Jessica Simpson Celebrates 8 Years of Sobriety, Deserves All Your Praise
خلاصہ: Jessica Simpson Celebrates 8 Years of Sobriety, Deserves All Your PraiseReading Time: 3 minutes
Jessica Simpson is giving herself a well-deserved pat on the back.
The artist recently opened up about her struggles with alcohol addiction while looking back on her 2017 decision to give up drinking.
To mark the eighth anniversary of her sobriety, the 45-year old shared a post on Instagram, getting raw and real about the impact that her lifestyle change has had on her life and career.
“8 years ago today I made the choice to confront, to confess and to let go of the self sabotaging parts of my life that I was choosing,” Simpson began the November 1 post.
“Making that decision allowed me to fully live in the pursuit of Gods purpose for my life. Alcohol silenced my intuition, blocked my dreams and chased my circulating fears of complacency.”
Back in 2021, Simpson shared a photo that contributed to her decision to quit alcohol.
“The drinking wasn’t the issue. I was. I didn’t love myself. I didn’t respect my own power. Today I do. I have made nice with the fears and I have accepted the parts of my life that are just sad,” Simpson told followers in November 2021, adding back then:
“I own my personal power with soulful courage. I am wildly honest and comfortably open. I am free.”
Simpson has undergone a rather drastic physical transformation during this time, as well.
She continued over this past weekend:
“Today I am clear. Today I am driven by faith. Both fear and faith are something that we feel and may not see, I’m so happy I chose faith over fear. It was not in the fight that I found my strength, it was in the surrender.”
The mother of three (Maxwell, 13, Ace, 12, and Birdie, 6) — who split from Eric Johnson several months ago — has long been candid about her substance abuse struggles.
During a January 2020 interview with Today, she said that her turning point came on Halloween in 2017… when she failed to show up as a parent for her kids after drinking heavily.
“I honestly couldn’t even tell you who got them ready,” she said at the time.
“I was just dazed and confused, and I just wanted to go to sleep. I didn’t take them trick-or-treating. I didn’t show up for my family. I took the picture and I made the world think that I showed up.”
One day later?
Simpson started therapy and stopped imbibing.
“I just realized that I had to surrender,” she said.
“I just want to continue on the path that I’m on, and at this point in my life, now I’m strong enough to deal with anything that comes my way. Because I don’t have something to retreat to that will numb me from actually going through it.”
Simpson returned to music earlier this year with her EP Nashville Canyon, Part 1, a collection of five soul and rockabilly-infused tunes.
It was followed by a second part, which went for sale in September.

Holly Humberstone Shares New Single ‘Die Happy’
خلاصہ: Holly Humberstone Shares New Single ‘Die Happy’Holly Humberstone has returned with a new single entitled “Die Happy.” The track arrived alongside a music video directed by Silken Weinberg.
Regarding the track, Humberstone said: “I wrote ‘Die Happy’ thinking about a fairytale at night, somewhere between driving fast with the windows down and wandering through a crumbling old house. I took inspiration from The Bloody Chamber and Dracula and I wanted to show the feeling of throwing yourself into love fully and recklessly. There is danger in love.”

As fans eagerly await Humberstone’s next era following the release of her sensational 2023 debut LP, Paint My Bedroom Black, those in Australia can catch her on the road in the coming weeks. Beginning on November 13, she’ll be performing a slew of shows on the continent, both as a headliner and in support of Sam Fender. The gigs begin in Melbourne before Humberstone travels to Newstead, Brisbane, and more.
“Die Happy” marks Humberstone’s first new single since she released an updated version of “Dive” with Asha Banks back in July. The track was originally featured on Humberstone’s last release, work in progress, which arrived in March of 2024.
The updated version of “Dive” is not the first track she’s re-released with the help of friends. In May of last year, she shared a three-track EP entitled Cocoon, which featured a new version of the title track with Medium Build; an update on “Into Your Room” with indie pop band MUNA; and a remixed offering of “Antichrist” alongside Tiny Habits.
All of these moments serve as a bridge between Humberstone’s debut, Paint My Bedroom Black, and whatever sophomore effort she’s cooking up. “Die Happy” marks the beginning of a new era, one she has been working on for quite some time. When she announced the release date for “Die Happy” last week, she wrote on Instagram: “thank you for waiting for me to get it right.”

