Friday the 13th 3d (unproduced draft) by Nick Antosca
Thanks Zack for the heads up on this!
Nick Antosca (the writer of the Hannibal tv show) has put his rejected Friday script on the web.
From what I can gather, this was extremely close to being filmed before Paramount got cold feet.

Actually, no. This was the draft BEFORE the draft that was almost filmed (the one co-written by Aaron Guzikowski) before Paramount got cold feet due to the under-performance of “Rings.”

Actually, yes. Paramount had even gone as far as hiring a director(David Bruckner) for this particular script. A regime change in Paramount led to a change in direction with the project.

Sure it was in consideration at one time, but the whole “cold feet” issue was later.
