This preliminary decision is likely based upon positive tracking results the studio is getting for Bay’s FRIDAY THE 13TH “reimagining” of the classic film. Certainly this remake could absolutely bomb and the sequel be scuttled but as of now, that’s not looking like it’ll be the case in either area.
It’s hard to ask the cast of the movie about returning for a sequel without giving away who lives and dies, but our own JimmyO did manage to catch up with Jason Voorhees himself and asked him about whether he’s heard anything about FRIDAY PART 2. Mears said, “I don’t know anything” about the plans for a sequel but quickly added with a smile, “if they do a Part 2, I would love to be a part of it.” I’ve heard that Mears does a pretty impressive job as Jason in the film so let’s hope he’s part of the sequel plans.
