Manny's Orphans

That got him the money to make Manny's Orphans, which was basically the similar story, but about soccer.

It was about a ragtag bunch of orphans who win their orphanage back from the mafia in a soccer tournament.

That's right.

Anyway, Paramount Pictures did not buy that film.

[laughs] Okay? If Paramount Pictures had bought Manny's Orphans, or I think they distributed it in a overseas or something, you know, because it got filmed.

Part of it was filmed in Cosmos Stadium.

Pelé is in this movie.

It's that legacy.

It's that legacy of Jason Voorhees that, you know, just continues to, uh, to fascinate people.

All because you originally went out for, uh, Roger in Manny's Orphans.
