 Hey guys, welcome back to Comic Gettin' TV. We're all geek culture collides. I'm Shannon and today. I just found something on Facebook This is first According to Variety Jamie Lee Curtis is returning to play the iconic Laurie Strode in the Halloween franchise That's right guys. John Carpenter is returning as well to not really reboot the franchise But they're going back to the original franchise as you know Rob Zombie took over the reins and rebooted it a few years back Now they're going back to the original franchise which ended with Halloween resurrection and they're going to come continue that continuity Now according to Variety it says here universal pictures also set October 19th 2018 as the release date What's calling the final film in the Halloween series the horror movie is being produced by Trancas entertainment films Blumhouse productions and Miramax as you guys know Miramax took over dimension films Curtis's character will have a final confrontation with Michael Myers The masked figure who has haunted her since she narrowly escaped his killing spree on Halloween night four decades ago John Carpenter will executive produce and serve as creative consultant on the film Joining leading horror producer Jason Blum who's behind get out Split in the purge as well as the paranormal activity franchises David Gordon Green is directing from a script he co-wrote with Danny McBride Malek Akkad whose Trancas international films has produced a series since its inception will produce Green and McBride will executive produce under their rough house pictures banner Green's directing credits include pineapple express and our brand is Crysis Carpenter came on board the project in May of 2016 The Halloween film franchise was started in part by Carpenter and Mustafa Akkad in 1978 and has led to 10 films that have grossed nearly 400 million worldwide now Many of you are saying but Jamie Lee Curtis died in resurrection right at the beginning of Halloween resurrection How is she gonna come back? There has been talk of a direct sequel to Halloween 2 How accurate that how accurate that is I'm not sure and if you guys will recall chaos comics several years ago did a trilogy of comics a Halloween Halloween the blackest eyes Halloween the darkest eyes or Halloween the devil's eyes or something like that Which I will be reviewing all three of those issues come October but for now If if you guys have haven't read that story Go ahead and exit off here now. I don't want to spoil it for you So three two one spoilers. Okay in that chaos comics trilogy Michael Myers returns it takes place it takes place After Halloween H2O and it merges the two Halloween universes many of you hardcore Halloween fans will know that Halloween Halloween 2 and then Halloween H2O and Resurrection are all part of one universe after two is splits off. Okay, so then we have Halloween Halloween 2 and then Halloween 4 5 and 6 which is the curse of Michael Myers are their own separate thing So it splits off right after 2 and then Halloween 3 is its own separate thing all together So it splits off right after 2 2 different Universes I guess you'd call it 2 different storylines One in which Jamie Lee Curtis as Laurie Strode has a daughter named Jamie and Laurie ends up getting killed in a car wreck and Jamie ends up becoming the foster child another couple and Michael finds out about her and goes after her kills her in six and Right before or right after she has a daughter or a child which if you watch the director's cut of The curse of Michael Myers it shows that Michael is actually The father of Jamie's baby. It's kind of hinted at in the theatrical version But no in the director's cut it was very much extended Michael was the father of Jamie's baby So it is very strange, but very cool nonetheless Now in Chaos Comics Trilogy they found a way to merge the universe back together to where part one two four five six and H2o were all in the same universe, but it takes place Before Resurrection and it doesn't resurrection Isn't acknowledged at all. So what happens is? Michael is back in Chaos Comics version and he goes on his killing spree but eventually he's D masked and It turns out Michael the real Michael Myers was beheaded by Laurie Strode at the end of H2o Laurie went crazy and took on the persona of Michael in his place So Laurie Strode became the new Michael Myers. I don't want to say any more about Any more than that be mainly because I forgot how it ends other than that But like I said, I'm gonna reread the series And I'm gonna get back to you guys in October with a full-on review of it Now back to Jamie Lee Curtis Returning to the Halloween film franchise It would I've said this for years. They should return to the original franchise and they should treat the Rob Zombie version as a Based on real events type in movie movie, you know kind of like have it in the Carpenter Halloween universe as based on true events If you understand what I'm saying So if they go the route that Chaos Comics went By completely ignoring resurrection, which was by far the worst of the series I'm not counting three because three was pretty good. It wasn't a Michael Myers movie, but it was good for what it was Resurrection was the worst of the franchise. So if they ignore resurrection It could be good. It could make sense how they return her However, if they make it a direct sequel to two Make it the Halloween three that we never got. I don't know. I don't I don't think I like that Let me know in the comments below what you guys think And for more information on this you can go to variety comm There is a article on there Entitled Jamie Lee Curtis returning for Halloween reboot and it was written by Dave McNary So if you want feel free to go check that out. I'm Shannon for come again TV. Take care guys
