 What's going on guys welcome back to the channel critical overload here So in this video, we're gonna be talking about the Halloween franchise again and going over the latest on where we currently stand right now regarding this whole right stuff and The battle or the news that's slowly been coming to us as early as July of this year and kind of going over where we currently Stand and I'll be disclosing a bit of news that is expected to come around Halloween By the time this is out and depending on how it goes I guess it could be announced sooner rather than later what I'm going to be going over is made apparent by the video thumbnail and the video title So I'm gonna again be going over mostly the biggest thing will be where Halloween currently stands But I'm gonna work my way up to that by recapping everything. We've been learning since July of this year So earlier this year in July reliable Twitter scooper sent a stuff Let it be known that executive producer Malika Cod had already heard multiple pitches both formal and informal about where to take The Halloween franchise next but nothing is set in stone and any ideas will need to be shopped around to new studios Distributors Blumhouse is out and a TV series is on the table They've also been the one to confirm not confirm, but let us know and going off of their track record They are very reliable They let us know that the next project we get from the Halloween franchise as much as I wanted this and as much as I Know a lot of you might have wanted it It won't be a legacy sequel to Halloween for with Danielle Harris now granted that might still happen But apparently there's some beef that exists between Malika and Danielle. So Then more recently bloody disgusting did confirm what Senate stuff was saying earlier this year in a recent Or recent article that came out several articles that came out for not only them but also from one take news They confirmed those Those bit of details from Senate stuff and did disclose that Malika Cod's trank is international films is actively shopping the rights to the Halloween franchise around Hollywood for clarity the article mentions while mirror max co-owns the film rights Trank is is the sole owner of all television rights a massive bidding war was ongoing With several parties bidding at the chance to bring Michael Myers back to life A24 was revealed to be leading that bidding war for TV rights to Halloween However, Trank is I want to point this out. Trank is is open to both film and TV projects So that's very important to remember and regardless mirror max will still be involved since they call on film rights to all of the sequels So what's the latest with a 24? Well this past Sunday, I was sent a very interesting message from a from a reliable source of mine Who said things for a 24 would become parent will become a parent to you this week and they shared other things I'm gonna get into and then sure enough we're only on Wednesday and yesterday or We're on Thursday at this point, but Wednesday is when this came out on Wednesday The rat put out an interesting report to let us know that a 24 wants to expand into commercial territory Which explains their interests in Halloween this next bit This next bit comes from a recap from I horror that put out an article earlier today earlier yesterday Wednesday Because it's gonna be Thursday by the time I upload this the strategic shift towards more commercial films Including a pursuit of rights to the established franchises like Halloween and taking on intellectual properties like Crystal Lake with Peacock Signifies a new chapter for a 24 while the studio is not completely abandoning its roots In our tour driven dramas. It is doing more exploring war exploring why releases and widening the Arpiter this includes delving into various domains like documentaries adaptations and ambitious new action epics ensuring a diverse and innovative approach to storytelling Basically guys. Yes a 24 won the rights battle and from what was shared with me on Sunday That was one of the things I was told and I was told it would become apparent this week from news outlets Reliable news outlets that of course are not me and sure enough look what started coming out So the season of the witch universe revival that I talked about in other videos That isn't likely to be the path that they take because what was told to me is that they are interested in Michael Myers projects But who is shocked to learn that? So I guess season of the witches off the table. They're gonna be doing Michael Myers projects So not only though is a 24 the new home for Michael Myers But they have apparently secured rights for not only TV but film So again, not just the TV rights that were reported But the whole nine yards if I were to guess Trank is is going to announce this close to Halloween like how Malik Malik Akkad tease during the age of 45 convention where he referenced keeping Halloween at an elevated level But hell to be honest, they might announce it today or it depends because I'm revealing it They're going to announce this soon a 24 is the new home of Halloween But what are they going to do with Michael Myers? I'm going to be honest as much as introducing newbies with Loomis and Myers back might be the safest bet a Trilogy with Steven who we have not seen since Halloween 6 the curse of Michael Myers Jamie's son doing a trilogy based on Steven or set around Steven setting it 20 years after curse Wouldn't be the worst thing if done correctly plus 824 might prefer to play with the Thorne trilogy because that's the closest thing in the franchise I could see coming from a 24 if they were doing Halloween movies not to say they would do it in that Manor because I I do have my problems with the Thorne trilogy. I just think the overall underlying concept. That's right up a 24 is line of Expertise if you will when it comes to their track record with the movies that we've seen from them in the horror genre I would say that the Thorne trilogy that will be right up their alley when it comes to doing Halloween movies So if they were to actually do a film trilogy while I would prefer Personally a legacy sequel to Halloween 4 or if you're not doing that start completely fresh with Myers and Loomis being the only returning characters I am also not opposed and I could see them playing around with a trilogy Set in the Thorne universe with a grown-up Steven set it 20 years after the events of curse of Michael Myers You can have Steven who's been living with Karen and Tommy He's going into discover that Karen is not his mother and that Tommy is not his father He's gonna learn about Michael Myers and learn how he's related to Michael Myers Learn how Jamie Lloyd is actually his birth mother, etc. Start to develop a revenge type of Fire under him go after Michael Myers and that's how you can kind of map out a trilogy from there I wouldn't be opposed to that if it's done Well, it'll be the best thing we've had from the franchise probably in a long while I have faith that a 24 can do magic with this franchise with this IP that far exceeds What we just got from Blumhouse. I love the 2018 film But it was a slow decline from kills to ends Admittedly I think ends is a better made movie compared to kills, but I digress there But yes guys a 24 is the new home for Michael Myers They have the rights to not only TV shows or they not only have the TV show rights But they have rights to the films as well But of course like I mentioned Miramax would still be involved because they co-own the rights to all of the sequels So they would still be involved with making any movies that a 24 has their name attached to But you guys can let me know what you think about this down a comment section below What do you think about a 24 being a new home for Michael Myers? Do you not care? But yes, while this might not be announced today It is expected to be announced by the end of the month That's what Malachi caught was talking about and if it's not announced by the end of the month They're gonna announce it soon because a 24 has the rights.
