Small Movement On Friday the 13th 2?

March 31, 2011 13
Friday the 13th fans like getting any type of small morsel of information that pertains to a new Friday the 13th movie. There has been a lot of rumor and conjecture floating about the web on the progress of a new sequel. We have tried to only report on facts or relevant information that is leaked, but we found some recent comments by Brad Fuller interesting.

Last night, Brad Fuller of Platinum Dunes posted a message on his Twitter account that said the following:

Landing at lax in 15 mins. Got to keep pushing Jason rock up this huge mountain.

After Mr. Fuller tweeted that message, he was asked if there was any word on a new Nightmare or Friday the 13th movie, in which Brad responded with the following:

thanks, we are trying to get something started and as soon as we do I will let you know.

Now, this is indeed conjecture for now, but when the Producer of the latest Friday the 13th film is stating that he is landing in L.A., mentions Jason and then says he is trying to get something started, well, you put it all together and see what you take from that. File this under the 'getting our hopes up' category for now, but any positive thoughts on this frustrating situation is worth mentioning, even for those fans that have begun to give up.

    I think it would be great if Brad could convince Warner Bros. to get this thing going!

    Well, I am skeptical that anything will get done right now, but you never know. It is indeed interesting that Brad is tweeting all of this now. Would he do that if he didn't think anything would really happen?

    Although it's good to hear about the possibility of something happening on a sequel, I now have learned to just wait until an official announcement comes down that a movie is greenlit

    I, for one, liked the 2009 film. Platinum Dunes did a good job with it. I think Fuller knows that for 15+ million dollars, they can make something that can make 6x that at the box office. I'm sure that he is driving that point home with the WB/New Line brass. They have a script, a production team, etc. They have all the locations scouted, the tax benefits lined up from the 2009 movie. Home run. Remember, it isn't just box office. Jason is a brand name. Business! Making another profitable movie means more money from HBO and OnDemand, licensing halloween costumes, dvd/bluray sales, etc. Jason will still turn a profit. I just wonder if Jason can survive the recession and the Obama presidency! 2012 has 3 "Friday the 13ths". I think one has to be a release date!

    I'm not getting my hopes up until something more solid materializes. In the meantime, I am looking forward to a picture that comes out in a couple of weeks. People are SCREAMing 4 it!

    I enjoyed the newest movies as well and agree that there is a ton of money to be made from producing a new movie. Warner Bros. just needs to let this happen.

    I have never seen a post of Jasonfury's turn political but there may be some legitimacy to your claim about the current administration and horror movies. The horror genre tends to do better when there is a conservative administration. I have heard Stephen King and Georg Romero say the same thing. Why that is, I do not know. Think about it. 80's horror was great. 90's horror, not so much. We got a shit load of good horror in the last decade. It's still too early to tell what this decade has to offer as far as horror, but I'll be here to find out. This has nothing to do with what side of the fence I sit on, but I find it to be a facinating observation.

    Yea, I try to avoid political statements, personally.Wasingtonbc does make interesting points though!

    It sounds like he talked to everyone and hasn't received word one way or the other yet. It would be nice to get good news, but being optimistic at this point is hard. I hope the fans hear what they want in the near future!
