Jason Voorhees and his pack of slutty teenagers are returning to the big screen! A recent studio switcheroo saw Paramount trading some of the rights to Chris Nolan’s Interstellar to Warner Bros. in exchange for the Friday the 13th franchise (and a few other things like South Park). And now, Paramount wants to reboot the whole kit and caboodle.
According to Exhibitor Relations twitter account the new movie is scheduled for a 2015 release (on a Friday the 13th no less).
Paramount sets FRIDAY THE 13th for March 13, 2015. Not a sequel to the reboot, mind you, another reboot entirely.

Unfortunately, this new premise is supposedly “found footage”-based which, woof. Oh well at least we’re getting Jason back from space.
