Movie Updates on TMNT, Monster Squad, Freddy & Jason

Platinum Dunes producer Brad Fuller hit twitter hard this weekend and offered up several updates on films that some of you might be excited about like Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles, Monster Squad, A Nightmare on Elm Street, and Friday the 13th. 

Here what Fuller had to say about...

Tennage Mutant Ninja Turtles:

Tmnt is coming along. We are working On the script and I hope to have many more details for you in 4 to 6 weeks.

Monster Squad:

Since a few people asked, Monster Squad is being written and he hope to have a script in the next few weeks.

Friday the 13th and Nightmare on Elm Street sequels:

Lots of rumors out there. I want to set the record straight on freddy and Jason. First, let’s talk Jason. Shannon and swift wrote a great script. We are ready to go, when new line is ready. But as of yet, they are not ready. As for Freddy, as far as I know, there isnt even talk of writing another script.

Rated R Horror movies, right now, don’t seem to generate interest from the studios. Everyday we want to hear from any studio that they want a horror movie, but it hasn’t happened. So right now we are working on a handful of films, including tmnt, and ouija. There is still hope for rated r horror, because it is profitable, but there is a larger interest in tent pole film.

I could really care less about the Freddy and Jason sequels. I'm most excited about the TMNT reboot, I'm really interested and excited to see how they handle the material this time around, developing it with a darker tone. As for Monster Squad, I grew up on the original film, and I just don't see how the remake will be as awesomely cheesy as the original.
