There were rumors that Kodak would begin making Kodachome again, but it looks like that's not going to happen. Restoring the entire infrastructure would be a huge endeavor, aside from simply cranking out the film. Kodak Alaris, a UK company, owns the rights to the film stock. Eastman Kodak is a different company. Confusing? Welcome to the 21st century.

“We get asked all the time by filmmakers and photographers alike, ‘are you gonna bring back some of these iconic film stocks like Kodachrome (and) Ektachrome,' "I will say, we are investigating Kodachrome, looking at what it would take to bring that back
Ektachrome is a lot easier and faster to bring back to market but people love Kodak’s heritage products and I feel, personally, that we have a responsibility to deliver on that love.”
That isn't a slam dunk but it seems to be quite a different picture than the one you painted.
I see. They backtracked on their statement a bit. They seem to be willing to bring out some film stocks but it appears that Kodachrome won't be one of them.
