A24 and Pavone are resurrecting the Friday 13th Franchise with a new series and may have found the perfect actress to bring Pamela Voorhees back to life.
According to Jeff Sneider by Typheer, Linda Cardellini (No good action, died for me) is in negotiations to assume the role of Jason’s notorious mother in Crystal LakeAn imminent prequel series that will expand on the long -lasting horror franchise.
The show, which was given a direct series order in 2022, had an interesting road to production. Originally led by Bryan Fuller (Hannibal), the project since then has undergone a change in creative leadership, with Brad Caleb Kane (Welcome to Derry) Enter as a showrunner.
Kane is a long -standing fan of the franchise and has clarified that he is fully committed to honoring his inheritance. He said:
“From the moment I saw Jason Voorhees squeeze the eye bulb of a boy from his grip (in the glorious 3D!) At the tender age of 8 years, I knew that my creative path was destined to converge with the man behind the mask “.”
He continued: “Nothing has defined my childhood more than growing in the gold era of the film Slasher, and nothing more than the genre of Friday 13th. I could not be more enthusiastic about the opportunity to contribute with a chapter to this iconic franchise, in particular with fearless partners such as Peacock and A24. “
The series is described as a “expanded prequel” to the original Friday 13th Film, exploring both the story of Jason and Pamela Voorhees.
If Cardellini officially signs, he will take on the role made iconic by Betsy Palmer In the 1980 classic, a character whose tragic past and vindictive Rampage has set in motion the entire franchise.
