Recently, we shared news that Sean Cunningham’s Cameo profile mentioned a new Friday the 13th in the works. Now, it looks like New Line Cinema is dropping hints for a possible entry in the franchise. New Line’s Instagram account dropped a very cryptic message that revealed a message that read “Jason Voorhees wants to send you a message.” The Instagram post was captioned with “Uh oh. What do you think Jason Voorhees wants?!.”
Why is New Line posting about Jason Voorhees? There aren’t many reasons outside of a big tease that the big slasher is making a comeback. There have been quite a bit of rumblings lately that have pointed toward a possible Friday the 13th sequel in the works. So, it is entirely possible that we are coming up on a very big announcement.
Of course Friday the 13th’s fate has long been tied up in a legal battle between Victor Miller and Cunningham. Could it be that the situation has finally reached a long-awaited agreement?
Friday the 13th Part II’s synopsis went like this:
The second entry in the long-running horror series focuses on a group of teenage would-be counselors converging on Camp Crystal Lake for training under the tutelage of head counselor Paul (John Furey). Inevitably, Paul relates the story of Jason Voorhees (Warrington Gillette), a boy who ostensibly drowned at the camp and whose mother murdered a group of counselors in revenge. No one takes the tale seriously until a very much alive Jason begins gruesomely eliminating people.
We will be sure to keep you up to date on this as we get more details. What do you think the cryptic Instagram post could mean? Think another Friday the 13th is on the way?
