Next 'Friday the 13th' in the works
By Steven Zeitchik

Jason's coming back.

The villain who's defied death more often than Evil Knievel is making another appearance on the big screen. Sources saying that New Line and Platinum Dunes are moving forward on a new “Friday the 13th" and that Damian Shannon and Mark Swift, who wrote the recently released reboot, beginning work on a script for a new picture.

There's a catch, though.

Unlike the sophomore efforts of other franchises, the new “Friday” is expected to be not a sequel so much as a follow-up, those familiar with the project say. Jason Voorhees will be the villain, of course, but the new picture is expected to use elements of the original franchise more as a jumping-off point than as a template.

The reason? The reboot drew from the first four pictures in the “Friday” series, and producers are said not to be keen on the plot elements of the half-dozen movies that followed. And Marcus Nispel, who directed the latest film, is a possible but unlikely candidate to helm the “Friday” follow-up; the director is believed to be fielding offers for movies across other genres.

The wild cards are stars Jared Padalecki and Amanda Righetti; though both survive in the latest film and are considered rising young stars, they also are on hit TV shows (“Supernatural” and “The Mentalist,” respectively) and their schedules could be too packed.

Insiders caution that there is no green light and Platinum Dunes and New Line are actively working together on another franchise reboot, “A Nightmare on Elm Street,” which is set to start shooting in two months.

Still, the “Friday” property is a desirable one, and in a best-case scenario the next film could be ready as early as the second half of 2010.

The first reboot, which brought a group of attractive young victims nack to get slashed at Camp Crystal Lake, was one of the surprise hits of the winter, earning $70 million worldwide. New Line and Paramount split domestic and international rights on the recent release and likely would do so again on a new picture.

In addition to the new “Friday,” the CAA-repped Shannon and Swift are in development on a number of other projects, including “Inland Saints” for Paramount and “Jerry the Giant Killer” for Columbia.

Sort of confusing article. So this next movie doesn't continue from the recent movie? Is it another reboot or just a F13 movie that doesnt' use any previous movie as 'history'?

Sure F13 (2009) borrowed from original movies. Doesn't mean pt2 has to take ideas from the other movies.

[Suprmallet]

Also, it appears the writer of the article didn't actually watch the movie. Otherwise he wouldn't be talking about those stars working the new movie into their schedules.

[Torchur317]

They need new screenwriters for this sequel....

[RocShemp]

So it's not a sequel because it's not another remake but it does follow after the events of the first remake? *head explodes*

That article makes no sense whatsoever.

[Suprmallet]

I think their point was they aren't going to use the other Friday sequels as inspiration for where this new series will be headed.

[RocShemp]

Yeah, I got that. But that doesn't stop it from being a sequel. It'll be a sequel to the remake but wont be a remake itself. Still a sequel.

[ReduxGuy]

PLEASE get rid of Shannon, Swift and Nispel. All three of them have siphoned the fun out of watching a Friday the 13th movie, making it into a drab gorebath.

Spoiler for the one in theaters now:

It was my impression that neither survived. The last shot of the movie is Jason bursting up through the pier and grabbing the girl after they disposed of his "dead" body in the lake. Of course, this means next to nothing in a horror flick.

After this one made a lot more than expected, there was obviously going to be a sequel, or a follow-up.

[RocShemp]

They'll probably follow F13th tradition and have them offed during the openning of the second film. :shrug:

[chris_sc77]

I hope they move it out of crystal lake and make it fun like Jason goes to Manhatten. Or give t some continuity like a new "tommy" or something.
The remake was just completely joyless, predictable and a waste of my time.

[starseed1981]

I'd see a sequel, I just hope the kills are abit more over the top than the remake.

[KillerCannibal]

Count me in as another that would love to see a new Tommy Jarvis story arc for the sequel. I don't know who I'd want to see write/direct this one, but I'm ok with Nispel being out, and I don't care if Shannon & Swift remain because there are MUCH worse writers that could end up handling this.

[DRG]

So far the sequels to the remakes (2006's Texas Chainsaw Massacre: The Beginning and 2007's Hills Have Eyes 2) have been a big step down from their predecessors. It just felt to me that neither film tried very hard.

