There’s been a lot of buzz around the industry recently about one of the big slasher franchises looking to take the found footage approach. Though everyone was trying to keep it quiet, that nasty old cat is finally out of the bag.

According to Shock Till You Drop, after a bit of digging, it has been revealed that the folks behind the next Friday the 13th film have been heavily considering the cinéma vérité approach for the next entry in the long running series.

And who are the people behind it? Brad Fuller at Platinum Dunes assured Shock today that there is still no movement on any sort of sequel to the Dunes’ 2009 production. He also would not confirm or deny the company is fielding ideas from other writers.

The reality is that unless all the powers that be (including Paramount, Platinum Dunes, New Line and Sean Cunningham) come to an agreement of sorts, we won’t be taking a trip back to Crystal Lake any time soon.

What do you think about the possible change in narrative and shooting style? Sound off below!
