Vi vill ha skräck när det vankas höstsäsong i biograferna, det är statistiskt bevisat och idag lika självskrivet som att sommarmånadernas releasekalender fylls till bredden av påkostade storfilmer. Och när allt gammalt är nytt, när alla gamla filmföljetonger och allehanda 80-talssuccéer görs om på nytt, vore det väl ytterst märkligt om inte hockeymålvakten Jason och hans machete gjorde storstilad comeback. Vilket kommer att ske. Premiären sker fredagen den 13:e oktober, i år, och inspelningen kommer att inledas i början av mars. Detta rapporterar Deadline Hollywood samt Cinemablend som skriver såhär om det hela:
"This production schedule also appears to line up with previous rumors and reports associated with the upcoming Friday the 13th reboot. We recently heard that casting for the horror project began sometime in December, and if production is slated to bring in spring, then we can reasonably assume that some important casting announcements will be made in the very near future.
It remains to be seen whether or not the Friday the 13th franchise will find new footing with this reboot. We still don't know much about the overarching plot of the film, but one of the most talked about aspects of the reboot is the fact that it will delve far deeper into the history of the Voorhees family than ever before. Among other things, this will involve bringing Jason Voorhees' long-absent father into the equation. Horror reboots films have seen mixed success when it comes to delving into the history of an iconic villain (Michael Myers comes to mind), so we will have to wait and see whether or not shining new light onto the backstory of this horror legend will help the film in any significant fashion."