New STAR TREK Film Coming From The DUNGEONS & DRAGONS Filmmakers
خلاصہ: New STAR TREK Film Coming From The DUNGEONS & DRAGONS Filmmakers
The Star Trek universe is setting a new course, and this time, it’s in the hands of the creative duo behind Dungeons & Dragons: Honor Among Thieves. Jonathan Goldstein and John Francis Daley have officially been hired by Paramount Pictures to write, produce, and direct a completely new Star Trek film, one that’s not tied to any previous movies, series, or development projects.According to Deadline, the upcoming project will be “a completely new take in the Star Trek universe and is not connected to any previous or current television series, movie, or prior movie development projects.” That means we’re in for a fresh story, with the potential for an entirely new crew and characters, a true reboot of the franchise for a new generation.For longtime fans, this news might feel like the first glimmer of hope in a turbulent decade for Star Trek on the big screen. After 2016’s Star Trek Beyond, Paramount’s plans for a follow-up with Chris Pine, Zoe Saldaña, and Zachary Quinto went through countless iterations. Projects came and went, and one of them included an R-rated pitch from Quentin Tarantino. Another come from Noah Hawley, and there were even talks of a Starfleet prequel, but none ever got off the ground.Meanwhile, the franchise thrived on streaming, with shows like Picard and Strange New Worlds reigniting excitement among fans. Now, with Goldstein and Daley onboard, it finally feels like that warp drive is powering back up.These two filmmakers have proven they can handle major franchises with humor, intelligence, and heart. Their work on Game Night and Dungeons & Dragons: Honor Among Thieves showed their knack for blending sharp writing with genre-savvy fun. They also co-wrote Spider-Man: Homecoming, helping kick off the Tom Holland era of the MCU. Their upcoming film Mayday, due next year, reportedly continues their streak of mixing action, comedy, and creativity in unexpected ways.It’s honestly perfect that Daley is now stepping into the Star Trek universe. I like the idea that the geeky kid from that cult classic series Freaks & Geeks grew up to direct Dungeons & Dragons and now Star Trek. If Dungeons & Dragons: Honor Among Thieves proved anything, it’s that Goldstein and Daley know how to take a beloved franchise and turn it into some really awesome and fun. If they can bring that same charm and balance of adventure, humor, and heart to Star Trek, we might be looking at the next great cinematic voyage for the final frontier.Source InformationPublisher: Geek TyrantOriginal Source: Read more

Yearn, Baby! Yearn: Five Romances Full of Pining
خلاصہ: Yearn, Baby! Yearn: Five Romances Full of PiningLonging. Thirst. Yearning. It doesn’t matter what you call it. One of the most fun elements of a romance novel is when one of the characters has been pining for the other – preferably for a long time and even better if both characters have been full of longing. Yes, the smooching and the sex and the main characters actually getting together is one of the most satisfying parts of reading romance. But you know what they say: hunger makes the best sauce. And the yearning in romance is what makes the characters getting together so incredible to read.
I don’t know if I should blame Gilbert Blythe’s decade-long crush in Anne of Green Gables or Mr. Darcy struggling in vain in Pride and Prejudice, but I might just love the pining in a romance most of all. The most important part of a romance plot is conflict—a reason the characters can’t be together. And when you add pining into the mix, it makes the obstacles on the way to the happily ever after feel like the author is twisting the knife into their characters’ backs. These five romance novels feature a love-lorn R&B star, childhood best friends who never got over their first love, an utterly and completely inappropriate Regency pairing with regrettably good sexual chemistry, and the alpha from a werewolf pack. They all contain very different characters, plots, and subgenres, but what they all have in common is intense, delicious yearning.
The Love Lyric by Kristina Forest
Famous R&B singer Angel hasn’t just had a crush on his stylist’s sister, Iris, for years. He also wrote a song about their brief encounter at a wedding. And now it’s the song of the summer. Swoon. But Iris is a single mother and widow who wants professional success and companionship, not the kind of all-encompassing love she had and lost when her first husband died. A professional opportunity throws the two together when Angel becomes a brand ambassador for the makeup and beauty company where Iris works. Angel views this as his chance to finally woo the woman he’s been pining after. And despite Iris’ focus on doing a good job and getting a promotion, there is something about Angel she just can’t resist.
