Why Does the Return of ‘Friday the 13th’ Have to Be… Like This?

However previously Troubled, The Peacock and A24 Series Crystal lake now evolves at all speed –Linda Cardellini will play As an equally murderous mother of Jason Voorhees, Pamela Voorhees –Friday 13 Fans always aspire to see Jason return to the big screen. The rights to the franchise have been in a legal tangle for years, with Sean S. Cunningham, which produced and produced the original of 1980, Recently speculating that a new Friday 13 The film is always a distant notion.

It’s always true, but the first big announcement of “Jason universe(Other than its existence, which was revealed in May 2024) revives our favorite hockey killer.

When announced, it was specified that “the Jason Universe” – created by Horror, Inc., “the original owners of the Friday 13 Film franchise “-is supposed to encompass” a wide range of entertainment platforms, games, immersive experiences, goods, and even more “, with” films “notably absent from this list. So maybe we should be happy that we get a kind of film: Sweet revengea “short vignette” led by Mike P. Nelson (the 2021 Evil turn restartthe next Silent night, deadly night restart).

Sweet revenge is presented as “the centerpiece of the daring campaign of the 45th anniversary of the franchise”, according to a press release. He came into production this month, and fans will eventually be able to look at him on the YouTube channel of Jason Universe as well as … “A dedicated microphone animated by Angry Orchard Hard Cider”, which “sponsors the vignette linked to greater collaboration with Jason Universe by Horror Inc., who will continue to move for fans later”.

Nelson is a solid choice to fight against a new entry into the Friday 13 series; with Evil turnHe turned out to be more than able to breathe a new life for a longtime horror frankness. We simply do not like the commercial aspect, especially when it is packed with quotes like this:

“Fans of Angry Orchard love daring and unexpected entertainment – in particular the horror – so this partnership was logical,” said Matt Withington, principal marketing director at Angry Orchard. “It is an ideal way to celebrate 45 years of an emblematic franchise while creating new experiences for our drinkers in a space that already fascinated them. We are looking forward to continuing to give life to the partnership this year. ”

We get it – someone has to install the dollars to finance Sweet revengeAnd at least it is a company that claims to love horror and its fans. But it always feels a little off-putting, isn’t it? We will wait to see Sweet revenge Before you drown prematurely in Crystal Lake, but you have to imagine a certain level of product placement will be part of it.
