With the very weak showing for the remake of Friday the 13th, I am not surprised that this news has come out.
It’s Dead.
There will be no sequel, and it will not live on.
Asked about its status, Fuller mentioned on his Twitter account that the project “is dead – not happening” and later told Bloody Disgusting that “right now there is no movement on Friday 13th: Part 2”.
When they announced that they were remaking Friday the 13th, I was skeptical. The original few had some scare factor in it, but at the time there really wasn’t any “slasher” flicks like it, so it got a pass.
But then sequel after sequel proved that Jason was a broken record, always coming back from the dead, killing some people, the virgin survives and we got to see some gore. Boring.
And the remake didn’t offer much more. In fact it only proved how it doesn’t live up to that memory of how scary these movies are. We just dont care about the character.
I won’t loose sleep over this franchise killing itself off.
