Is there a chance that Jason Voorhees, the legendary horror movie slasher icon and face of the Friday the 13th franchise, be left out of the next movie in the series?

In a recent interview, Platinum Dunes producer Brad Fuller talked many things, including a sequel to The Purge, the upcoming Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles, and the next Friday the 13th.

When asked about where things stand on the next movie in the Friday franchise, Fuller didn’t seem positive that the movie would in fact be using Jason at all…which would certainly be an interesting decision to make. Sure, Jason hasn’t been the focus of every movie in the series (his mother was at the center of the original, and Part V: A New Beginning featured an imposter), but he is the face of the franchise, and doing a new movie without him sounds awfully risky.

Fans of the legendary horror icon Jason Voorhees can rejoice, as an official release date has been set for a new Friday the 13th movie.

Paramount—after grabbing the rights to the franchise and a possible future South Park movie in exchange for a little piece of Christopher Nolan’s Interstellar—has locked in the March 13, 2015 date for the next chapter…and yes, that is a Friday. It also puts the movie right around the time that every other movie you can possibly think of is getting ready to release.

Today is Friday the 13th, a most appropriate day for Warner Bros. Home Video to release Friday the 13th: The Complete Collection, an all-new 10-disc Blu-ray box set that includes all twelve Friday the 13th movies featuring one of the most famous big-screen horror killers, Jason Voorhees.

The Blu-ray box set, which is housed in a collectible tin along with a 40-page softcover book and a Camp Crystal Lake patch, also contains over 11 hours of special making-of features.

The price of this Blu-ray box set has been lowered to $89.99 (down from $129.95), so get in on this discount while it lasts. Note, this collection presents 7 of the films — Friday the 13th: Part IV – Jason X — in Blu-ray for the first time ever.

People are excited about director Christopher Nolan‘s next film, Interstellar, without having seen anything from it yet. This is because Christopher Nolan has developed a bit of a reputation for creating awesomeness, starting with Memento (as well as Insomnia, for some) and the first movie in his take on Batman, Batman Begins, and then an impressive alternation between franchise and original work with The Prestige, The Dark Knight, Inception, and The Dark Knight Rises. His resume speaks for itself.

But something about Interstellar may have movie fans even more excited than the strong growing cast, which includes Anne Hathaway and Matthew McConaughey as well as Jessica Chastain and Michael Caine. See Interstellar is a Paramount Pictures production, and Warner Brothers—who has been involved with all of Nolan’s films except Memento—wanted a piece of the action. Understandable, considering his last three movies have brought in nearly $3 BILLION. But in order to get involved, some goodies were going to have to be sent Paramount’s way.
