Cunningham Mentions Sequel Aim For 2012
Mr Cunningham was asked by fans about the potential sequel and its status and he told more than a few fans that "they are aiming for 2012". Aiming for a date is a lot different than actually having a solid date that has been approved by the distributor, however, it is at least encouraging to hear that even Sean is aware that the creative minds are attempting to get that long awaited sequel out to the fans. At this time, Warner Bros. has not approved anything along the lines of script or the project as a whole.
While you look at Brad Fuller's previous tweets about trying to get the sequel approved and now hear that Sean Cunningham is aware of a 2012 date to get the sequel film out into theaters, fans must at least be somewhat optimistic that the franchise is not an afterthought. However, it would be pretty difficult to get a new movie together in time for a release next year and as we reported a few weeks ago, it is more realistic that we will still have a few more years before Jason returning is a reality.
They really just need to get this done...... NOW! It seems like everyone involved wants to make another one except for Warner Bros. People rag on Platinum Dunes, but ti seems to me that Warner is the enemy here. Sell the distribution rights and let move on!
ReplyDeleteI agree. It seems like everyone wants to make it so lets get going Warner!!!! I just want Jason back again.
ReplyDeleteIf Sean is in the know with this then there must be some forward progress being made. C'mon, lets hope things are turning for the better!
ReplyDeleteI like the fact that it's 2012, that means a better movie (normally) because the time will be taken to make it good. Good to hear something though regarding this.
ReplyDeleteThough I would love to see it next year, I certainly don't want it to be rushed either. I'm just happy to hear anything because a period of absolutely nothing going on drives me crazy.
ReplyDeleteBring back Jason as soon as possible!
We're already more than halfway through 2011, and while developing, producing & releasing a film by the end of next year is definitely in the realm of possibility, there's no question it would be a rush job, and I don't want that, I doubt the majority of my fellow fans want that, and don't think the creative, rights-holding powers that be want it either. 2013 is not only much more realistic & more than enough time, it's very fitting as it would be the first & only film in the series to be released in a "13" year. The next chance they'd have for that won't be til the next millennium & while it wouldn't surprise me to see Jason still doing his thing on film a thousand years from now, none of us are gonna be around to see it... Unless one of you has some of Jason's mojo & you're holding out on the rest of us ;-)
ReplyDeleteI thought the exact same thing DecayNY. 2013 is very fitting for a new Friday film. Also, a 2012 release date is going to mean a rush job and that's not cool. If it means a better film, take your time folks!
