Most horror fans are fully aware of the upcoming 'Friday the 13^th' sequel that is currently in development, but the producers have done well in keeping the new movie's premise under wraps.

According to Producer Brad Fuller, the new sequel plans to delve past the orthodox Jason Vorhees killing rampage, and to uncover more of the character's origin.

In a interview with Esquire, Fuller mostly pointed to the character's immortality:

"There's always been this supernatural aspect to these movies. It defies logic that, you see Jason get killed in every movie, including ours, the 2009 one. And then he comes back and no one's ever really investigated what that is. So that's something that I think about a little bit. Like it is supernatural, but what is he? Those are the things that we're toying with. Nothing has been decided. But those type of things: How does he always come back?

"People traditionally want to understand exactly how and why things happen, and yet something so odd happens at the end of these movies and no one seems to question it. So people come to the movie with the expectation that the real villain will be killed and come back. And yet we never toyed with that notion....Those are the things that we're asking ourselves. And we'll see what comes of it."

What Fuller is perhaps not asking himself is if fans are even interested as to why Jason Vorhees comes back to life after he is killed. That may add to his mystique that makes him such a popular supernatural character.

The 'Friday the 13^th' sequel is slated for release in May 2016.
