Judy Greer in Talks to Play Laurie Strode’s Daughter in ‘Halloween’!
Awesome casting news. MASSIVE plot detail.
Deadline reports tonight that Judy Greer (Jurassic World) is in negotiations to join Jamie Lee Curtis in director David Gordon Green’s Halloween, set to begin filming in just a few weeks in South Carolina.
As previously announced, Curtis is reprising the role of Laurie Strode, while Greer is in talks to play Laurie’s daughter, Karen Strode!
This is the first we’ve heard of Laurie’s daughter being involved in the new film, which we assume is going to disregard all the movies past the original Halloween 2.
In the franchise “reinvention“…
“Laurie Strode comes to her final confrontation with Michael Myers, the masked figure who has haunted her since she narrowly escaped his killing spree on Halloween night four decades ago.”
The film was written by David Gordon Green and Danny McBride. Last we heard, John Carpenter may provide the score.
Carpenter is executive producing the new film with Malek Akkad producing for Trancas and Jason Blum producing for Blumhouse. Gordon Green and McBride will also executive produce under their Rough House Pictures banner.
Michael Myers returns 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.
