It's been 16 years since the Friday the 13th reboot, and Jason Voorhees is finally coming back to the big screen – and our video game consoles.
"I can tell you that a new sequel movie and new sequel game are at the top of our list," Horror Inc. VP Robbie Barsamaian said during a panel at San Diego Comic-Con (via Bloody Disgusting). "It’s where most of our energy’s going right now. And I can tell you finally we’re in a position to deliver on that,” said Barsamian. “While we’re not officially announcing with our partners today, both are coming. They’re both in the works and they’re both coming."
The first Friday the 13th installment, directed by Sean S. Cunningham, hit theaters back in 1980 and was a smash hit – effectively launching a film franchise that consists of 12 movies, several video games, and one TV show (though a new one is on the way). A reboot, starring Jared Padalecki and Danielle Panabaker, hit theaters in 2009, and was intended to relaunch the franchise for a more modern audience. While the film became the second-highest-grossing film in the franchise, it was universally panned by critics and fans alike.
