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). It’s 4 pm and I still don’t see a cert petition filed with the Supreme Court in the Friday the 13th case. As of this writing, Victor Miller is allegedly (still) the official rights holder to the original Friday the 13th screenplay (in the US only). has failed to file a cert petition by the 4 pm deadline.

against original screenwriter Victor Miller.Īccording to Zerner, the case is officially over as Cunningham/Horror Inc. It’s been a long road but it appears we’re heading toward some sort of closure in regards to the Friday the 13th rights battle.įriday the 13th Part 3 star and entertainment lawyer Larry Zerner has been keeping fans updated on the progress of the messy legal battle over the franchise’s rights that’s pitted Sean Cunningham/Horror Inc. But given the pre-existing connections between the Alien and Blade Runner universes, this sure is an interesting little similarity worth noting.Īnd who knows. What does this all mean? Perhaps nothing. Towards the beginning of the trailer, we see several humanoid-like beings in glass cases, presumably inside the walls of the Tyrell Corporation – and one of them sure looks a whole hell of a lot like an Engineer.Ĭheck out the potential Easter egg at the 15-second mark: I bring up this fun little connection because many fans this week believe they spotted an Engineer from Alien prequel Prometheus in the new Blade Runner 2049 trailer. The two sci-fi classics deal with the idea of androids, and there are various little Easter eggs throughout Scott’s work that suggest they may actually exist within the same universe.įor example, eagle-eyed fans noticed years back that a bonus feature attached to Prometheus, plucked from Peter Weyland’s diary, seems to link Weyland to Eldon Tyrell, the Blade Runner character responsible for creating the Replicants… It’s interesting that both Ridley Scott’s Alien: Covenant and Denis Villeneuve’s Blade Runner 2049 are being released this year, because both franchises of course started off as Ridley Scott films – Alien was released in 1979, while Blade Runner came along in 1982.

Another crazy fan theory? This one actually holds some water.
