Michael Bay's horror shingle Platinum Dunes ("The Texas Chainsaw Massacre", "The Amityville Horror") is set to produce the eleventh film in the "Friday the 13th" franchise for New Line Cinema.

Following the origins of the Jason Voorhees character, the studio is rushing the film into production in hopes to have it ready for this coming Friday October 13th, three weeks before Halloween.

Former net scribe Mark Wheaton ("The Messengers", "Son of the Morning Star") will pen the script.
