The Remake of Friday the 13th faced another interruption upon losing David Bruckner as its director. After the 2009 release, almost six years, 'Friday the 13th' hasn't yet found its resurrection.

After having been in numerous rewrites and postponed film progress, Friday the 13th director David Bruckner officially dropped out on leading the movie remake according to The Warp.  The producers of Friday the 13th also took into regard Bruckner's position in the movie, that it won't be fair if he waits while the script is still being written. Nevertheless, they reported to have plans on pursuing him again once everything's in place, provided that it still interests him and is still available for the remake.

Although the movie might lose David Bruckner's well-known propensity on producing a truly eerie atmosphere, Variety on the other hand conveyed about Aaron Guzikowski's involvement in the movie remake. He was said to be nearing to close a deal with the writing of the new draft of the movie. Guzikowski, who made the remarkable script of 'Prisoners' together with Hugh Jackman and Jake Gyllenhaal, is believed to be clever enough to nail all the right words for the film to achieve its spookiness.

If the movie remake still sets off to its release date, its audiences will be able to see the iconic serial killer Jason Voorhees again, plus his iconic mask and butcher psychotherapists at Camp Crystal Lake. Though the plot details are still vague, Collider mentioned that it's safe to assume that Jason Voorhees will once again rise to kill attractive young women at Crystal Lake. For just like the movie, he can't be dead for too long.

The initial release of the movie was set to January 13, 2017, which of course falls on a Friday. Although this was already the third delay of the movie reboot, which was originally dated March 13, 2015 then goes November 13, 2015, we still hope for its fast resurrection.
