Source: Jason Voorhees can run. That was one of the big revelations from the final day of the San Diego Comic-Con, as Supernatural star Jared Padalecki appeared alongside cast members and producers from the new Friday the 13th reboot. A teaser trailer was unveiled during the panel, which highlighted the producers’ attempts to ground the horror flick in reality. Gone is the slow, zombie-like killer from the older films, and in his place is a hulking maniac who isn’t afraid to sprint after a frightened teenager. It’s a big change for the series, but the Comic-Con audience responded enthusiastically to the footage.
After the trailer was shown, an audience member asked the question that many Supernatural fans are probably wondering: Will Jared Padalecki’s character survive his face-off with Jason?
“I actually do not know. Truth be told, I do not know,” Padalecki responded. Though the producers didn’t comment on it, it’s possible that multiple endings were shot for the film, leaving the fate of Padalecki’s character up in the air. The actor said that he’d love to do a follow-up, and joked, “I was trying to push for the prequel, Thursday the 12th.”
