Producer Brad Fuller has given his fans an update on his blog about where the sequel now stands.

"We have busted our ass to get that movie going! The script is great- dare I say, better than the first. Shannon and Swift have outdone themselves. We are working with New Line to get that movie going. I had hoped to be able to tell you that we started prepping the movie, but that isn't the case. We are hoping that New Line decides get us started early next year."

August 13, 2010 is when Friday the 13th Part 2 will blast into theaters. As Bloody Disgusting notes, this new movie will actually be the thirteenth Friday the 13th film.

Producers Andrew Form and Brad Fuller have been working with screenwriters Damian Shannon and Mark Swift on a script for the sequel. So far one of the items on the list of things they're considering is taking Jason and putting him in a colder environment. "We also want to bring things [the fans] haven't seen before and one of the things that they haven't seen before is Jason in the snow," Fuller told CHUD. "They haven't seen that before."

Form also revealed that the plan is to have the film out in theaters for the summer of 2010 and that they are still considering filming it in 3-D. However, if they want to add that extra dimension on to the movie the production needs to ramp up and be filming by this winter.

Two weeks after the release of Warner Bros. reboot of the Friday the 13th film franchise word breaks that talk of a sequel has progressed to something more concrete. Hollywood Reporter's Risky Biz blog states that Warner Bros. and Platinum Dunes have asked Ft13th screenwriters Damian Shannon and Mark Swift to start developing a screenplay for a sequel. However, nothing about what the proposed storyline for a second Friday has leaked or if Shannon and Swift will use any elements from the first Ft13th sequels in their continuation. [Full story]
