To me it feels like more of a Bates Motel approach

I don't think I'm allowed to say just yet, but I would say it's less a prequel series than a ... pre-remake-uel series.

For now, no. Not on the record, I can't.

this stands out to me

pre-remake-uel??? so as in before the F13 remake???

it sounds like some point its gonna take place during the movie timeline but before jason goes to hell and jason x

So wait if they're saying they can use everything does that mean what I read about them not being able to use adult Jason was a lie?

Oh yeah you’re right lol

I was reading about the timeline the other day cause I remember it being pretty f***ed up lol. Tommy goes from being played by 13 year old Corey Feldman, to being played by 25 year old John Shepherd, to 31 year old Thom Matthews, with no indication that the movies are set decades apart

Bryan Fuller: (making horse noises; neighing and such)

Everything. We can use everything. We can go to Hell, we can go to space. That's not to say that we will do those things ... although if we do go 10 seasons, I will be lobbying hard to go to space.

A24 and Marc Toberoff, who is Victor Miller's lawyer, have beautifully and excruciatingly assembled all of the Friday the 13th rights. As a streaming series, we have the rights to do everything underneath the Friday the 13th umbrella. The movie rights are a completely different thing. They are tied up at New Line and are super, super messy and probably won't be untangled anytime soon, but as far as us chickens in the television industry, uh, roost, we have access to anything and everything that Friday the 13th has done up until this point.

I don't think I'm allowed to say just yet, but I would say it's less a prequel series than a ... pre-remake-uel series.

For now, no. Not on the record, I can't.

I wouldn't count Jason out.

I think over the course of the series you will see many familiar manifestations of Jason!

The reactions I saw yesterday were very positive, but yeah, there's always gonna be a collection of naysayers. That's nothing new to me! I encountered this when Hannibal was announced. Some of those tweets looked like copy-and-paste jobs from 10 years ago. So, part of me is sorta leaning back with my arms across my chest saying, "Wait and see," and the other part is more like, "Well, folks like that may not have to make a living with their imaginations and what they can imagine must be very disappointing to them."

I'll tell you something very personal, and I may have shared this with you previously. I know part of this story has been out in the public discourse - as public a figure as I am, which is not very, but some people will have heard this: I read a detailed plot synopsis for Friday the 13th when I was maybe nine or 10, in Famous Monsters Magazine. This was a few years before I saw the movie! It became a story I'd tell my friends around campfires, which is also where I got my first taste of storytelling and the thrall an audience can fall under when it's hearing a story as captivating as that of Friday the 13th.

So there was that, combined with the fact that - at the same time - I was working with special needs kids. I was hyper-aware of the challenges of parenting special needs children. One of the kids I sat with during most of that volunteer work, his mother simply couldn't handle him. He was amazing and unique and had a different sort of intelligence, but he was also non-verbal. His mother couldn't get far enough away from him. And so, when I read about Friday the 13th and saw the lengths Pamela Voorhees would go to for her special needs child, I found myself in this Venn diagram of influences, and I fell in love with the series. I fell in love with the first movie, I fell in love with the second movie, I fell in love with all of them - well, maybe not Jason Goes to Hell, but I'm not mad at it. At any rate, I feel that I'm in a unique space to tell this story and to make sure it is loved and cared for appropriately.

Yes. One of the things that is super exciting and one of the many reasons that we went with Peacock is that they blew every other competitor out of the water. There was a bidding war on this, and they came in strong and gave us a full-season commitment with a huge penalty if we don't do a second season. So it's kind of a two-season commitment (laughs), but really just the first-season commitment. We're going to have roughly five times the per-episode budget that we had on Hannibal.

We also have the creative support of Susan Rovner, who is hands down the best television executive that I've ever worked with; she was the executive on Pushing Daisies and shepherded it into its final form. I've been dying to work with her again for 15 years, and we finally worked it out! Her excitement about this, combined with understanding the different emotional pressure points that I have as an audience member who worked with special needs kids (and who also had a serial killer as a camp supervisor*), well, I think it will all work in concert to spin this version of Friday the 13th on its axis a bit. It will absolutely be recognizable for the hardcore Friday the 13th fans, but will also have an appeal to people who are simply interested in top-shelf TV storytelling.

It will be pretty murderous! I think we'll be dropping bodies every episode, and I think there's something about the build of that, as we are hopefully in for the long haul. I wasn't kidding: if we get 10 seasons, I'm going to make a concerted effort to find a way to rationally and dramatically and, in some fashion, go to space. I can't imagine it going 10 seasons, but I will put that out there that, uh ... well, I haven't gotten past laying out the first three seasons, honestly, so I suppose it's very easy for me to say, yeah, if we get to 10 seasons, we're going to space. Wait and see!

I’m not looking forward to a “prestige” take on this material. It’s the most fun blunt horror franchise of all time. It’s blood and b****. That’s the appeal. We don’t need a wannabe art house director making a whole series about Jason’s mother’s trauma.

"jason's mother's trauma" is the focus of the whole first film. part of what makes the third act work so well is that pamela is a sympathetic antihero. moving on from trauma is a common theme in the franchise -- whether its jason witnessing his mother's death, tommy dealing with his emotional baggage from killing jason, or tina's trauma from killing her father manifested in a ressurected jason. the movies are slightly smarter than youre making them out to be, even if they are also frequently dumb and like to indulge in t*** and blood.
