Some theories as to why…
Platinum Dunes’ Brad Fuller has said time and time again Friday the 13th Part 2 is not a greenlit project.
And while the August 13, 2010 release was discussed, there was nothing ever official about it. So, when Box Office Mojo reports that the sequel to Friday the 13th now has a release date of “TBD” (which they have), it shouldn’t really come as any surprise.
Although, Voorhees fans – including myself – were hopeful they’d hit that date.
Platinum Dunes isn’t a company that rushes their projects along. Look at the first Friday the 13th. It was shot in the first half of ’08 and was released in February of this year. If the sequel is greenlit, they might follow the same production model allotting time for test screenings, etc.
Also something to consider? If it is going to be shot in 3D, they’ll need more time for that as well.
