After making a name for himself playing Jason Voorhees across four Friday the 13th films, Kane Hodder helped create another horror icon with Hatchet‘s Victor Crowley.
It’s been eight years since the fourth installment in writer-director Adam Green‘s slasher franchise, and Hodder teased a potential fifth entry at Silver Scream Con.
“I think there’s a decent chance it happens, but nothing’s planned yet,” Hodder told a fan during his panel.
“All I know is that Adam has an idea, if it ever happens, of the setting, and I think it would be amazing if we did that.” He adds with a smile, “And it’s not space!”
Hodder also mentioned that he has not seen Sweet Revenge, the new Jason Universe short film.
Green recently provided an update on Hatchet 5. “Once we can make the movie with different entities behind the scenes at the top level, then I’ll be interested in doing [Hatchet] 5. But things need to change.”
The filmmaker continues, “The creative team is still very much a happy family and would love to do it, but… we need to be under new management, maybe that’s the best way to put it. The diplomatic way to put it. I think the old management knows at this point, I’m not kidding when I keep saying I’m not going to do it. So we’ll see what happens.”
A gory love letter to ’80s slashers, Hatchet premiered in 2006. It was followed by 2010’s Hatchet II, 2013’s Hatchet III, and 2017’s Victor Crowley.
