Natalie Alyn Lind, Matt Cornett, Lilia Buckingham, John Owen Lowe, Johnell Young and Summer Madison are rumored to have been cast in the new “Friday the 13th” film.
The report originates from scooper DanielRPK and Jason Parker and all ties back to casting notices for a film going by the name “Elysian Fields” which has reportedly already been in production in Atlanta for a month and wraps soon.
That title has the following synopsis: “When a group of young artists living in a communal art colony are targeted by an unstoppable killer, they must outwit a seemingly immortal monster before they become his next victims.”
That project is being produced by 13 Films LLC, and a listing in Production Weekly from back in August cited a film from that production company with the same shooting location, filming window and casting director but going by the name “Jason Returns”.
All this follows on from yesterday’s news that Steve Miner will direct the new “Friday the 13th” film, the first theatrical feature in the iconic horror franchise in nearly two decades (the last being the 2009 reboot).
David Fliegel penned the script for the feature which will return to the franchise’s indie roots. Robbie Barsamian produces the new film which is targeting a 2027 release.
