A planned reboot of Friday the 13th was cancelled just four weeks before filming was due to begin, according to producers Brad Fuller and Andrew Form. They discussed the abandoned project during a producers’ panel at San Diego Comic-Con 2026, highlighting how close a major film can come to production before collapsing.

The article does not state the reason for the cancellation or provide further details about the planned cast, director or story. The discussion formed part of a wider panel with Fuller, Form and Simon Kinberg, covering their careers, past films including A Quiet Place and X-Men, and other unrealised projects.
