It has been revealed that the next Friday the 13th will be a found footage film in an attempt to breathe new life into the horror series.
News broke last year that a new Friday the 13th film was to be released in 2015 and it could be another reboot. Then rumours started to circulate about the possibility that it could be shot like a found footage film. It looks like those rumours could become a reality, after Platinum Dunes’ Brad Fuller took an interview with Crave Online, where he admitted that Jason Vorhees isn’t a definite to appear, which will cause outrage among fans. 
“I don’t know because I don’t know if we’re going to have Jason,” said Fuller “I don’t know which Jason we’re going to have. I can tell you this, I love Derek Mears, I love working with him and he’s a dream so we’d be lucky to have him. I think if we’re going to go for a Jason Voorhees we would go with Derek [rather than Kane Hodder]. He’s our guy. Now it’s a matter of getting a script that we all love, that we feel like we can execute in a great way. That’s always the battle, isn’t it? [Found footage] is something that we’re looking at, yeah.
“I never know because it depends on the story and what the story is. It’s been reported, that’s something that we’re looking into but I can’t tell you definitively that that’s what the movie is… I’m well acquainted with some very loud members of the audience who hate found footage and I understand that. I think for us it’s more about what the story is and what’s the best way to tell it. Until we figure out exactly what the story is for the next Friday the 13th movie, I can’t tell you what it’s going to be.”
Do you want a found footage Friday the 13th without Jason? Let us know.
