Variety did a story about Fox’s creative "6/6/06" release schedule for their remake of "The Omen," and in the closing section of the piece, they dropped a little piece of news that should please the slasher fans: Apparently New Line is planning to release a "Friday the 13th" prequel on Friday, October 13th. Yes, 2006.

"New Line is hoping to release its 10th film in the sturdy "Friday the 13th" franchise on — surprise — Friday, Oct. 13. Studio’s launched development of a script about Jason Voorhees’ origins."

That’s all the news so far, but it should come as no surprise to any horror fans, I can tell you that much.
