Jason Voorhees Returning to Theaters With 13th Feature Film Directed by Steve Miner
- On Friday, Horror, Inc. announced that Jason Voorhees will return to theaters in a new Friday the 13th film, with franchise veteran Steve Miner directing the 13th installment.
- After nearly 20 years without a theatrical release, the Barsamian family—which controls the franchise through Horror, Inc.—will independently finance the film following resolution of complex rights issues that had stalled production.
- CatchLight Studios will serve as production partner, while Cineverse secures North America distribution rights. Robbie Barsamian, Executive Vice President of Horror, Inc., stated reuniting with Miner allows "creative control to honor what makes Jason the greatest slasher."
- Bolstering franchise momentum, the prequel series Crystal Lake on Peacock generated 1.3 billion minutes viewed in 11 days, positioning the theatrical film to bridge original raw energy with modern horror expectations.
- Director Miner, who introduced the hockey mask in Friday the 13th Part III, said he is "thrilled to come back and continue the legacy," as the team will utilize practical effects to capture the 1980 original's raw energy.
