The superstar is currently in talks to produce Vertigo Entertainments’ Friday the 13th reboot under his Springhill Entertainment banner. Following Halloween’s $70 million-plus opening weekend, there’s no better time for the reboot to happen. Between James and Vertigo who has delivered many horror hits (Stephen King’s It, The Ring, The Grudge, The strangers), it may be interesting to see a new version of the classic.

Just as production was set to begin on a new Friday the 13th reboot from director Breck Eisner (The Crazies), the brakes were hit. Not much has been said about the situation, until now.

David Bruckner is no longer attached and a new director has not been announced. There was a rumor the the reboot would be found footage. However Brad Fuller (Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles), a producer for the 2016 film, has stated that it will in fact, NOT be found footage. I’m very happy to hear this, found footage may be considered a good and cheap, alternative way to film, but in my opinion it’s over used and often obnoxious. Fuller made this statement back in March: “I could just say that for a long time we were stalled…” Fuller continues (during an interview with Shock Till You Drop) “…the film was going to be a found footage movie and that was a road that we went down and tried to
