- The movie is still happening
- It wont be a sequel to the 2009 Friday the 13th reboot
- It will not be a found-footage movie
- It will not be titled Bride of Jason; so far it doesnt have a title beyond Friday the 13th
- It will not be in 3D
- It is a period piece
- It will be R-rated
- There wont be excessive exposition about Jasons supernatural powers (alas, there was no confirmation of whether or not itll be an origin story, or dig into Jasons family life and introduce his father for the first time)
- The production has scouted its location, a camp in Georgia next to a lake, for that old-school Long Night at Camp Blood feel
- Casting hasnt started yet, but it will in December; filming will begin in the spring; the release date is (as of now) Friday, October 13, 2017
- The biggest challenge for screenwriter Aaron Guzikowski was coming up with a story that would please fans of the franchise, but also not alienate anyone whod never seen a Friday movie before
