A new report reveals that a director from V/H/S is in negotiations to direct the latest installment of Friday the 13th.

Earlier in 2013, Paramount regained full rights to produce new Friday the 13th movies, while we don't know too much about the movie at this time, an official release date has already been set for Friday, March 13th, 2015.

According to The Wrap, David Bruckner (V/H/S, The Signal) is who Paramount wants to direct, he's currently in negotiations for the job, and we'll report back as soon as it's official. It has been rumored for some time that the new movie may go the "found footage" route and it has been discussed over at Paramount, but the approach they settled on hasn't been made known at this time.

For those that missed our previous stories, here's our report from last year that provides details on Paramount reclaiming the Friday the 13th movie rights:

"We have some very encouraging news on the Friday the 13th front. While the series started at Paramount, New Line and Warner Bros. got involved with the later sequels and the 2009 reboot. Moving forward on new Friday the 13th movies has been difficult because of all the different companies involved and its being reported that Paramount has regained Warner’s rights to co-finance the next movie.

How did this happen? Thank Christopher Nolan and his latest movie, Interstellar. The project was at Paramount, but Warner Bros. has made millions on Nolan’s work and wanted to get involved. Paramount and Warner Bros. are officially co-producing Interstellar now, but The Hollywood Reporter revealed that Paramount asked for a number of items in return, including the full Friday the 13th rights. So what does this mean for Friday the 13th fans? There’s going to be a lot less red tape required to get new movies made. "
