In exchange for letting WB co-produce Christopher Nolan’s Interstellar, Paramount was given full control over both a new Friday the 13th movie, as well as a potential South Park movie sequel for the next five years.
Nick Antosca is definitely right when he says that it shouldn’t be hard to make a Friday the 13th movie, but there is, perhaps, some added pressure given that the next film will be the franchise’s 13th entry.
That was more than four years ago, and with neither feature showing any sign of moving forward, Paramount appears to have missed its opportunity.
With Paramount having failed to begin production, however, it sounds like it will now be Warner Bros. Pictures that next delivers Jason Voorhees to audiences.
