Two slasher icons are preparing to share the screen.
Kane Hodder, who portrayed Jason Voorhees in four “Friday the 13th” films, and “Devil’s Rejects” star Bill Moseley are teaming up to star in a new horror-thriller named “Covet,” Variety can exclusively reveal.

Per the official synopsis, “When a sleazy car salesman is framed for the murder of his mistress, he must prove his innocence — only to learn the forces responsible may not be human.”
“Covet” is the sophomore effort from writer and director Brian McQuery, who directed “Plea” last year starring “Nightmare on Elm Street” alum Heather Lagenkamp.
“I’m thrilled to work with Kane in a role crafted to take advantage of both his intimidating presence and sense of humor. And I can not wait to see what Bill Moseley will do with his portrayal of Sheriff Troy,” McQuery said in a statement.
“Covet” is produced by Spyder Dobrofsky under his Worlds Apart banner. Dobrofsky produced horror thriller “The Weeping” with Doug Jones, Reggie Lee and Chase Demoor, which is in post and slated for a 2025 release. Dobrofsky also directed 2024’s “Down Below,” which starred Eric Roberts and Bai Ling.
“Icons Kane Hodder and Bill Moseley sharing the screen together, with Brian’s wildly original script, is exactly the type of horror we’ve been looking for at Worlds Apart. We couldn’t be more excited to bring Brian’s vision to life, and give the horror audience the chills, scares, and nostalgia they love so much,” Dobrofsky said in a statement.
In addition to the “Friday the 13th” series, Hodder also portrayed the maniacal Victor Crowley in the “Hatchet” series. Moseley is best known for playing Chop Top in cult favorite “The Texas Chainsaw Massacre 2” in addition to his work in Rob Zombie’s films.
