Inside the Canceled ‘Friday the 13th’ Reboot That Got Pulled Weeks Before Filming

There's a lot that goes into making a movie, more so than people even imagine. The unglamorous work that helps individual films get greenlit, shot, and released often comes from producers such as Brad Fuller(co-founder of Platinum Dunes alongside Michael Bay), Andrew Form(producer of Platinum Dunes' A Quiet Place), and Simon Kinberg(longtime X-Men screenwriter and producer), who joined the Producers Panel held at 2026's San Diego Comic-Con. Moderated by Collider's Steven Weintraub, the three panelists discussed all things related to the industry, the projects that defined their careers, and the opportunities that slipped through their fingers.
