In the wake of numerous delays, David Bruckner is no longer attached to direct the next “Friday the 13th” movie for Paramount and Platinum Dunes, TheWrap has learned.
Aaron Guzikowski is nearing a deal to write the script and producers felt it wasn’t fair to ask Bruckner to wait around while they develop another draft. While they’d love to have Bruckner direct the next installment in the horror franchise and plan to go back to him when they have a new script, he is not officially involved with the project at this time.
Michael Bay will produce the next “Friday the 13th” along with his Platinum Dunes partners Andrew Form and Brad Fuller.
