Granted, there’s nothing that guarantees that Blum or, by extension, Blumhouse, will actually end up acquiring any of these film rights.
The most interesting revelations are that Blumhouse passed on a chance to remake the horror classic The Blob, and the company tried to acquire the rights to Stephen King’s killer car story, Christine.
Others he expressed interest in when prompted directly were Alien and Scream, saying ‘Never say never.’
Blum also stressed that he’s really trying for Friday the 13th, though the rights to the franchise are currently tangled in a legal mess, making any acquisition difficult.
