Report: LeBron James in Talks to Produce Reboot of 'Friday the 13th' Franchise

Rob GoldbergOct 22, 2018

LeBron James continues to branch out into the movie and television industry, and he seems to have found his newest project.

According to Brad Miska of Bloody Disgusting, the Los Angeles Lakers star is currently in talks to produce a reboot of Friday the 13th. James' production company, Springhill Entertainment, will potentially join with Vertigo Entertainment on the project.

There have already been numerous sequels and reboots to the original 1980 film, most recently with a 2009 version, but a new Halloween movie could usher in some more repeats in the horror genre.
