Jason is coming to terrorize your living room.

According to Deadline.com, Jason Voorhees the monster in “Friday the 13th” is being scripted to an hour long television series.

Emmett/Furla/Oasis Films and Crystal Lake Entertainmenthave set a deal to produce a new hourlong dramatic series based upon the characters and settings of Friday The 13th. Sean S. Cunningham, who helmed the 1980 original, will be executive producer along with EFO Films principals Randall Emmett & George Furla, Mark Canton of Atmosphere Entertainment MM, Steve B. Harris of Diversion3 Entertainment, and Ted Fox of Fox Entertainment. Also producing is Horror Inc. president Robert Barsamian, who produced the features.

The new television series will include all of the principal characters from the original Friday The 13th. The original director Sean S. Cunningham will executive produce the project with the help of Bill Basso from Terminator and Jordu Schell from Avatar working as writers in the production.

The original movie was set in a summer camp closed due to the drowning of an unattended kid. Counselors tried reopning the place but they later discovered that was a big mistake. It is reported that the new series will focus on the characters of Crystal Lake who are forced to confront Jason as new secrets are revealed about the family. Jason Voorhees is synonymous with the genre and we plan to build on this legacy with a provocative and compelling take that expands upon the storylines that have already thrilled millions worldwide,” explained Cunningham.

“Expect the show to take viewers in some exciting new directions that we’re confident will not only excite existing fans of Friday The 13th but also attract new audiences to the situations and characters that inhabit the small town of Crystal Lake,” said Barsamian.

One of the contestants on the upcoming season of ABC’s “The Bachelorette” has died as a result of injuries sustained in a paragliding accident over the weekend.

Eric Hill died in an accident as a result of his injuries from a paragliding accident that was not part of the show.

Hill had completed filming The Bachelorette, and according to Deadline, it most likely occurred after being eliminated so, his death will not impact the show.

Producers for The Bachelorette released a statement regarding the accident:

Eric Hill, one of the contestants on the upcoming season of ABC‘s The Bachelorette, has died as a result of injuries sustained in a paragliding accident over the weekend that was not part of the show. By then, Hill had completed filming The Bachelorette, presumably after being eliminated, so his death won’t impact the outcome of the show but it is expected to be addressed on the new season, which premieres May 19.

“We are deeply saddened to hear about the tragic passing of our friend, Eric Hill. Eric inspired us every day with his passion, his courage and his adventurous spirit, and for that we are very thankful.

The leading actor of the biopic, Midnight Rider, drops out of the project following the on-set death of Sarah Jones.

William Hurt is dropping out of Midnight Rider, according to The Hollywood Reporter.

The Actor was portraying Gregg Allman in the movie, which had stopped production after the on-set death of the camera assistant Sarah Jones due to a train accident.

Director Randall Miller has been trying to resurrect the production in Los Angeles after leaving Georgia, with a goal of hiring new crew members to work on the production.

ben

However, a social media campaign, union boycotts, and protests are preventing the production from continuing.

Insiders say that if Midnight Rider does resume production, it could face union pressure, litigation and protests from sectors of the film community that have highlighted Jones’ death as a preventable fatality. The project will likely have to recast if other actors don’t return as the film looks to restart production. [THR]

Actor William Hurt commented in an email that he thought the filming on the train tracks was dangerous. “I said, ‘Sixty seconds is not enough time to get us off this bridge.’ There was a communal pause. No one backed me up,” the actor stated in a copy of an email published by the Los Angeles Times on March 21.

According to Deadline, the producer for ‘Midnight Rider’ made some controversial comments regarding the way she likes to film movies.

“went on to talk about CBGB and was bitching about how our former film commissioner Jay Self kept showing up to set, telling her she couldn’t do this, she couldn’t do that and that she was so glad he was no longer film commissioner. [Savin] said, ‘We make movies by our own rules.’ ” Deadline has talked to other attendees who also corroborate the comments made by Savin at the event.
