This could be quite possibly the best news the entire genre of horror has seen in the last decade: Quentin Tarantino, the Oscar-winning director of such as films as Reservoir Dogs, Pulp Fiction, and most recently Kill Bill, is in talks to direct the next entry in the Friday the 13th franchise! Tarantino was rumored to start meeting with New Line Cinema as early as last week to discuss some ideas he has for what will be the 11th Friday the 13th film (not counting Freddy vs. Jason). The film is tentatively titled "The Ultimate Jason Voorhees Movie," but I'm hoping they'll change the title as further development of this Voorhees-fest progresses.

As usual, expect more news on this movie in future editions of Haunted Newsreel.
