swift, who had years prior penned Freddy vs. Jason.

Released in 2009 and directed by Marcus Nispel (The Texas Chainsaw Massacre), the Friday the 13th remake divided fans (as all remakes do), but many agreed that it did justice to the franchise and, for better or worse, *felt* like a Friday the 13th movie. It also did pretty well at the box office, suggesting that a sequel wasn’t far behind.

Unfortunately, we’ve *still* never gotten a sequel to the Friday the 13th remake, and at this point it seems fairly certain that any subsequent installments in the franchise will not be picking up where the 2009 remake left off. After all, it’s now been nearly ten years since Nispel’s film hit theaters, so another reboot is far more likely.

But once upon a time, Shannon and Swift actually did write a sequel to their remake. And this week, they’ve taken to Twitter to finally reveal the title of that film…

Friday the 13th: Camp Blood – The Death of Jason Voorhees

In subsequent tweets, Shannon and Swift revealed that the film was set to be a direct sequel to the remake, but centered on new characters rather than continuing Whitney and Clay’s story. As they had previously noted, the 2009 remake’s sequel was also going to be set in the Winter, which would’ve been a first for the franchise.

As for the specifics of the sequel’s story, Shannon and Swift are still keeping their lips sealed. They still hope to someday get the film made, and don’t want to spoil it.

But it seems they had planned on killing Jason Voorhees once and for all…

Anya Taylor-Joy fights the world in George Miller’s hotly anticipated Furiosa: A Mad Max Saga, the upcoming prequel to Mad Max: Fury Road that’s coming next month.

Warner Bros.’ Furiosa has been rated “R” this week for…

“Sequences of strong violence, and grisly images.”

Furiosa will release in theaters on May 24, 2024. The film will tell the origin story of the character Charlize Theron made famous in Fury Road, also directed by George Miller.

“As the world fell, young Furiosa is snatched from the Green Place of Many Mothers and falls into the hands of a great Biker Horde led by the Warlord Dementus. Sweeping through the Wasteland they come across the Citadel presided over by the Immortan Joe. While the two Tyrants war for dominance, Furiosa must survive many trials as she puts together the means to find her way home.”

Chris Hemsworth co-stars as Warlord Dementus.

Whereas Fury Road essentially happened over three days and two nights, this happens over many years,” Miller had teased during a press conference last year.

Miller is co-writing and directing the movie for Warner Bros.

Back in 2015, Mad Max: Fury Road grossed nearly $400 million worldwide at the box office and won SIX Oscars, while also scoring rave reviews nearly across the entire board.

Last we heard, Miller also intends on making sequels centered on Tom Hardy‘s Mad Max.
