Boy the news just keeps pouring in about the next Friday the 13th movie. First details about the opening scene of the movie was released. You can read about that here. Next the official release date was announced here. Finally Daniel Pearl (DP for the original and remake of the Texas Chainsaw Massacre may be working with Marcus Nispel again on the upcoming Friday the 13th. You can read about that here. I'm pretty excited by all of the news. The opening sounds like it will be classic Friday the 13th. The release date is far enough in the future that they wont be rushing it. Which is great. Plus like I said in the last news story about the movie I really liked the remake of TCM. So having someone else who worked on it doing Friday the 13th pleases me a great deal. Plus Pearl was the DP for the original TCM so he has a pretty impressive track record to me.
