Right now, it is 50-50…Both sides are really dug into foxholes. They’re not going to throw any grenades, but I don’t think anyone is going to call for peace talks.”
Miller only pend the first two movies of the franchise in which he was just a child. Now the question is who owns the right To Jason.
What Does The Future Hold For Friday 13th
Victor Miller’s attorney speaks about the future Of the movie. Miller owns the copyright to the screenplay and even the sequel rights. But according to the court, they can not show the adult Jason.
“Now we can license a remake, prequel or even sequel motion pictures… provided such films do not use any additional copyrightable elements…Miller now owns the copyright to his screenplay, including sequel rights, but Jason can’t be portrayed as any older than in the first movie? Makes no sense. Jason was very much a presence in Miller’s film. In fact, Mrs. Voorhees channeled Jason. And, of course, the first was all teed up for sequels.”
Cunningham quoted that there is a 50-50 chance that the movie returning to the big screen. Well, this reassuring statement it is still serving as a ray of hope to the fans.
