The response to Bryan Fuller leaving Friday the 13th series Crystal Lake has been sturdy, with fairly a couple of praising his pilot script.

Camp Crystal Lake hasn’t been this chaotic in a lengthy time, nonetheless, ironically, the waters are quiet and there is no killer stalking the grounds. When news arrived that Crystal Lake – an “expanded prequel” established to air on Peacock – was searching for to be on the chopping block, enthusiasts of the Friday the 13th series observed a skipped opportunity from A24 and Peacock to revive the extended-dormant franchise. And although Crystal Lake may perhaps nonetheless be relocating ahead in some capacity, it has misplaced a essential member of the group: producer Bryan Fuller. That is a large blow for confident, and 1 that some well-liked names in horror are not pleased about.

Responding to Bryan Fuller’s announcement in excess of just precisely exactly where he stood with Crystal Lake, Scream and I Know What You Did Last Summer season screenwriter wrote, “Bummin’ difficult, so sorry I will not be a aspect of what would  have been an epic Bryan Fuller show. Your pilot was so wonderfully realized. A stunning portait of a mother unraveling in her grief. Not to point out bloody horrific! I was so wanting forward to our hour extended chase episode!”

Williamson is not the only a single distinct who study Fuller’s Crystal Lake. Another who had access is Cube and Haunter director Vincenzo Natali, who wrote, “I have study the first two episodes. @BryanFuller ’s Crystal Lake was nicely on its way to starting to be an additional Hannibal-stage reinvention that was at the same time stunning, unhappy, poetic, amusing and horrifying. I mourn its passing.”

Most of us figured that Crystal Lake had these sorts of hope much less than Bryan Fuller, but now that we have viewed reactions from his pilot’s scro[t, it’s even more disappointing that he won’t be involved with the project, especially if the series would have incorporated a psychological approach, as indicated in the reactions. At the same time, if we were to take an optimistic view, we don’t really know what we’d be missing since episodes weren’t even supposed to begin filming until the summer. As of now, it looks like A24 and Peacock will be stepping back to readjust their approach, which could lead to some interesting opportunities to explore the world of Friday the 13th.

What are your hopes for Crystal Lake now that Bryan Fuller is out? Does it still have potential? What do you want to see in the series?
