deadline.com/2016/05/john-carpenter-halloween-miramax-trancas-blumhouse-1201761796/John Carpenter To Exec Produce New ‘Halloween’ For Miramax, Trancas & Blumhouse John Carpenter, creator of the original Halloween films, will executive produce a new production in the horror franchise. Miramax and Blumhouse Productions will co-finance development and production, with Malek Akkad serving as producer under his Trancas International Films banner and Jason Blum producing for Blumhouse. Miramax, which holds worldwide distribution rights, said it will determine its theatrical distribution partner at a future date. “Thirty-eight years after the original Halloween I’m going to help to try to make the 10th sequel the scariest of them all,” Carpenter said in a statement. Fueled by masked creeper Michael Myers, the Halloween franchise was started in part by Carpenter and Moustapha Akkad in 1978, and eventually encompassed 10 films that Miramax says generated nearly $400 million in worldwide box office. “Halloween is one of those milestone films that inspired everyone at our company to get into the world of scary movies,” Blum said. “The great Malek Akkad and John Carpenter have a special place in the hearts of all genre fans and we are so excited that Miramax brought us together. We cannot wait to find and collaborate with the right filmmaker to give Halloween fans the movie they deserve.” David Thwaites will oversee the reboot for Miramax with Carpenter, who is repped by APA and Stankevich Law. The companies plan to immediately “go out to filmmakers and fast-track the project,” says Miramax.

www.hollywoodreporter.com/heat-vision/halloween-remake-nabs-david-gordon-green-danny-mcbride-direct-write-974103'Halloween' Remake Nabs David Gordon Green and Danny McBride to Direct and Write John Carpenter revealed the film is coming Oct. 19, 2018. Masked killer Michael Myers is coming back — again — in a new Halloween horror movie. But this time, the talent quotient behind the camera will be higher than the normal slasher flick. David Gordon Green, the co-creator of HBO's Eastbound & Down and director of movies such as Pineapple Express and Our Brand Is Crisis, will helm a new movie that will have a script co-written by him and frequent collaborator Danny McBride. John Carpenter, the co-creator of the franchise who directed the 1978 original, made the announcement on his Facebook page. "David and Danny both came to my office recently with Jason Blum and shared their vision for the new movie and … WOW. They get it. I think you’re gonna dig it. They blew me away,” he wrote. "I might even do the music. Maybe. It could be kind of cool. And you’ll get to see it in theaters on October 19th, 2018." Halloween is one of the most recognizable horror movie franchises thanks to its iconic killer character and the memorable music. The movie spawned seven sequels, some of them reboots, plus a 2007 remake directed by Rob Zombie, and its sequel. The quality, however, was in line with other horror franchise such Friday the 13th and A Nightmare on Elm Street: a decline with each movie trying harder and harder to measure up to the first classic. Most Halloween sequels also skimped on behind-the-camera talent, something that has ailed many other horror franchises. But with Green and McBride on board, it seems that the producers are serious about this remake. Blumhouse, Miramax and Trancas are the production entities involved. Carpenter will exec produce along with Green and McBride’s Rough House Pictures. Gordon Green and McBride are repped by CAA.

www.hollywoodreporter.com/heat-vision/jamie-lee-curtis-returning-halloween-franchise-1039687Jamie Lee Curtis Returning to 'Halloween' Franchise The film is due out Oct. 19, 2018. Cue the iconic piano notes. Jamie Lee Curtis is returning to Halloween, the horror franchise that helped to launch her career. "Jamie Lee Curtis returns to her iconic role as Laurie Strode in HALLOWEEN, released by Universal Pictures October 19, 2018. #HalloweenMovie," Blumhouse Productions tweeted Friday. "Same porch. Same clothes. Same issues. 40 years later. Headed back to Haddonfield one last time for Halloween," Curtis tweeted. David Gordon Green, the co-creator of HBO's Eastbound & Down and director of movies such as Pineapple Express and Our Brand Is Crisis, will helm a new movie that will have a script co-written by him and frequent collaborator Danny McBride. That announcement was made in February by John Carpenter, the co-creator of the franchise and director the 1978 original. Blumhouse, Miramax and Trancas are the production entities involved. Carpenter will executive produce along with Gordon Green and McBride’s Rough House Pictures. "David and Danny both came to my office recently with Jason Blum and shared their vision for the new movie and … WOW. They get it. I think you’re gonna dig it. They blew me away,” Carpenter wrote then. "I might even do the music. Maybe. It could be kind of cool. And you’ll get to see it in theaters on October 19th, 2018." Curtis has played Laurie Strode in multiple Halloween films. Her first appearance was in the classic 1978 original when the world was introduced to the mask-wearing, mental patient mass-murderer Michael Myers. Curtis subsequently played Laurie in Halloween II (1981), Halloween H20: 20 Years Later (1998) and Halloween: Resurrection (2002). She most recently appeared in Ryan Murphy's Fox horror comedy Scream Queens, which was canceled in May. Of all the reactions to the news, Mark Hamill had the best.
