Article contains spoilers for Halloween (2018).
This year’s Halloween, directed by David Gordon Green, was initially billed as “the final battle” between Laurie Strode and Michael Myers, but it’s pretty safe to say that Michael wasn’t actually killed off in the film, nor was Laurie. In other words, their eternal battle could always continue in a future sequel, and we can only assume that Halloween 2 is indeed on the menu.
After all, Halloween was a MASSIVE hit at the box office this year.
Jamie Lee Curtis has already expressed in the recent past that she’d be up for doing at least one more, but in a new chat with EW, she notes that she hasn’t heard a peep just yet.
“I have no idea at this point, today, I have no idea,” Curtis told the site. “I would make an assumption that, if David Gordon Green has a story to tell, that the people involved with the movie would encourage him to tell it. [Laughs] I haven’t been told whether or not he has a story to tell and whether or not he would include Laurie Strode in the telling. Really, time will tell. I know David is a busy guy.”
She continued, “I’d be happy to do it, sure. This was an extraordinary experience. David was a fantastic director, writer, but obviously this 2018, 40th anniversary, was Laurie’s story, and obviously there are now other people’s stories that would need to get told. But Laurie’s story was told beautifully this year, and I would have no way of knowing how they would incorporate her into future.”
In the meantime, Halloween heads home on January 15, 2019.
