The TV show is being produced by both Victor AND Horror, Inc. Zerner tweeted last night, “A little legal info on the TV deal (Reminder: I don’t represent Victor Miller or Horror, Inc.). This updated information has been corroborated by Bloody Disgusting’s sources, as of this writing, and also touched upon by Friday the 13th Part III star/entertainment lawyer Larry Zerner, who has long been our main source of intel on the franchise’s messy legal troubles. That includes locations and characters, notably adult Jason Voorhees and his hockey mask. The rights we assumed only Cunningham had control of.Īccording to Variety’s aforementioned update, this means that the “Crystal Lake” series now “has access to all of the other elements from the films,” suggesting that the combined forces of Victor Miller and Rob Barsamian will allow the Peacock series to use anything it wants to. Barsamian is the man behind the company Horror, Inc., the rights holders of the Friday the 13th elements that Victor Miller doesn’t own. Cunningham, however, owned the character of adult Jason Voorhees, introduced in later sequels, which is why the franchise has long been at a legal standstill.īut Variety added an interesting wrinkle to their “Crystal Lake” story late last night, noting that Rob Barsamian AND Victor Miller are executive producing the Peacock series. It was back in 2018 that a judge ruled Victor Miller owns the rights to the original Friday the 13th screenplay in the United States, a decision Cunningham has failed to overturn in the years that have followed. To recap the franchise’s legal issues, Sean Cunningham, the original movie’s director, and Victor Miller, the original movie’s writer, have been fighting over who gets control of what. The announcement comes in the wake of several years worth of legal troubles for the franchise, but where exactly do things stand at this time?Īnd more importantly, which elements from the Friday the 13th franchise can be used in “Crystal Lake”? We’ve got an exciting update on all things Friday the 13th for you today. Halloween brought along with it the huge news that Peacock, Bryan Fuller (“Hannibal”), and A24 are hard at work on “ Crystal Lake,” a streaming series that will serve as an expanded prequel to the Friday the 13th franchise.