Count Your Lucky Stars by Alexandria Bellefleur
Margot and Olivia are childhood best friends, first loves, and first heartbreaks, and it’s been 10 years since they’ve seen each other. Margot has never been able to move on from their relationship and has only had casual hookups in the decade since they were together. Olivia has gotten married and divorced, but never stopped thinking about Margot and what could’ve been. A chance encounter, when Olivia becomes the wedding planner for Margot’s best friend, throws the pair back towards each other. Then circumstances bring them even closer when Margot accepts an offer to live temporarily in Olivia’s spare bedroom. After years of longing, will the two give in to fate and accept this second chance at love?
Mate by Ali Hazelwood
Serena has lived her whole life believing she’s second best, an orphan who nobody wants, and that she’s human. But she’s recently learned she’s half werewolf … which shouldn’t be possible. And now that everyone knows, her life is in danger from many different threats. Koen is the alpha wolf of the brutal and respected Northwest pack. The moment he sees Serena, he knows she is his mate. Despite the biologically encoded longing he feels for her, he’s determined not to force her into a relationship she doesn’t want. But he’s equally determined to keep her safe.
Hate to Want You by Alisha Rai
I’m going deep into Alisha Rai’s backlist, because this is one of my all-time favorite romance novels. And I’m pretty sure when you look up yearning in the romance dictionary, all you see is this book. Livvy and Nicholas are first loves from feuding families. When tragedy tore their families apart, they broke up, too. Nicholas stayed in New York to run the family business and Livvy ran away to become a tattoo artist and travel the world. For nine years, Livvy and Nicholas met up on her birthday for a night of mind-blowing, deep, emotional sex. Last year, Livvy didn’t show up, but now she’s back in town for the first time. And the two of them can’t seem to stay apart even in the face of family disapproval, long-held resentments, and the uncovering of past secrets.
Her Night With the Duke by Diana Quincy
When the Lady Delilah is stranded at a small inn, she gives in to a night of passion with a handsome stranger. They agree it has to be for one night only and don’t share any personal details. But then the next day, she discovers the handsome stranger is Elliot Townsend, Duke of Huntington—also known as her stepdaughter’s fiancé. And Elliot discovers the woman he can’t stop thinking about is his future mother-in-law. They agree to keep the night before a secret and never get close to each other again. But neither of them can forget the passion they shared or resist the chemistry that comes out every time they are in the same room. The way they long for each other in this very forbidden romance is so intense.
Ready to fall into a yearning ring of fire? Or maybe to find out if this yearning is an eternal flame? I’ll stop with the song puns, and let you pick which of these romance novels full of pining you want to read first!

How To Complete The Pursuit Of The Partyte Pentaptych In The Outer Worlds 2
خلاصہ: How To Complete The Pursuit Of The Partyte Pentaptych In The Outer Worlds 2Do you plan on completing The Pursuit of the Partite Pentaptych in The Outer Worlds 2? This side quest takes place in Golden Ridge on the planet of Dorado, which is pretty much the second major/open-world area in the campaign. You do need to look for specific items, and the game doesn't even tell you where they can be found.All five mural locations in The Outer Worlds 2 - Golden RidgeYour goal in The Pursuit of the Partite Pentaptych, as the term sort of implies, is to find the five murals scattered all over the region. At best, you're told that these can be acquired from tram stations. The only problem is that the Golden Ridge is a blasted wasteland, and most of the railways are already destroyed. Golden Ridge mural locations mapIn any case, if you want to complete the Pursuit of Partite Pentaptych in The Outer Worlds 2, then you can check the map above. It shows the locations of all five murals in the region. We've numbered them accordingly starting from Alexandra Station Entrance, which is where your ship lands upon arriving in this zone. Mural location #1: Alexandra Station EntranceThe first mural essentially starts the quest itself. Simply exit your ship and go around to the interior of the station that's adjacent to the landing. You should see the mural on the wall. In front of it is a lore entry that tells you about the events that are being depicted. Anyway, just interact with the mural fragment with a darker hue to pick up the item. Mural location #2: Guardian EstatesSave for the fifth and final item, you can pick up the next Golden Ridge murals in The Outer Worlds 2 in any order. For