Update For Halloween Reboot:



It appears the reason the reboot of 'Halloween' has been pushed back/delayed - is because the studio has decided to start from scratch...

Although there were big announcement made this summer, and fans are excited to hear more about that, we’re actually still fine tuning that, believe it or not. It’s not going to be quite what was announced with the synopsis and potentially even the people involved. We’re sort of starting from scratch, which is not unusual when you’re dealing with studios and contracts and that stuff. While we were kind of gearing up and were ready to go, we’re now taking a step back and bringing in potential new people and partners in development. -Blumhouse.com

Back in the summer it was announced that casting was underway and Marcus Dunstan (Feast, Saw IV V VI Saw 3D: The Final Chapter, The Collector and The Collection) would be penning the script but he would also direct...

Malek Akkad and Matt Stein to produce and the film would be titled 'HALLOWEEN RETURNS'... Storyline: 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...
