Jason Voorhes is returning to the big screen in the upcoming reboot of Friday The Thirteenth! Filming is set to begin later this spring! The project has been in development hell ( like Jason in Friday the Thirteenth part 9) since the last reboot flopped in 2009. Many critics complained that the reboot had over complicated the basic story of Friday The Thirteenth. Many were worried when rumors came up the film would be found footage, but those were later debunked, and this film should go back to the basics with a low budget and a hard R rating.
Interestingly, the film will be shooting only 12 miles away from where Friday the Thirteenth VI was shot. Casting will begin soon and will most likely feature some more unknown actors. Could you be Jason's next victim?
The film should be released next October and it has been confirmed the project will place focus on the Voorhees family. Jason's mother was the killer in the original Friday the Thirteenth, and her death set him on his path of machete kills. His father, Ellias Voorhees, was set to appear in a minor role in Jason Lives, in an alternate ending would have placed him as the next movies slasher.

The film will be directed by Director Breck Eisner and is set for release Friday, October 13th, 2017
