"The FRIDAY THE 13th remake/sequel/whatever project—which has seen its share of legal ups and downs ever since being announced earlier this year—ain’t so dead after all, it seems. When last we heard, things were at a standstill as production outfit Platinum Dunes decided to slow down on its approach to a possible early-2007 release via New Line (remember, it was initially supposed to hit Friday, October 13 of this year), and survey the specifics of who owned the rights.
In a recent chat with Jonathan Liebesman (pictured above at right), who helmed the upcoming TEXAS CHAINSAW MASSACRE: THE BEGINNING for Platinum Dunes and New Line, Fango has learned the future FRIDAY director is heading back to the studio in the coming days to pitch his take on a film that is geared to reignite and overhaul the franchise. While he’d like to give us the specifics of his vision, Liebesman has politely asked us to keep mum. “I’m afraid that things will change between the time you run the story and what the outcome of my meeting will be,” he laughs. “I don’t want to get the fans all excited and then see them pissed off that they got excited over nothing!”
Fair enough; this bodes well for Voorhees fans nonetheless. Stay tuned for more details as they come in."
they reopened a Suncoast near me, and the other day they had a new Friday shirt that *SHOCK GASP* I had no desire to get. Odd.
