Looks like the next Friday the 13th film is ALREADY being filmed in Georgia under the code name Elysian Fields!
The horror community got a jolt on November 13, as an all-new theatrical Friday the 13th film helmed by genre veteran Steve Miner was officially announced.
If you’re wondering how long we’ll have to wait until production begins, Wicked Horror is proud to break the news first: the next Friday the 13th film is ALREADY filming in and around Atlanta!
Multiple sources — who obviously wanted to remain off the record — have confirmed that the next Friday the 13th movie is currently being filmed in various locations in Georgia under the code name Elysian Fields. Apparently, the production isn’t going to great lengths to (hockey) mask the fact that it’s actually a F13 movie — a not so-closed set shot at a former factory site in Atlanta revealed that the production company behind Elysian Fields is the bluntly named 13 Films LLC.
Records unearthed by Wicked Horror indicate that 13 Films LLC is indeed an affiliate of Cineverse — the company with the distribution rights to Friday the 13th.
Business filings with the State of Georgia indicate that 13 Films LLC was founded on Feb. 13, 2026, with a certificate of authority formally issued on Aug. 19, 2026.
The filer for the license in Georgia is listed as Eric B. Olea, representing the Los Angeles law firm Greenberg Glusker, LLP.
A little sleuthing drums up the following statement from the Nancy Naylor Casting firm regarding a potential spoiler for Elysian Fields, describing said film thusly:
“When a group of young artists living in a communal art colony are targeted by an unstoppable killer, they must outwit a seemingly immortal monster before they become his next victim.”
Boy, doesn’t THAT sound familiar? Handling additional casting duties for Elysian Fields is the firm Casting TaylorMade, who posted an all call for an older male victim for overnight shooting on — when else? — Friday, November the 13th, 2026.
The same firm posted an all-call for actors to portray construction workers on November 2, 2026, suggesting that the next Friday the 13th movie has been in active filming for at least a few weeks now.
Other details on the film remain scarce and unverified at the moment. Will the next Friday the 13th film feature any well known actors, or returning B-movie royalty? Come to think of it, who will be playing Jason in the film — or will Jason even be the primary antagonist of the film at all?
We’ll just have to wait and see how the paint (and blood) dries there. But what’s a known quantity now is that the next F13 film is WELL into production — which bodes well for an actual wide-scale release sometime in 2027.
Looks like we won’t have to wait too long to see Friday the 13th again on the silver screen. And judging from the casting sheets, it’s bound to be a gore-soaked jubilee …
