One of the most recognisable faces of the horror movie genre could soon be making a comeback to the silver screen.
And arguably the world's best basketball player is in the running to produce it.
Looking to cash-in on the recent box office success of the new Halloween reboot, LeBron James's production company SpringHill Entertainment is in talks with Vertigo Entertainment to acquire the rights to a new Friday the 13th movie, according to The Hollywood Reporter.
The project is reportedly still in the early stages, and at this point there isn't a writer or director attached to the proposed reboot.
The series had been caught in the middle of a legal battle since the last Friday The 13th movie in 2009, which resulted in the rights to the original script going back to the screenwriter of the 1980 classic, Victor Miller.
