Jason Voorhees’ next story is set to be told by filmmaker Mike P. Nelson.
Produced by “Friday the 13th” franchise owner Horror, Inc., the new Jason Universe project is a bloody short-form vignette titled “Sweet Revenge” and it’s set as “the centerpiece of the franchise’s bold 45th anniversary campaign.”
Per the description for “Sweet Revenge,” “fans will drop into a chilling weekend in the woods filled with blood-soaked surprises only Jason can deliver.”
Nelson is writing, directing and producing through his Rockford Road Pictures banner. Production on “Sweet Revenge” began earlier this month.
The project is set to debut on both the Jason Universe YouTube channel and through a site hosted by Angry Orchard Hard Cider, which is sponsoring the vignette as part of a larger collaboration with the franchise.
Horror, Inc.’s “Friday the 13th” franchise as a whole is aiming to make a big resurgence tied to the original film’s 45th anniversary.
Recently, the franchise debuted an all-new Jason Voorhees design by artist Greg Nicotero (featured in the image above), announced Jason’s integration at Universal’s Halloween Horror Nights for the first time in almost a decade, and continued development of A24’s highly-anticipated “Crystal Lake” TV series.
Nelson is best known for directing the 2021 “Wrong Turn” reboot and his debut feature, 2018’s “The Domestics.” His latest feature film, the upcoming “Silent Night, Deadly Night” reboot, will be released in theaters via Cineverse on December 12.
