 What is going on guys, welcome back to the channel Critical Overlord here. So Nick Castle, the original OG shape from the original 1978 John Carpenter classic film Halloween, he has confirmed that he will be back to reprise the shape Michael Myers in the next upcoming entry in this long ongoing saga, Halloween Kills which will be releasing on October 16th of 2020 next year I believe. The reason I just say Halloween Kills, he put out a tweet that I'm going to leave in the description or in the comment section below. He put out a tweet saying that he got the word that he's coming back, you can't kill the boogie man, that's pretty much just a bad thing, just put up a picture of Michael Myers escaping a fire and then barbecuing and like to joke about the fact that he survived the fire. The thing about it is we don't know, we don't know what capacity, how involved he will be. It will be in the same degree of how he was involved with this new movie and this new Halloween that came out last year because if you recall James Drew Courtney was our actual Michael Myers, he was the one that was playing him full time. Nick Castle did a few of the positions that we know is associated with the shape. Some poses that he made famous upon his initial reprisal or portrayal of the shape in the 1978 film. So I don't think Nick Castle will be involved heavily. Maybe a few of the walking scenes, maybe they'll have him do a bit more of those. I'm just, I'm really curious, I hope they keep Nick Castle and they somehow managed to get back James Drew Courtney because now that we know that Nick Castle is coming back to reprise the shape, I'm hoping that also means that James Drew Courtney is in talks or there's been negotiations to get him back on board with the project as well. Now I'm hoping that this leads into him being a part of Halloween kills and Halloween ends because all Nick Castle's tweet included was him mentioning that he'd be back for Halloween kills. That doesn't mean that he's not going to be in Halloween ends but he hasn't made any mention of them. I'm assuming they just want to go, I'm assuming the approach everyone's taking is one project at a time. So while he's only talking about kills, I think it's safe to assume that he will also be here for Halloween ends because it seems kind of odd to just have him in negotiations to do one more movie unless they found something else. I mean it is possible but I feel like if you're bringing Nick Castle back, why not keep him around for the long haul and wrap up the series with him with Halloween ends. I don't think he's really going to be as physical like I said before. He is older when the original came out, he was much younger. I think they're going to give this physical role back to James Drew Courtney. James Drew Courtney will be our main portrayal of Michael that we see and then Nick Castle will be the shape that we see off in the distance or doing the little head tilts that we know is synonymous with the Michael Myers character. I don't think Nick Castle will be heavily involved with anything too risky in regards to any potential action scenes Michael has to get into. I just don't see it happening now. If he is able to and if he's clear to do that, I'm a bit skeptical of how that will come across on screen. I think we should just keep it with James Drew Courtney or if you're not going to have James Drew Courtney, keep in mind how tall James Drew Courtney was and then find someone that basically resembles James Drew Courtney because it's going to look very odd to not have James Drew Courtney and then have an abrupt height change or significant height difference in between the two portrayals of Michael Myers. I'm glad that Nick Castle is back. He's reuniting with Jamie Lee Curtis. He's reuniting with John Carpenter again. He's reuniting with the whole team that made Halloween 2018 possible. I'm excited that they are trying to keep a consistent creative team here. A consistent creative process is something that is what was desperately needed from this franchise. Each subsequent sequel that came after the original, it seemed like there was just always a new set, a new team behind it, a new everything. It was never consistent at all. There were all these gaps in between sequels. People would write the sequels. Their writing would not get used. New people would write the sequels. Their writing wouldn't get used until finally someone got settled on. I'm just glad they're trying to keep this creative team and they're trying to stay consistent because consistency is a major aspect of what can make or break your franchise. If you're not having any consistency, then that's what led to where the series was before. You had all these people coming in, offering their different takes on it and then having to expand on the mythos of a film they had nothing to do with prior. It becomes a bit messy that way. So with this, since they're being consistent, I don't expect them to add any gigantic lore to the series. Don't expect any druids or he's now supernatural. He's under the curse of this or that. Don't expect any of that. They're going to keep it to the basics. There's no motive. There's no intent. It's just an escaped mental patient back in his hometown looking. He's out for blood. He's out to kill. He's out to do what he does best as Michael Myers. I'm glad that Nick Castle's back. Let me know what you guys think about it down in the comment section below.
