Producer Andrew Form is committed to working on a new Halloween. The original movie featured teen camp counsellors being bumped off one by one by an unseen killer, who is revealed in the finale to be Pamela Voorhees, the vengeful mother of Jason, who drowned in the lake years before.
The success of Friday The 13th led quickly to planned reboots, a new entry hasn't appeared since the 2009 remake.

A lawsuit between original screenwriter Victor Miller and producer Cunningham has ground development on any future Friday The 13th projects to halt, and until it gets settled, there won’t be any more movies. Now in a new interview with We Got This Covered, Andrew Form – who produced the 2009 remake – revealed he’s ready to jump on a new entry once the lawsuit is settled.
There’s a lawsuit going on and the rights are a little messed up. But rest assured, we are doing everything we can to be involved with that and we wholeheartedly believe that another version, another incarnation of Friday the 13th, needs to be made and brought out to the world, and we’re gonna do everything we can to do it. Every year, we look at the schedule and say, ‘When’s the next Friday the 13th? When can we have a movie ready?’ We love Jason and we hope we can make another one.
Form goes on to mention the Friday The 13th movie he and partner Brad Fuller were attached to at the beginning of 2017, which was Get Out.
The lawsuit keeps getting more tangled, to the point where the acclaimed Friday The 13th video game has A Quiet Place – is totally onboard to bring back Jason again.
In the meantime, director Adam Marcus – who made Jason Goes To Hell: The Final Friday – is eager to produce a spinoff featuring crusty bounty hunter Creighton Duke. Duke and Jason squared off in that instalment, but now Marcus wants to bring the character back for a solo adventure. While the movie may or may not happen, it seems unlikely the character of Jason or the events of any previous Friday The 13th movies will be mentioned if it does get made.