now, though, we recommend doing the following:Go to Matriarch's Mercy to continue the main quest. Don't forget to pick up the bounties at the terminal outside the main building.Head to the southwestern part of the map. It's where you'll be able to tag the Guardian Estates fast travel point. If you picked up the bounties, you should have a mission called "Battle with the Beastly Brigands." It requires you to kill the Dunsany Brothers in the same area.Keep going up the hill until you see a tram station just before the large building. You'll find another mural inside. Don't forget to take out the Dunsany Brothers for the bounty reward, too. Mural location #3: Decommissioned Autonomous ExtractoriumFrom the previous location, head north until you arrive at the Decommissioned Autonomous Extractorium. You can actually recruit a companion named Aza inside the facility. As for the mural, it's inside a small building that's adjacent to the Extractorium. Mural location #4: N-Ray RangeIf you keep going north from the Extractorium, you'll come across the N-Ray Range. Venturing deeper into this facility is actually part of the main quest in this region, which is why we encouraged you to visit Matriarch's Mercy earlier. Here's a quick summary:You can find the N-Ray Scanner gadget in this facility. It allows you to see enemies, objects, and wiring through walls.The aforementioned companion, Aza, actually has a personal quest that you can undertake in this area.Dealing with the head honcho, Victor Clemens, is a key objective. Finishing this task eventually grants you access to the location of the fifth mural. (More on this shortly.)Now, for the item in this location, you need to continue exploring until you reach sub-level 2. Next, ride the elevator back to the top. The mural is in the chamber with the tramway. There's also a High Security Lockbox in the same room. Mural location #5: Alexandra MonasteryOnce you've finished the main objectives in Zyranium Manufactory VII and N-Ray Range, you should be ready for the next step in the main story:Return to Matriarch's Mercy and access the lift. This will take you to an instanced location/mini-dungeon called Alexandra Monastery.Proceed through the facility as normal, taking out enemies along the way. Eventually, you'll stumble upon a large garden area.The mural is inside the station at the right-hand side. Pick it up, and you should have all the Golden Ridge murals in The Outer Worlds 2. The Pursuit of Partite Pentaptych rewardsWhile you're tackling this quest and collecting murals, you've probably noticed a certain perk that pops up. This is the Art Enthusiast perk, which grants bonus XP to your character whenever companions defeat an enemy.At the conclusion of this quest, you'll have Art Enthusiast V--i.e. +10% XP from companion kills. It's a pretty decent way to gain levels quickly, especially if you also picked the Foot-in-Mouth Syndrome flaw. Oh, and all five mural pieces will also appear as decorations in the Incognito.That does it for our guide on how to complete The Outer Worlds 2 Pursuit of the Partitie Pentaptych quest. While you're at it, you might want to check these related topics:Alexandra Monastery puzzle - If you're still in Alexandra Monastery, you can solve a riddle to obtain a nifty reward.Character perks - Art Enthusiast is an additional perk, which means you don't need to spend a point to unlock it. Still, you might be curious about all the others that you can obtain in the game.Science Weekly Volumes - This is another collectible-type quest that you might've missed while exploring Eden/Paradise Island.Black market smugglers? Autocratic regimes? Rampaging Raptidons? Invisible cultists that can only be seen if you wear special goggles? These shenanigans need not cause any alarm because we've got you covered in our The Outer Worlds 2 guides hub.Source InformationPublisher: GameSpotOriginal Source: Read more

2025’s Biggest Gaming News: Banned Games, GTA 6 Delayed, Price Hikes
خلاصہ: 2025's Biggest Gaming News: Banned Games, GTA 6 Delayed, Price HikesSee ya later, 2025 It's the end of another year, and it was another big one for the video game industry with countless major events, controversies, and trends to take in. But what were the biggest news events for 2025? This recap doesn't aim to offer an exhaustive list of the biggest stories of the year, but we're taking the time to look back at the year that was and highlight some of the big stories. Some of the big news and events from 2025 included Rockstar's GTA 6 being delayed yet again (its second delay during the year), along with the cancellation of a Wonder Woman game and closure of its studio, Monolith. The past year also saw the announcement of Valve's newest Steam Machine, the industry's first $80 game in decades from an unexpected source, EA announcing a take-private deal with Saudi Arabia, the retirement of a longtime