Friday The 13th Blog

A few fans have emailed with some information and concerns over what was mentioned on NPR (National Public Radio) this past Friday, August 13th. I did not listen to the show, but apparently, Garrison Keeler of Prairie Home Companion mentioned Friday July 13, 2012 as the release date for the next Friday the 13th film.
We [...]

This has been briefly mentioned among fans on our website and in other forums across the world wide web. However, the prospect of Jason Voorhees working for Lionsgate isn’t completely out of the question. I know that we have received a number of emails from fans asking if this indeed is a possibility. Nothing official [...]

Most people agree that Adam Green has a definite love for horror and his retro slasher flick ‘Hatchet’ delivered the gore and the, um, women. His newest released film, ‘Frozen’, provided a more psychological twist to the horror genre giving the audience tense scenes and a feeling of dispair. Combining the elements from these two films [...]

You know, it almost becomes comical to visit IMDb.com to lookup information on future film releases. There is so much misinformation posted on that website for films that are either in pre-production or not in production at all, it’s scary! For instance, last year ‘Friday the 13th 2′, the proposed sequel to the 2009 reboot, [...]

If there is one lesson learned from Rob Zombie’s Halloween movies, it’s that you should not name your sequel the same as the original series sequel. For instance, when having a conversation with someone about Zombie’s Halloween 2, the inevitable situation will occur and the question will be asked, “are you talking about Halloween 2 [...]

I wanted to start off by saying that I am not usually a fan of just running with a story automatically without researching the background first. We have seen in the last few months how websites get a sniff of something newsworthy and then publish it without reading up on exactly what they are posting [...]

While reporting the success of the remake of A Nightmare On Elm Street from this past weekend, the Associated Press mentioned that the Nightmare franchise would have a long life ahead of it. Here’s what Dan Fellman, head of distribution at Warner Bros. had to say about that in regards to future sequels:
“It’s certainly something [...]

Brad Fuller of Platinum Dunes had been answering a lot of questions on his Twitter account and yesterday through to today he has been throwing around the word “dead” in relation to the Friday the 13th sequel. Bloody Disgusting has picked up on this fact and ran a short story about it tonight. So, in order to [...]

One aspect of the “new” franchise that may not have been considered as a potential problem for future Friday the 13th movies is the fact that Warner Bros. and Paramount are currently still partners. The rights for this franchise and the characters that are used have seemingly attached these two distributors at the hip. Knowing this [...]

Well, right after we post a little update on the Friday the 13th sequel, Dread Central interviews Brad Fuller about the Nightmare On Elm Street remake and the, get this, new direction Platinum Dunes is moving towards. From the sound of Mr. Fuller’s comments, we won’t be seing Jason Voorhees anytime soon and probably not [...]

I get a good amount of email every week asking about the fate of the sequel to last years series reboot. I have been also reading a lot of questions about the sequel on the Chat box and even within the blogs that have nothing to do with the sequel. So, I thought I would [...]

At first I thought this would be crazy. The Halloween franchise has run down this path already. There have been a number of people who visit this website as well as have contacted PD that have hinted at the possibility of the next Friday the 13th remaking itelf again. Basically, starting all over, going back [...]

What has happened to Friday the 13th and even more so, Jason Voorhees? When I was a kid, everyone was scared of Jason. I mean, even my Dad would get a little freaked out at seeing Jason running after Trish in The Final Chapter. Now, Jason is an action figure, an anti-hero and for some [...]

I recently found this Region B Blu-Ray Triple pack and I think it’s awesome! The set contains Friday the 13th Part 2, Friday the 13th Part 3, and Friday the 13th (2009). It’s cool to see Paramount able to release these movies together in one pack. You can watch some vintage Friday the 13th and [...]

This goes to show that Friday the 13th fans are loyal to their franchise. Amidst the much anticipated release of the Nightmare On Elm Street remake, Brad Fuller of Platinum Dunes gets asked on a daily basis about the status of the Friday the 13th sequel. He gets his fair share of Nightmare questions as [...]

With all of the talk about the possible release date for the sequel to 2009’s re-imagining, I have a theory, keep in mind its just my opinion that it is possible that Platinum Dunes could start filming scenes in August and then again film some more scene between November and December to get the snow, [...]

Proof for the Preservation of Continuity
I, personally, found in it all I needed to classify it as a Sequel. I guess it depends on how you define Sequel. To me, in Friday the 13Th and Franchises like it, a Sequel is defined as a new entry into the series that does not definitively [...]

Brad Fuller posted an update about the Friday sequel at the Platinum Dunes official blog. If you want to view the entire posting, which includes information on the new Nightmare On Elm Street movie, visit the blog. For everyone else, read what they had to say below.
Let’s talk Friday 13th. We have busted our ass [...]

Now, I must start off by saying this is nothing official as Platinum Dunes nor Warner Bros. have officially announced a date for the sequel, but I have heard and checked around that Friday May 13th 2011 is a target date for the sequel to be released in theaters. I originally stated last week that [...]

Ah, yes the great hype. Many of us (at least me anyways) were pretty satisfied with the 2009 re-imagining/reboot film. Platinum Dunes seem to be on a roll with these remakes/reboots. They currently have A nightmare on elm street scheduled for an April 2010 release date, and after that the focus is supposed to go [...]
