Summary
A24 ’s curbedFriday the 13thseries would have given us Charlize Theron as the mother of Jason Voorhees . Development on the highly anticipatedprequel series titledCrystal Lakewas reportedly stopped in May 2024 , which is a major loss for fans of classic Jason Voorhees cinema and the revulsion genre at big . Although theoriginalFriday the 13thmoviefrom 1980 essentially act as the prequel to the franchise , I’m sold on just about anything that imply A24 and revulsion , so get the project come to an indefinite halt is sure enough not inspiring to get word .
Bryan Fuller , who recently directed two episodes of 2022’sQueer for Fear : The History of Queer Horror , was attached to create the serial , which certainly would have supply toJason Voorhees’Friday the 13thkill enumeration . concord toThe Wrap , " Charlize Theron was eyed to diddle Pam Voorhees in the A24 show found on the beloved “ Friday the 13th ” horror dealership , set in the immediate consequence of the drowning of a unseasoned Jason Voorhees . “The Wrapalso reports that " unpaid author , inexperient execs and questionable bookkeeping unmake the ‘ Friday the 13th ’ series " , which to me is moredisappointing than the most recentExorcistmovie .
Charlize Theron Was Being Considered For Pamela Voorhees In The Friday The 13th Prequel Show
Theron would have made her long-awaited television debut on the A24 project
Charlize Theron is not bad in near any projection she stars in , but having her take on the classic function of Pamela Voorhees would likely have been one of the most memorable carrying into action of her already illustrious career . At 5 ' 10 " and in her typically great shape , Theron herself could have been a formidable forcible violence in aFriday the 13thprequel serial , allowing viewers to see her challenge herself in a dark character like never before . Theron has barely starred in any horror movie or television series , with the thriller 2002’sTrappedand 2015’sDark Placesbeing the most repulsion - adjacent projects of her life history .
What ’s more , Theron would have made her telecasting introduction as Pamela Voorhees in A24’sCrystal Lakeseries , considering that the Oscar - winning actress has only antecedently appeared in Edgar Albert Guest roles on idiot box . Not only does the precipitation ofCrystal Lakerob fans of a would - be exceptional expanding upon of the classic intellectual dimension , but it also take away Theron ’s long - await break into television , which just feels downright cruel . Whilethe Crystal Lakeprequel series is not confirmed to be formally trash , it seems to be moving forward without Fuller ’s adherence , micturate it uncertain whether Theron is still in talks to link the undertaking .
The Friday the 13th remake pay court to the original Jason Voorhees franchise while carving out a space of its own with a intermixture of comedy and repulsion .

There were a aggregate of eight episodes being planned for the first season , which would ’ve had a productionbudget of $ 85 million , making it one of the most expensive A24 productions to particular date . extra season were also report to be planned before the sudden change in development condition . Fuller , who is arguably well jazz for creatingHannibal(2013 - 2015 ) , was initially embraced as the correct person to bring the prequel serial publication to animation .
accord toThe Wrap , “ In the grand aspiration of Crystal Lake , each season would be a “ deconstructionism ” of the first four Paramount motion-picture show .
