Tarantino Dismisses Links to ‘Friday the 13th’ Sequel

Oh well it was a nice dream for a bit….

‘Maverick film-maker Quentin Tarantino has rubbished reports he intends to direct a new entry in the Friday the 13th franchise. But the Kill Bill creator has confirmed studio New Line approached him with the idea of reviving the long-running slasher series about beyond-the-grave serial killer Jason Voorhees, reports website Empireonline.Com. Tarantino says, “What’s happening with Friday the 13th? Nothing at all. It’s a complete lie. “I like Jason and everything, but I’ve no intention of directing a movie. New Line talked to me about it, but it was a complete fabrication, that article. “I would love to do a horror film. I’m just saying it’s not going to be Friday The 13th.” Instead, Tarantino plans to push ahead with his long-gestating World War II project, Inglorious Bastards. He says, “My next film is probably going to be Inglorious Bastards. I’ve written scenes. I’ve written a lot of it but now I have to sit down and start putting it together in a script that I can start shooting. And that’s a different thing.”‘ – from IMDb pro
