Hera, Be Praised! No Friday the 13th 2 Remake!

I am happy to announce there will be NO sequel to the Friday the 13th remake!

Bloody Disgusting reports:

On Twitter @Mayroth_Tucker3 asked Platinum Dunes producer Brad Fuller, "Hows the F13 sequel coming along?" to which Fuller replied, "it is dead- not happening." Bummer news after hearing that New Line Cinema and Warner Bros. were aiming to have the film in theaters for August 13, 2010. We checked in with Fuller who added, "Right now there is no movement on Friday 13th: Part 2." The sequel to the 2009 Friday the 13th remake penned by Damian Shannon and Mark Swift was going to be shot in 3-D and feature the return of Derek Mears as the new Jason Voorhees. Considering the redo made a whopping $40m in its opening weekend, and with Elm Street looking to open huge next Friday, this comes as a major shocker.

Maybe so, but I'm very happy about this. It was an insult to the original and a lazy attempt to get money.

It was a less than stellar remake and should not be done ever again.

No Heathers 2

Remember when I blogged about the possible Heathers sequel? Well, squash that! The director of the cute and gutsy cult hit, Michael Lehmann, says no way.

"Winona brings it up every once in a while and Dan Waters and I will joke about it, but as far as I know there’s no script and no plans to do the sequel. I never thought it made sense to see a sequel to a movie which took place in a specific time and specific place and in which many of the characters got killed off."

So I guess we won't see a sequel. But that's alright, it's been too long to revisit their high school days.
