Friday the 13th

After slicing and dicing his way through a dozen feature films, Jason Voorhees is ready to slash his way to small screen stardom. Emmett/Furla/Oasis Films and Crystal Lake Entertainment have set a deal to produce a new hour-long dramatic series based upon the characters and settings of "Friday the 13th". Sean S. Cunningham, who helmed the 1980 original, will be executive producer.

Bill Basso (Terminator) and Jordu Schell (Avatar) have been set to script a story line that re-imagines Jason Voorhees in multiple time periods. The series is contemporary, focusing on the eclectic characters of Crystal Lake who are forced to confront the return of the killer, as new secrets about his wacky family are revealed.
