Sadly, it looks like Ralph’s prophetic words might also be applicable to Paramount’s long-gestating reboot of the Friday the 13th franchise, which would be the 13th film in the storied series.
This news comes just a few short weeks prior to F13’s previously-announced March production start date, which would have seen Jason return to the area where celebrated sequel Friday the 13th Part VI: Jason Lives was shot back in 1986.
Seemingly completing the Friday the 13th reboot’s descent back into development hell, THR now reports that Paramount has officially shut down pre-production on the film, effective immediately.
Unfortunately for Ralph, Jason has no patience for his shenanigans, and silences him for good in Part 2.
