Shelly be praised! A quick update is coming in for the new Friday the 13th flick as our friends over at FridayThe13thFranchise are reporting that an FX company has been hired to fashion Big J’s iconic hockey mask, the look of which may be based on Friday the 13th Part III. Queue the dance music, baby!
According to the site: “Legacy Effects has been hired to create the hockey masks and props for the film! They may also be involved in creating special effects for the new Friday The 13th as well.” Platinum Dunes last worked with the FX company most recently on their Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles films. The site adds: “Legacy has been tasked with creating a hockey mask that more closely resembles the original design from Friday The 13th Part 3.”
The film will be shooting from March 19 to May 4, 2017, under the title Friday the 13th Part 13, but we’re thinking that’s just a temporary moniker. The Crazies director Breck Eisner is at the helm and working from a script by Prisoners‘ Aaron Guzikowski.
