Producer Brad Fuller recently explained why the "Friday the 13th" Reboot never materialized.
According to Comicbook.com, the new film was reportedly headed into production last year.
But the project fell through, confusing audiences over why the 2009 reboot never got a sequel.
In an interview with SYFY Wire, Fuller explained that complications resulted in the film being scrapped.
?I think there was concern about the rights looming at that point. Paramount was concerned if they made that movie and the rights were not available?if you are going to make that movie, you want to be able to ride it for more than one or two movies. That didn?t exist in this rights structure. We were going down the road to make the movie, but, at the end of the day, economically and/or creatively, they didn?t want to make it.? Brad Fuller
Producing and distributing movies often results in multiple studios having differing stakes in a project.
New Line Cinema would've been responsible for sequels, capitalizing on Paramount's success.
?Paramount would have made one 'Friday the 13th' movie and then New Line would have benefited if the movie was great. Then, New Line could have followed it up with subsequent movies. It put Paramount in a very tough position to go ahead and actually make the movie, and then us to reap the benefits if it was successful beyond that particular film.? Brad Fuller
Whether a sequel to the reboot or franchise revival will ever be undertaken remains to be seen.
The filmmakers behind the original installment are now undergoing legal negotiations.
The issues in question are who holds the rights to the characters, concept, and title.
