Should BlumHouse gets the Rights to the Friday the 13th License?

As we all know company Blumhouse wants to make a Friday the 13th film.....but due to the lawsuit, it froze the franchise but....what if they do get the rights would you as fans are alright with that?

If you want to state your opinion on this matter then PLEASE join the forum and discuss why or why not that blumhouse does or doesn't deserve the rights!

Resurrection! Topic Moved from Archives!

I forgot I made this post!

I'd trust them more than I would Horror Inc to make another F13 at this point. Let's take how we personally feel about JGTH, X, and FVJ out of the equation for a moment. Would you rather have the company whose creative vision are films like that, or somebody who'll make a film closer in line with the original eight? (I don't count the reboot, since that wasn't only New Line involved) Unless those are the only three films in the franchise you like, I think I know what most of our answers would be.

Once again, try to forget about how you personally felt about the recent Halloween Trilogy, but BlumHouse proved with Halloween 2018 that they can produce a film based on a popular decades old IP and give it a feel that it belongs in that universe while still doing its own thing. In other words, Halloween 2018 feels like its own thing while still feeling like a Halloween movie that belongs in that franchise. Of course this is the same studio that also produced Halloween Ends The New Beginning Staring NOT Michael Myers but still... 2018 proved they can do it. Halloween 2018 felt more like a Halloween Movie than any film New Line has fully produced feels like a Friday the 13th movie.

Hmm what about A24? Would you want them to produce a Friday the 13th Film over a TV series or would you wanna wait for the TV series to be released before having an opinion??

Yeah, I'm not sure about A24. They're very niche, with their offerings tending to be more on the Artsy side... That Wickerman style of folksy horror that can be effective when done right but can also be slow and plodding. The horror films I am aware of produced by them just haven't been for me. Honestly, I'm not sure if they wouldn't view the Slasher Genre as beneath them considering their library.

I'd give it to them on the condition they stay true to the franchise and avoid going Halloween Ends. If they went that way, they forfeit the business.

That's a very reasonable perspective! I only seen like one or two of their films and I heard "In a Violent Nature" is out and made by them and I'll have to check it out myself.
