Freddy the 13th

Dan Trachtenberg is working an animated comedy horror with Paramount Animation based on Yehudi Mercado‘s graphic novel, Freddy the 13th.

Trachtenberg is the director of 10 Cloverfield Lane, Prey, Predator: Killer of Killers, Predator: Badlands, and more.

Trachtenberg will produce the animated project with Ben Rosenblatt.

Uncle Buck becomes the Boogey Man when a horror-obsessed, unlucky schlub accidentally kills the legendary slasher Nighty Night, he inherits the mantle of the monster—right as he’s stuck babysitting his niece and nephew for thirteen nights of terror. Now, as rival killers crawl out of the shadows to seize the throne, Freddy must drive cross-country to break the curse, protect his family… and prove he’s finally good at something, even if it’s being evil.

Paramount Animation has said the project is a PG-rated horror film.

Get a look at Predator: Badlands #1, the Prequel Comic to the New Film

Posted on by

Predator: Badlands, the new entry in the “Predator” film franchise, arrives in theaters on November 7. That same week, Marvel will publish Predator: Badlands #1, a tie-in comic by writer Ethan Sacks, known for his stellar work on Marvel’s Star Wars titles, and, in his Marvel Comics debut, artist Elvin Ching, a promising recent participant of Marvel’s Art Atelier program, and inks by Oren Junior. Serving as the official prelude to the highly anticipated film, the one-shot is being produced in close collaboration with director Dan Trachtenberg, who will also write a foreword for the issue. Fans can check out never-before-seen interior artwork as well as all three of the issue’s covers.

Predator: Badlands, which stars Elle Fanning and Dimitrius Schuster-Koloamatangi, is set in the future on a remote planet, where Dek, a young Predator outcast from his clan, finds an unlikely ally in Thia and embarks on a treacherous journey in search of the ultimate adversary. Taking place shortly before these events, the Predator: Badlands comic explores the film’s bold new approach to “Predator” franchise storytelling, introducing readers to Dek and other key characters.

THE HUNT BEGINS.

In the one-shot, a young Yautja warrior named Dek is given a seemingly simple task by his father: retrieve a piece of technology from a derelict spaceship that crashed years ago. Inside, however, an ancient and deadly threat lies in wait.

Predator: Badlands #1 features a main cover by Juan Ferreyra, a variant by Cafu, and movie variant cover and arrives in comic shops on November 11.
