Damien Leone muistetaan ohjaamistaan kauhuelokuvista Terrifier ja Terrifier 2. Nyt ohjaaja haluaisi kokeilla taitojaan Friday the 13th -elokuvasarjan parissa polkaisten koko hoidon uudelleen alusta. Sarja on ollut hiljainen vuodesta 2009. Aikeista kerrottiin haastattelussa.
"I've been on record for quite some time now saying if I could ever remake one slasher film, it would be 'Friday the 13th.' Jason was always my favorite slasher since I was a little kid, and I think that there's a way to ... I mean, my approach would be to keep it in the '80s, honestly."
"I would have it take place in the early '80s. I would try and make him as scary as possible because I feel like that's something they kind of lost as the movies went along. You just start getting too comfortable with these villains and you need to be scared of them again."
Leone on myös ollut puheissa siitä, että Friday the 13th ehkä saataisiin alkamaan taas alusta. Kuulemma kaikki muutkin haluaisivat samaa.
"Believe it or not, I've gotten to talk to some people who are execs who are in charge of that franchise. I think I'm still a little too obscure on that Hollywood list of people that they would approach to direct that film."
"I've been told, 'Listen, everybody and their mother wants to make that movie. It's a long list.' So unfortunately, I don't think I'd get to make it now, but maybe when they reboot it in the next 20 years, I'll be able to take a crack at it."
