The original series spawned 10 movies, a showdown with Freddy in the Nightmare on Elm Street crossover Freddy vs. Jason, and even a previous attempt at a reboot in 2009.
The long gestating reboot of Friday the 13th, the home franchise of Jason, has been the subject of plenty of rumors and innuendo for the last several years.
Fuller’s statement here seems to suggests that the new movie will be paying its respects to the original series while utilizing Jason as the main antagonist.
Pamela, of course, is the aforementioned mother whose complex revenge scheme kicked off the original series.
