New Friday The 13th Film Is Currently Filming And We Have Titles And Cast Details.

 There has been a lot happening since it was officially announced yesterday that a brand-new Friday The 13th film is being produced. A funny thing happened after the announcement as our site was flooded with new tips about the movie and I went on a scavenger hunt for more details. It seems as though the new production has been secretly filming the new Jason affair under the veil of the release of the Crystal Lake series on Peacock.

The new Friday The 13th film has been shooting with the working title Elysium Fields in and around the Atlanta, Georgia area. The production seemingly filmed a death scene yesterday on Friday The 13th!

So far....

Working Title: Elysium Fields
Title: Jason Returns (unconfirmed)
Production start: October 12th (unconfirmed)

Production on "Jason Returns" is supposed to finish very soon and the release date will be August 13, 2027. We know this as one, it makes total sense, but two, an updated film release chart for 2027 shows "Untitled Cineverse Horror Franchise Event Film" on that date. Of course, Cineverse is the North American distributor for the new film, so it's looking pretty good for Jason Returns on that date.

As for the cast, we have a lot of names:
