Crystal Lake, the upcoming Friday the thirteenth prequel sequence, wrapped manufacturing in October. We don’t know all that a lot concerning the sequence, however creator Brad Caleb Kane not too long ago dropped a couple of particulars whereas talking with Entertainment Weekly, together with that it’s going to comprise “rivers of blood.” That’s good, as a result of I can solely think about how followers would really feel a couple of cold Friday the thirteenth story.
Kane Teases Crystal Lake as a Paranoid ’70s Thriller
“In many ways, it’s a psychological thriller. It’s a paranoid ’70s thriller,” Kane stated. “It has the entire DNA of a slasher with out fairly being a slasher. There are rivers of blood within the present. There are very, I feel, ingenious kill sequences and deaths and murders, nevertheless it’s all carried out in service of character and theme and place and time.“
The sequence stars Linda Cardellini as Pamela Voorhees. As most of us know, Pamela was the killer within the unique Friday the thirteenth film. She was looking for revenge on the counsellors attempting to reopen Camp Crystal Lake after her son Jason drowned on the camp years prior. “She’s gonna shock and surprise a lot of people,” Kane stated of Cardellini’s efficiency. “I feel she’s gonna get numerous consideration for this position. She’s inconceivably good in it. I can’t actually say any extra.“
Kane continued, “I tried to think about Crystal Lake and a Friday the 13th prequel as, ‘What era did the first movie come out of?’” Kane explains. “It got here out of the paranoid ’70s thriller period. It got here out of the mistrust-of-institutions period. It got here out of the ladies’s lib period, the Nationwide Group for Ladies period, this consciousness-raising awakening period in America. I wished to go and play with all of these themes.“
Who Else Stars in Crystal Lake?
Along with Cardellini, Crystal Lake additionally stars William Catlett (Abigail) as Levon Brooks, Devin Kessler (Godfather of Harlem) as Briana Brooks, Cameron Scoggins (Shades of Blue) as Dorf, and Gwendolyn Sundstrom (newcomer) as Grace. Callum Vinson additionally seems as younger Jason Voorhees.
Crystal Lake doesn’t have an official launch date but, nevertheless it’s anticipated to debut on Peacock someday in 2026. I’m truthfully unsure what to think about the sequence. Friday the thirteenth followers have been starved for something involving the franchise for years, and personally, that Candy Revenge brief movie didn’t do a lot to scratch the itch. I’m conserving my fingers crossed for Crystal Lake.
