We really feared the worst for Friday the thirteenth earlier this yr, as its long-awaited prequel collection Crystal Lake hit a snag nobody thought it could come again from.
Bryan Fuller, greatest recognized for his work on profitable horror exhibits like Hannibal, exited the challenge as showrunner. In a flurry of confusion and conflicting studies, rumours flew that Fuller had actually been fired, his imaginative and prescient for the present deemed “too formidable.”
Regardless of the case, Fuller took screenwriter Kevin Williamson with him when he departed, and with them went a “45-minute chase scene round a frozen Crystal Lake.” Followers accepted that this was simply the most recent improvement in what some name the “Friday Curse,” as every try at a brand new challenge hardly ever has a contented ending.
Nonetheless, A24 and Peacock assured followers that the challenge was nonetheless lively, and so they meant to press forward. Most Friday followers didn’t imagine them… but it surely seems we must always have.
It has been confirmed that Brad Caleb Kane will tackle the challenge, allegedly taking it in a special route than Fuller’s meant imaginative and prescient.
Kane has had a storied profession to say the least, starting his profession as an actor, and most notably offering the singing voice for Aladdin in all of Disney’s animated instalments.
Nonetheless, as showrunner and producer, Kane has simply concluded work on HBO’s anticipated It prequel collection, Welcome to Derry. Kane has additionally overseen manufacturing duties on exhibits corresponding to Black Sails, Fringe, Crash, and Tokyo Vice.
Kane may even act as Crystal Lake’s major author, in addition to overseeing the challenge, so… color us intrigued.
Of his hiring, Kane stated the next in an announcement:
“From the second I watched Jason Voorhees squeeze a man’s eyeball out of its socket (in superb 3D!) on the tender age of 8 years previous, I knew my artistic path was sometime destined to converge with The Man Behind The Masks.” Nothing outlined my childhood greater than rising up within the golden age of the slasher flick, and nothing’s outlined the style greater than Friday The thirteenth. I couldn’t be extra excited for the chance to contribute a chapter to this iconic franchise, significantly with such fearless companions as Peacock and A24.”
Nothing is at present recognized about what Crystal Lake will entail plot-wise simply but, however we’ll let as quickly as we hear one thing.