Nintendo executive, Microsoft putting its games on rival platforms, the return of Game Informer magazine, and a voice-actor strike. Beyond big news and announcements, 2025 saw a continuation of trends from previous years, including ongoing mass layoffs, along with consumer behavior continuing to shift away from buying new games. Read on to see all the biggest gaming news of 2025. In case there are any last-minute major announcements to come in the final weeks of the year, we'll update this post. People are buying fewer games A trend that's been growing in recent years has been people buying fewer new games and instead sticking with the games they enjoy the most, even if they're older. A recent study found the majority of playtime was spent on live-service games that are more than six years old. Other studies have shown similar trendlines, including how the majority of US gamers are now buying a maximum of two games per year and how young Americans are spending a lot less on games these days. Ubisoft's own data from the UK found that people are playing fewer new games , with Ubisoft specifically citing subscription-based games, free games, cloud gaming, and games-as-a-service titles eating into the market for full-game sales. Market dynamics are indeed evolving, with Circana's Mat Piscatella saying only 4% of US game players buy a new game more often than once per month, and a third of players buy zero games at all. It is the "hyper-enthusiast, price-insensitive players" who are keeping the business alive, he said. At the same time, video game sales for some top titles are flourishing. One of 2025's best examples was Battlefield 6, which sold 7 million copies out of the gate, growing to a reported 10 million not long after launch. The game needed just 22 days to become 2025's best-selling game in the US. Not only that, but Battlefield 6 also surpassed Battlefield 1's lifetime sales in the US after less than one month on the market. Looking ahead to 2026, Rockstar's GTA 6 is predicted to be an enormous success, but one expert believes it is "naive" to think one big release will help the video game industry get back on track as it continues its slide through layoffs, game cancellations, and further consolidation. There is no reason to believe 2026 will be a better year for the gaming industry at large, or the people who make games. Unprecedented price hikes US President Donald Trump announced a sweeping set of controversial international tariffs in April, which sent global markets into turmoil and, in time, led gaming companies to pass on the cost to consumers. The tariffs impacted Nintendo, Microsoft, and Sony's gaming plans, as Microsoft and Sony raised Xbox and PlayStation consoles, citing global economic conditions. Nintendo did not raise the price of the Switch 2, but did hike prices for a range of accessories. Nintendo also raised the price of the original Switch. All of the companies impacted by the tariffs did not eat the cost but instead passed the costs on to consumers at the same time as their own revenue and profit levels continued to soar. And speaking of increasing costs, Nintendo opted to charge $80 for Mario Kart World, making it the first new game in a long time from any company to sell for that much. Nintendo's decision to charge that much--which it said was due to the value the game offers--has led some to wonder if other companies may follow suit. Microsoft, for example, said it would charge $80 for games this year, beginning with The Outer Worlds 2. It later reversed course and confirmed it would not charge $80 for any games in 2025. Uncertainty around tariffs and the general global economic environment was also the reason that Valve did not divulge the price of the Steam Machine. Another unanswered question as it relates to pricing is how much GTA 6 will cost when it comes out next year. Some have theorized that Rockstar and Take-Two might go up to $80 or more, while others believe that's not a good idea because the real money for GTA comes from GTA Online, and a lower cost of entry might encourage more people to get the game (and then spend more on microtransactions later on). Xbox Game Pass gets a huge price hike In October, Microsoft announced a 50% price hike for Xbox Game Pass and a restructuring of the subscription service's other tiers. The company also added other elements to Game Pass Ultimate, including subscriptions to Fortnite Crew and Ubisoft+ Classics to help sweeten the deal, or soften the blow, depending on how you look at it. The dramatic price hikes are in effect now if you subscribe directly from your Xbox. However, most major US retailers selling subscription cards have not yet adopted the higher prices. The price hikes reignited debates and discussions about the merits and value of Game Pass. People are also continuing to wonder about the economic realities of Game Pass,...

