‘Friday the 13th’ Revival Advances With Finished Jason Film Treatment

Regulatory review tied to the Paramount–Warner deal leaves a new feature years away.

Overview

  • Franchise co-creator Sean Cunningham says a completed treatment outlines an “old school” Jason movie.
  • Cunningham reports his long-running dispute with co-creator Victor Miller has been resolved.
  • Rights remain split between Warner Bros. and Paramount, with the planned consolidation expected to ease that hurdle according to reporting.
  • Industry coverage notes any greenlight is unlikely soon due to U.S. regulatory review and studio restructuring, with estimates pointing to around 2028.
  • Cunningham says a younger screenwriter would draft the script as he expects to serve as an executive producer, while Peacock’s prequel series Crystal Lake is slated for this year.
