Jason Voorhees on kauhuelokuvien klassikkopahis, mutta se viimeisin raina nähtiin viimeksi vuonna 2009. Syynä on pitkään vellonut paksu oikeussoppa siitä, kuka oikeastaan omistaa oikeudet. Toisin sanoen kenelle ne rahat lopulta kuuluvatkaan. Oikeusjupakka näyttää viimeinkin olevan loppumassa. Asianajaja Larry Zerner on seurannut juttua jo kauan, ja hän puhui asiasta Twitterissä.
"It's 4 pm and I still don't see a cert petition filed with the Supreme Court in the Friday the 13th case. What does this mean? Well, it means the case is officially over and Victor Miller owns the rights to his screenplay in F13 (but only in the US). Does this mean that the parties have settled or are close to settling (and a new movie is forthcoming)? Not necessarily, it could just mean that Sean Cunningham realized that a cert petition was a real longshot and didn't want to waste his money. However, the fact that he didn't file a cert petition makes it (very) slightly more likely that the parties are working out a resolution. But I wouldn't hold my breath."
Toivottavasti soppa on nyt lusikoitu, ja Jason pääsee taas rellestämään valkokankaalla.
