A new Friday the 13th movie is on the way, and Steve Miner, the director of Friday the 13th parts 2 and 3, will be directing it.

David Fliegel will be writing the script. This movie is the only writing credit in his IMDB profile.

Robbie Barsamian of Horror Inc. will be producing.

Barsamian spoke to The Wrap about the project, saying it is “the first of many new films to come.” He didn’t go into much more depth than that in the interview other than hyping up his excitement for the new movie.

The last horror movie Miner directed was the 2008 Day of the Dead movie, which was a chore to watch. But he also did Halloween: H20 and the first Lake Placid in addition to his two Friday the 13th films, so there’s reason to remain optimistic about a new Miner movie.
