Major Kira in FRIDAY THE 13th!
Nana Visitor from DS9 will play Jason's psychopathic mum in the franchise reboot. Spoilers ahead but those who know the series shouldn't worry too much...
Jason's mother will be in the new Friday the 13th redo despite the new franchise beginning with the events of Friday the 13th Part II and the news has leaked this weekend from Starfest that Nana Visitor (who played Major Kira in Star Trek: Deep Space Nine) will play her. The character was of course the main serial killer in the original movie and was memorably played by Betsy Palmer.

The news comes from ScreenGeeks.com...During our time with her, she revealed that she will be playing Pamela Voorhees in the upcoming Friday the 13th remake. She apparently wont be in the film for long, but she has had a mold made of her head. Yeahany guesses as to how she leaves the film?Seems like decent casting. She's aged quite a bit in the 10 years or so since DS9 ended and she certainly has hair style for the part. I still think it's a mistake to not revolve the first film in the franchise around the character but I guess at least it's nice she will be making an appearance somewhere. Even if it is very brief. source - aicn
