Crystal Lake, the upcoming Friday the thirteenth prequel collection, wrapped manufacturing in October. We don’t know all that a lot in regards to the collection, however creator Brad Caleb Kane not too long ago dropped a number of particulars whereas talking with Leisure Weekly, together with that it’s going to include “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 some ways, it’s a psychological thriller. It’s a paranoid ’70s thriller,” Kane mentioned. “It has all the 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 achieved in service of character and theme and place and time.“
The collection stars Linda Cardellini as Pamela Voorhees. As most of us know, Pamela was the killer within the authentic Friday the thirteenth film. She was in search of revenge on the counsellors making an attempt to reopen Camp Crystal Lake after her son Jason drowned on the camp years prior. “She’s gonna shock and shock lots of people,” Kane mentioned of Cardellini’s efficiency. “I feel she’s gonna get a number of consideration for this function. She’s inconceivably sensible in it. I can’t actually say any extra.“
Kane continued, “I attempted to consider Crystal Lake and a Friday the thirteenth prequel as, ‘What period did the primary film 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 Girls 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 undecided what to consider the collection. Friday the thirteenth followers have been starved for something involving the franchise for years, and personally, that Candy Revenge quick movie didn’t do a lot to scratch the itch. I’m conserving my fingers crossed for Crystal Lake.
