The Friday the 13th franchise was rebooted in 2009 and it’s about to get that treatment again. The film will create a new origin for serial killer Jason Voorhees. One rumor suggested that the film would be set in the 1980s and another hinted the film would be a found footage film like The Blair Witch Project. It was the plan for the producers to get the film out by now but there were rights issue between Paramount and Warner Bros. Then Paramount suggested the found footage idea that Platinum Dunes wasn’t a fan of. Things became delayed further when they couldn’t agree on whether to do a direct sequel to the 2009 film or just start over. Now everything has been decided and the film which will be set during the 80’s will start shooting in the spring for a 10/13/2017 release date. The CW was considering a TV series but that idea is dead.
