40th Anniversary ‘Halloween’ Documentary Will Arrive Halloween 2018
This year is shaping up to be a great year for fans of John Carpenter’s Halloween (and who among us isn’t?!), as the 40th anniversary of the original classic will be celebrated with David Gordon Green’s brand new franchise installment in October, a direct sequel to the 1978 film that brings back Carpenter, Jamie Lee Curtis, and even Nick Castle.
But that’s not all. A documentary is also on the way!
UK’s Bloody Flicks just announced that they’re making a 40th anniversary Halloween documentary titled For the Love of the Boogeyman: 40 Years of Halloween.
“This documentary is by fans and for the fans, chronicling why John Carpenter’s classic has stood the test of time.
Bringing together some of the brightest voices from independent horror we will explore what makes the film so special. From the music, the mask to Michael Myers, everyone has their own take on Halloween, and why it is the blueprint for slasher horror and in our humble opinion, has never been bettered.”
They say that the doc is aiming for an October 2018 release.
Christopher Landon (Happy Death Day, Freaky) is staying busy here in 2024, directing not only the werewolf movie Big Bad but also an upcoming thriller titled Drop.
The project for Blumhouse and Platinum Dunes is being described as a “fast-paced thriller,” and Deadline reports today that Violett Beane (Truth or Dare) has joined the cast.
Newcomer Jacob Robinson has also signed on to star in the mysterious thriller. Previously announced, Meghann Fahy (“White Lotus”) will be leading the cast.
Landon recently teased on Twitter, “This is my love letter to DePalma.”
Jillian Jacobs and Chris Roach wrote the script.
Michael Bay, Jason Blum, Brad Fuller and Cameron Fuller — “who brought the script in to Platinum Dunes” — are producing the upcoming Drop. Sam Lerner is an executive producer.
THR notes, “The film is a Platinum Dunes and Blumhouse production for Universal.”
