Original ‘Halloween’ Star Kyle Richards Wanted to Appear in the Forthcoming Sequel
Kyle Richards, who appeared in John Carpenter‘s 1978 Halloween as Lindsey, the child that Nancy Loomis/Kyes‘ Annie Brackett babysits, was hoping to confront The Shape one more time.
The actress, who is now featured on “The Real Housewives of Beverly Hills”, told The Daily Dish and US Weekly that she wanted to appear in this year’s sequel so badly that she actually reached out to producers.
“I really wanted to be so badly,” she explained. “And I’ve never done this in my life. I literally reached out and said, ‘Can I be in it in any capacity? I’ll be an extra. I’ll do anything.’ But they didn’t think that it was going to fit in with the story or something.”
Ironically, the David Gordon Green-directed Halloween actually does tie directly into the 1978 film and brings Jamie Lee Curtis back for one final(?) confrontation with Michael Myers. Could they have made room for Richards’ now-adult character? Probably, but there’s nothing more distracting than an overabundance of cameos. Maybe they’ll pave the way for her character’s return in a future sequel? Thanks to Mike M. for the tip!
Michael returns to Haddonfield on October 19, 2018.
Galder Gaztelu-Urrutia’s The Platform was a massive hit for Netflix back in 2020, becoming one of the most watched original movies in the streaming service’s history.
Coming soon? The Platform 2! Netflix has shared two first look images from the upcoming sequel this morning, which will again be directed by Galder Gaztelu-Urrutia.
Milena Smit and Hovik Keuchkerian star in The Platform 2.
Netflix previews, “A mysterious figure has managed to establish a new law in The Platform, but can justice truly be enforced in hell? And who will enforce it?”
No word yet on a Netflix premiere date for The Platform 2. Stay tuned.
The first film is set inside a vertical prison system, where inmates are assigned to a level and forced to ration food from a platform that moves between the floors. Inmates on high floors eat better than those below, and one man tries to effect change so everyone gets enough.
Rafael reviewed The Platform for us at TIFF, raving in his 4.5-star write-up: “The Platform takes full advantage of its isolated setting and small cast to instead focus on a high concept, a tight script, and sharp dialogue that will make you laugh as often as it will make you think. This is a funny, heartfelt, at times disgusting, yet also thought-provoking sci-fi thriller that reminds of Bong Joon-ho’s Snowpiercer, but with way better food.”
The Platform also made Daniel Kurland’s Best International Horror Films of 2020 list.