I think its interesting that the article says: The reboot drew from the first four pictures in the “Friday” series

I can definitely see 1-3 in there, but not a lot of Part 4 other than the 'brother of victim comes to Crystal Lake for answers' subplot, and even that was heavily altered. Not that I have a problem with them veering in a new direction for the sequel, I'm actually in favor of it.

or ya'know, actual kills with blood!

How many memorable deaths were there in the reboot? One? And IMO, it was more memorable for the tits..

Also the idea of the kids going to a house out in the country (near Crystal Lake) to party is from part 4.

There might be more but can't think of them.

But Jason was in Manhattan for like a whole 15 minutes in that movie. I'd like to see them do Crystal Lake but during the winter where the Lake is frozen over.

Agreed. Both flicks were pretty damn bad. Really disappointing. Regardless, I'd give a Friday sequel a chance.

[achau9598]

Bingo!

I've always wanted to see Jason standing in the cold with steam from his breath coming through the holes of his mask. Also would be a good excuse for Jason to lift a victim straight up into a large icicle and having them slide slowly down it. (this idea (c)2009 by me)

[riley_dude]

It would be sad if Jared is that hard up for Movie work that he has to do another Friday the 13th movie during his Supernatural off time.
How about a Jason vs Michael Myers movie?

[Giles]

they need to do a rip off scene from the first Friday the 13th Part 2 with a couple get stabbed through with a spear in all it's gory detail, something the R-rated cut of the 1981 film was denied.

[BullGooseLoony]

The sequel needs to work off of more than nostalgia, which is sort of what the most recent film did. I liked the new FT13th, and I'm glad to see a sequel, but it's true, sequels to remakes have sucked (TCM 2, Hills Have Eyes 2), and this one is going to need to really up the ante if they want to make this an actual franchise. I may not have loved the Halloween remake, but at least Zombie is directing the sequel!

Maybe it is a dream sequence? The original bit in the original film was a dream, and this is a sort of homage to it, albeit it leaves you hanging by cutting to the credits. Thus the scene could be read as 'real' or a 'dream' currently.

Aren't you contradicting yourself?

[Suprmallet]

I'm sure the first thing they want to do, now that they've established that this iteration of Jason is a huge moneymaker, is to change from the formula they just set up.

[BullGooseLoony]

Aren't you contradicting yourself? Yes and no. The Halloween remake was flawed, simply because it was a remake of Halloween. As far as I'm concerned, there's nothing any director could have done to make the remake as good or better. The fact that they attempted the 45 minutes was novel, though unneccessary.

My larger point is that in these horror franchises, you never see any dedication to the story unfolding. There's usually a different director, screenwriter, and characters in every movie. These "sequels" turn out to be more like remakes. I liked Friday the 13th, but I already know that the sequel will be a complete retread.

Judging by Zombie's dedication to Halloween, the fact that it has some of the same characters, and the rumors that it is not a remake of Halloween II, I'm more faithful that this will be to Halloween what The Devil's Rejects was to House of 1000 Corpses: namely, better.

I was thinking that same thing. They could have done nods to kills from past films and had them in all their g(l)ory.
I think this 'reboot' was a total failure and the only way for this to have worked would have been:
-a Kill Bill or Grindhouse type "love letter" to the first 4 films, where Jason is killing campers but it's everything that worked and all the elements from the first 4 (which this film says they did, but didn't).
or
-a reamke of 1&2. Start with Alice finding everyone dead, and Mrs. Voorhees chasing her, the beheading, the dream in the canoe.... 5 years later Jason sees Alice return to Crystal Lake and kills her, cut to next day where camp next to Camp Crystal Lake is opening, and sack head Jason kills everyone off, Ginny pretends to be his mom at end... Jason finds and puts on hockey mask at END of film. Something for the next movie! (oh and film the follow-up at the original part 3 location!! It's still sitting there- though the house would have to be rebuilt.)

What they ended up doing was pointless and there is already nowhere to go. They don't want to do anything stupid (Jason Goes To...) and the only other thing is to stay stuck (more campers, kill everyone, etc)...
