[Exclusive]"},"content":{"rendered":"

Can you believe it\u2019s been 16 YEARS since the last official installment in the Friday the 13th franchise? That would of course be Marcus Nispel\u2019s Friday the 13th back in 2009, which forever immortalized Derek Mears as of the rare few to portray horror icon Jason Voorhees on screen. Nearly twenty years later, Jason is returning to the screen in Sweet Revenge.<\/p>\n

Described as a \u201cvignette,\u201d the short-form project is a 13-minute experience that\u2019s headed our way next week from the newly-formed Jason Universe, a relaunch of the Jason Voorhees character from the rights holders. It\u2019s no secret that the franchise has been mired in legal troubles for years now, but the Jason Universe finally allows for the big guy\u2019s official return.<\/p>\n

That makes Sweet Revenge the first official Jason Voorhees film project in sixteen years, and Bloody Disgusting has exclusively uncovered the man behind the mask this week.<\/p>\n

The man playing Jason Voorhees in Sweet Revenge, which will premiere on the evening of August 13 at both a special live event and on the @JasonUniverse13 YouTube channel<\/a>?<\/p>\n

Bloody Disgusting has confirmed that it\u2019s actor and stuntman Schuyler White<\/a> who wore the iconic hockey mask in director Mike P. Nelson\u2019s (Silent Night, Deadly Night) vignette!<\/p>\n

An 11-time Guinness World Record holder for various fire stunts, Schuyler White is on paper the absolute perfect man for the job, and he\u2019s got a long history in the horror genre already. White previously worked with Mike P. Nelson on the filmmaker\u2019s 2021 reboot of the Wrong Turn franchise, with White also serving as a special effects technician on films including Escape Plan: The Extractors, Queen & Slim, Don\u2019t Breathe 2, No One Gets Out Alive, Beverly Hills Cop: Alex F, and even NEON\u2019s upcoming Chris Stuckmann-directed horror film Shelby Oaks.<\/p>\n

As a stunt performer and stunt coordinator, Schuyler White has worked on The Bye Bye Man, Haunt, and V\/H\/S\/85, so he\u2019s certainly no stranger to getting bloody in the horror genre.<\/p>\n

Beginning next week with the release of Sweet Revenge, Schuyler White will officially join the prestigious group of actors and stunt performers to officially play Jason Voorhees on screen, which includes names like Ari Lehman, Richard Brooker, Ted White, and of course, Kane Hodder.<\/p>\n

On August 13, a select number of Jason fans (21+) will be able to attend the Sweet Revenge premiere party at the Angry Orchard Cider House in upstate NY, alongside cast and crew including Mike P. Nelson, Sweet Revenge lead Ally Ioannides, and Schuyler White.<\/p>\n

Be sure to register to attend right now!<\/a><\/p>\n

If you\u2019re not able to make it, Sweet Revenge will also premiere online August 13. Stay tuned\u2026<\/p>\n
