Well, looks like it is official (and why not, with the success of Jason this was inevitable).
Looks like they have already put out their casting call:
(40s) The fedora-wearing villain of children’s nightmares. He'’s taunting and vindictive. He's the last person you want to see in your dreams...
18, attractive, hot, sexy and confident. She’s smart and curious. She's also the type of girl who has to figure things out when they don't make sense...
(18) Mysterious, smart and cool. Think indie type guy. He runs the school podcast, “Insomnia Radio”. Think Johnny Depp...
(18) Attractive, interesting, and intriguing. Very smart. Not terribly social. There’s one in every class. The pretty-girl image is not her priority. Getting out of town after graduation is...
(18) He's the school jock. Attractive. He'’s the kid that lives in the two-story home on the street that screams “Rich Suburbia.” He’s the guy that everyone seems to love...
(18) – Alpha male. Cool, attractive. He used to date Kris, and he’s still trying to get back together – even though they’ve broken up about 4 times already...
Shooting officially begins in Chicago on April 27th (nice to hear they are spending lots of time on the screenplay
)
Please don't suck, Please don't suck, Please don't suck, Please don't suck, Please don't suck, Please don't suck!!!!
