Michael Myers will be terrorizing us again in theaters soon.<\/p>\n
Halloween 2<\/em>, the sequel to 2018’s hit rebootquel from Blumhouse and director\/co-writer David Gordon Green, is set to start shooting after Labor Day this year,\u00a0Collider\u00a0reported Thursday. The sequel will be released on\u00a0October 16, 2020, a date Blumhouse and Universal Studios had earmarked previously for an “Untitled Blumhouse Film.”<\/p>\n Jamie Lee Curtis is expected to officially sign on to the sequel, reprising her role as the very capable and unf**kwithable Laurie Strode. Collider also reports that Curtis’\u00a0Halloween<\/em> costars, Judy Greer and Andi Matichak, are expected to return as Laurie’s daughter and granddaughter, respectively, who teamed up with Laurie to defeat Michael in the last installment.<\/p>\n A representative for Blumhouse had no comment as of press time.<\/p>\n A somewhat sizable question mark surrounding the news is if director Green or his co-writer, Danny McBride, will be back for more scares with The Shape. While\u00a0Collider’s sources say Green wrote the script and is expected to return behind the camera, it’s not yet officially a done deal. The indie director’s sensibilities proved to be a welcome shot in the arm for the franchise, as his movie was a hit with fans and critics, and at the box office, where it grossed $255 million globally on a reported $10 million production budget.<\/p>\n Where we last left the Family Strode, Laurie and her brood were in the back of pick-up truck that was speeding away from Laurie’s fortified compound. There, she and her daughter lured Michael into a trap that ended with the unstoppable killer seemingly burning alive. But fans of the genre know that not even a backdraft inside an enclosed space can keep Michael and his murderous ways down.<\/p>\n No story specifics are known at this time, but fans can expect a new supporting cast of potential victims being introduced as Laurie and her family deal with a Michael Myers out for revenge.<\/p>\n October 16, 2020 cannot get here fast enough.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":" Michael Myers will be terrorizing us again in theaters soon.
