Following the success of the Friday the 13^th remake, New Line and Platinum Dunes are moving ahead with a sequel.

More of a follow-up rather than a direct sequel, an all new cast is expected with Jason Voorhees donning the hockey mask for the villain. Damian Shannon and Mark Swift, who penned the reboot, recently began work on the script.

The reboot used elements from the first four films in the original franchise; however, this film won’t be doing any such homage to the other four sequels in the original series.

Marcus Nispel might return to helm the film, though it is expected someone else will be hired for the job.
