"Friday the 13th" Sequel to Become "Found Footage" Movie?


From worstpreviews, "Friday the 13th" sequel has been in development since the 2009 remake hit theaters. But during the last two years, New Line has pursued and killed the sequel numerous times. Insiders claim that the studio was not pleased with the box office results of the 2009 film, despite the fact that it grossed $91 million on a $19 million budget.

We've heard that the sequel is supposed to take place in the snow, but STYD is now reporting that the studio may not only switch the setting, but also turn it into a "found footage" film like "Apollo 18," "Paranormal Activity" and "The Blair Witch Project."

At this point, the script written by Damian Shannon and Mark Swift has yet to get a green light. And while there are plenty of fans who want a sequel, the studio apparently believes that they can't tell the same story in exactly the same way. So the "found footage" style is being considered. Stay tuned.