AVENGERS: DOOMSDAY Rumored to Center on Clash Between Doctor Doom and Captain America
خلاصہ: AVENGERS: DOOMSDAY Rumored to Center on Clash Between Doctor Doom and Captain AmericaThe latest rumors surrounding Avengers: Doomsday is giving fans a much different picture of the movie’s core conflict than expected. The casting for the film that has been revealed so far with Pedro Pascal ’s Reed Richards and Robert Downey Jr. ’s Doctor Doom, fueled expectations that the two would anchor a major storyline together. Since Doom showed up in the mid-credits scene of The Fantastic Four: First Steps , many assumed the rivalry between Reed Richards and Victor Von Doom was finally about to ignite on screen. But new reports suggest that isn’t the direction Marvel is taking. While Downey’s Doom Variant exists apart from Earth 828’s Fantastic Four, fans were hoping the two geniuses would clash in a big way. If the latest rumour is on the money, that meeting may not happen here and some fans are already bracing for disappointment. A leaker known as @variablelace claims that most of Doomsday will actually focus on Doctor Doom taking on Steve Rogers. Shortly after that, scooper @MyTimeToShineH added: " and Evans weren’t even going to be part of The Kang Dynasty , and now they’re not only back but will be the main focus of Doomsday .” Other sources have echoed the same thing which strengthens the idea that this story leans heavily on the dynamic between Doom and Cap rather than Doom and Reed. The reasoning behind Doom’s obsession with Steve supposedly ties back to Avengers: Endgame . Rumor has it Doom arrives on Earth-616 convinced that Rogers’ decision to return to the past and stay with Peggy Carter created the Incursion that wiped out his world. That destructive ripple may have even triggered the chain of events threatening the entire Multiverse. Fans have been wondering for years what Cap’s off screen life looked like after Endgame ended and Doomsday might finally give that answer. Of course this approach comes with trade offs. Doom’s long running rivalry with Reed Richards is one of Marvel’s most iconic relationships and shifting it out of the spotlight won’t sit well with some comic readers. The film is directed by the Russo Brothers with a script by Stephen McFeely , marking a return to the creative team behind some of Marvel’s biggest hits in the Avengers and Captain America franchises. Michael Waldron , known for Loki and Doctor Strange in the Multiverse of Madness , is also contributing to the screenplay which adds even more multiverse expertise to the mix. Avengers: Doomsday arrives December 18, 2026. Its follow up, Avengers: Secret Wars , is set for December 17, 2027. If these rumors hold true, Doom’s warpath toward Steve Rogers could redefine the MCU’s entire multiverse saga and set the stage for a massive showdown.Source InformationPublisher: Geek TyrantOriginal Source: Read more

A New FRIDAY THE 13TH Movie Is Happening and One Director Has Already Thrown His Mask into the Ring
خلاصہ: A New FRIDAY THE 13TH Movie Is Happening and One Director Has Already Thrown His Mask into the RingIt looks like Jason Voorhees is sharpening the machete again. A new Friday the 13th movie is officially in development and this time the update comes straight from someone who has been working inside the freshly launched Jason Universe. Director Mike P. Nelson , who helmed the recent official short film Sweet Revenge , has confirmed that the long awaited return to the big screen is real and not another rumor horror fans will chase in circles. I caught up with Nelson while talking about his new remake of Silent Night, Deadly Night , which screened at Fantastic Fest. Since he was the filmmaker behind Sweet Revenge , the conversation naturally drifted to the state of the franchise and whether the short had been a hint of something larger. Nelson could not spill everything, but what he did reveal is enough to spark some excitement with fans. He said: "They are working on it, that I can promise you, because I've heard of it and because I have that direct communication with them, it's there. So that's really happening. And yes, they have reached out . “As have other people. I can't say too much, but I will say that I have given my two cents, I have given them my take, and right now it's in their court and we'll go from there." That confirms not only that a new Friday the 13th movie is moving forward, but that Nelson has already pitched his vision to the producers. It lines up with comments from Horror Inc. vice president Robbie Barsamian who previously said: "I can tell you that a new sequel movie and new sequel game are at the top of our list. It's where most of our energy's going right now." What Nelson’s take looks like is still a mystery. Sweet Revenge offered a slick and vicious slice of Crystal Lake mayhem, starring stunt performer Schuyler White as Jason while Ally Ioannides played Eve, a final girl whose fate took a wild turn in the last moments. The short ends right as it hints at a larger showdown, leaving the door open for a continuation or a complete reimagining. Nelson has been fearless with franchises before with his 2021 Wrong Turn reboot and his daring approach to Silent Night, Deadly Night , so it is not surprising to hear him describe how he deals with long running series. He explained: "I think a lot of IP loses its luster because it's way too 'holier than thou' and 'we need to be careful.' Dude, get over it, man. Get out there and try something. “That's the reason why the original content worked so well is because somebody went out and did something, you know what I mean? And they did something that was different. So why not do something different?" If his pitch is chosen, do not expect a by the numbers Jason outing. Nelson seems ready to shake things up rather than repeat the usual beats. Whatever direction the producers choose, the important part is that the franchise is finally thawing after years locked in a legal freeze. While Peacock continues production on its prequel series Crystal Lake , that project is unrelated to the movie now taking shape. For the first time in a long while, the path back to Camp Crystal Lake looks clear. Jason is coming home and horror fans might soon see what fresh carnage awaits.
