New HALLOWEEN Featurette Reunites Jamie Lee & John Carpenter
In a new featurette for Blumhouse’s Halloween, franchise mastermind John Carpenter heaps praise on Jamie Lee Curtis; he also says the upcoming reboot is the best movie since the original, released 40 years ago in 1978. The video also includes Curtis talking about what makes Michael Myers so scary, and what fans can expect when Halloween slashes into US theaters on October 19th.
You can give the featurette a spin at the bottom of the article, along with the film’s synopsis and most recent trailer.
Synopsis:
It’s been 40 years since Laurie Strode survived a vicious attack from crazed killer Michael Myers on Halloween night. She now faces a terrifying showdown when Michael returns to Haddonfield, Ill. — but this time, Laurie is ready for him.
Jamie Lee Curtis returns to her iconic role as Laurie Strode, who 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.
Master of horror John Carpenter executive produces and serves as creative consultant on this film, joining forces with cinema’s current leading producer of horror, Jason Blum (Get Out, Split, The Purge, Paranormal Activity). Inspired by Carpenter’s classic, filmmakers David Gordon Green and Danny McBride crafted a story that carves a new path from the events in the landmark 1978 film, and Green also directs.
Halloween is also produced by Malek Akkad, whose Trancas International Films has produced the Halloween series since its inception, and Bill Block (Elysium, District 9). In addition to Carpenter and Curtis, Green and McBride will executive produce under their Rough House Pictures banner. Ryan Freimann also serves in that role.
