We’ve been waiting on official word about a sequel to last year’s smash hit Halloween, and it looks like we’ve got pretty concrete confirmation today courtesy of Collider!
According to the site, multiple sources have indicated that Blumhouse’s sequel will film this coming Fall, “and that Universal will likely release the horror movie on October 16, 2020.”
Deals haven’t been finalized at this time, but Collider also notes that Jamie Lee Curtis, Judy Greer and Andi Matichak are all expected to return as the Strode family.
Last we had heard, Scott Teems was in talks to write the script and nobody knew if Danny McBride and David Gordon Green would be back, but Collider does report that Gordon Green not only wrote the script but will indeed be returning to direct. Both Jason Blum and Jamie Lee Curtis, it’s worth noting, had been adamant about Gordon Green returning.
Will John Carpenter be back to provide a brand new score? For what it’s worth, he made it pretty clear last year that he was very open to heading back to Haddonfield once more!
Given the fact that Halloween made over $250 million worldwide last year on a $10 million production budget, none of this comes as any surprise. After all, Michael can never truly die.
