Friday the 13th reboot delayed

Paramount made a fairly big deal about releasing a new reboot of Friday the 13th on March 15, 2015. The film has now received a delay and now has a release date of November 13, 2015. This puts is just past the Halloween season. The film is being directed by David Bruckner.

As a result, Paramount has also moved their 2015 horror-comedy offering, Scouts vs. Zombies, to fill the March 15, 2015 slot.

Friday the 13th reboot has its director

Despite already being rebooted in 2009, Friday the 13th will get a fresh start and Paramount has hired David Bruckner to helm the movie. Bruckner directed the underground horror success V/H/S/ and also directed The Signal back in 2007. This will be the 13th installment of the Friday the 13th franchise since 1980 and has a release date of March 13, 2015.

Michael Bay, who directed the last reboot, will stick around as a producer as Platinum Dunes is also bringing this to us.

Friday the 13th to be rebooted in 2015

I just can't.

Since the property rights switch between Paramount and Warner Bros. went through, we now have news that yet another reboot (not sequel) of Friday the 13th will be released on March 13, 2015. Conveniently so, on a Friday the 13th in a very crowded release year. 
This news is full of fun little 13-related tidbits. Not only will it be released on a Friday the 13th, but it will also be the 13th film in the franchise. It's a bummer than it didn't come out this year because it's 2013. /sarcasm 

And yes, the last reboot was just released in 2009.

However, this unfortunately isn't very surprising. Like mentioned above, Paramount obtained the Friday the 13th rights after a swap with Warner Bros. which was in exchange for Paramount giving up Interstellar, the new Christopher Nolan film. The current micro-budget horror film trend will most likely apply with this new reboot as it has proven successful with R-rated horror films such as Paranormal Activity, The Conjuring, and the previous 2009 version of Friday the 13th. There are also rumors already that this new reboot will utilize the found footage element, but there is no telling for sure. All we have right now is a release date and assurance that this is actually happening.

New photos for Dark Shadows and Abraham Lincoln: Vampire Hunter

I think both of these movies are going to be great. I can't wait until they are released. I need trailers for both of them... now.

In other news... Briana Evigan is the newest person to join the cast of The Devil's Carnival (Bill Moseley was announced the other day), Tim Burton supports the Beetlejuice reboot being developed by Seth Grahame-Smith and David Katzenberg (disappointing), Cabin in the Woods will be screened on opening night of SXSW '12 on March 9th, Dario Argento's Dracula 3D will also have a full teaser at SXSW '12, and The Devil Inside still sucks (apparently) despite being #1 at the box office.
