Time to dust off that old William Shatner mask again. A new Halloween movie is in the works, but it doesn't sound like it's going to be a reboot, but more takes place after the events from original John Carpenter film. Here's what I've heard about the film so far...
The new film is going to be directed by Marcus Dustan, who directed The Collector and helped write some of the Saw films, and as of right now, will be titled Halloween Returns. It originally had been reported that it was going to be called Halloween: The Next Chapter, but that information was false. Besides, doesn't that sound like a Friday the 13th ripoff?
The story is said to be picking up years after the original film. One of the characters is an 18-year-old child of one of Michael Myers victims, and another character will be a child of a police officer that is completely obsessed with Myers case, so obsessed, in fact, that he puts the case before his own daughter. Michael Myers is on death row, and these two kids sneak into the prison to witness Michael Myers' execution. As you would guess, things go horribly wrong, Myers escapes and everyone is his sights.
Like I said before, this is not a reboot, but it is the movie studio's attempt at reintroducing the character to a whole new generation of movie goers, while tempting fans of the original to go see the film. Information is still coming out about the film, and I will let you know more as I find out.
Still no word yet on whether or not Jamie Lee Curtis will make an appearance, but here's hoping!
