YouTuber KingSe7en's video looks at some of the information surrounding Rob Zombie's scrapped Halloween 3 project that was never finished. The video was inspired by Mike Sprague's article at Dread Central (link below the video) about how the film could have turned out.
As we all know, Blumhouse's sequel to John Carpenter's Halloween hit theaters today. Jamie Lee Curtis returns as Laurie Strode, and she does so armed with a screenplay written by Danny McBride and David Gordon Green and helmed by Green.
Dimension Films and Trancas International Films officially announced Michael Myers will be returning to the big screen in "Halloween Returns" the 11th film in the Michael Myers franchise. Written by Marcus Dunstan & Patrick Melton, and to be directed by Dunstan (The Collector, The Collection), the film will start production this July.
Though the official announcement kept the story under wraps, the site MovieHole reported the film's plot. "The now 18-year-old child of one of Myers’ victims plays a central role along with the child of a cop whose long been obsessed with Myers’ case, even putting it before his own daughter. Myers is now on death row and the two kids with their own personal vendettas against the killer sneak in to watch his execution. But when things go awry and Myers escapes, the pair, along with their friends, find themselves in the firing line."
But who is this cop, and what connection to the series does he bear? ShockTillYouDrop has learned Halloween II’s Deputy Gary Hunt—who you may remember from the 1981 sequel as the blonde officer who accompanies Dr. Loomis to the school on the night he came home—appears in Halloween Returns, now as sheriff. Thanks goes to Halloween Daily News for this info and the top image.
I'm excited for this, I'm glad the're not making the film about Michael Myers trying to kill his sister or niece, which I find kinda stupid now.
Michael Myers: The History of The Halloween Movies
Halloween (1978) and Halloween (2007) Theme Song Crossover:
Some really brief news out of Cannes has Michael Myers being resurrected.
Our sources on the Cannes stomping ground tell us exclusively that The Weinstein Company is once again looking to get Halloween 3D off the ground.
We don’t have the names of any writers or directors attached, although Todd Farmer and Patrick Lussier had previously been working on a screenplay. While we may be back at square one, at least the Weinstein brothers once again have Michael Myers on the brain.
It’s unclear if this would be a re-remake, or another sequel to Rob Zombie’s modern take.
