Next Friday the 13th Film Slashes Up a New Writer
The next installment in the Friday the 13th franchise has been pushed back a couple times now, and the latest word is that it’s headed our way in 2017. Why the delays? Paramount and Platinum Dunes have been searching for the right writer to crack this one, and they may have found him.
Per Variety, Prisoners scribe Aaron Guzikowski is in negotiations to write the film, though Paramount has offered up no official response. Michael Bay will produce along with his Platinum Dunes partners Andrew Form and Brad Fuller, and last we heard, David Bruckner was directing.
While plot details are still under wraps, the film will of course focus on the return of legendary mass murderer Jason Voorhees, who has terrorized inhabitants of the Camp Crystal Lake for the past three decades. We’ve been told it won’t be found footage, nor will it be set during the winter.
Guzikowski is one hell of a writer, so this is fantastic news.
