We finally have some movement on Dimension Films long delayed next installment in the Halloween series... As we reported back in February, Patrick Melton and Marcus Dunstan (Feast, Saw IV V VI Saw 3D: The Final Chapter, The Collector and The Collection) have been tapped to pen the upcoming reboot/sequel/recalibration? in the franchise...
We now know that casting is underway and that Marcus Dunstan is not only penning the script but he will also direct... The film will be titled 'HALLOWEEN RETURNS'... Malek Akkad and Matt Stein will produce...
Story: The film will center around a group of Haddonfield youngsters taking on Michael Myers. The now 18-year-old child of one of Myers’ victims plays a central role along with the child of a cop who has long been obsessed with Myers’ case, even putting it before his own daughter.
Michael 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...
Last year Scout Taylor-Compton claimed she would be reprising her role as Laurie Strode, but it now appears Dimension Films is looking for a fresh start... So I would be very surprised if she turned up in version of Halloween...
