Paramount Pictures‘ forthcoming animated feature based on the comic Freddy the 13th has scored an appropriate release date.
The studio announced Thursday that it will release the untitled animated family-horror-comedy movie from director Dan Trachtenberg on Oct. 13, 2028 — which, naturally, is a Friday. The film adapts Yehudi Mercado’s comic Freddy the 13th, with Mercado tapped to co-direct.
Trachtenberg (Predator: Badlands) and Ben Rosenblatt serve as producers for the film that centers on a family vacation that takes a bad turn when lovable Uncle Freddy accidentally kills the Boogeyman and adopts his powers.
The project was first announced last month during the Annecy International Film Festival, where Paramount touted the movie as delivering “wholesome PG-rated scares and laughs to the whole family.”
More to come.
