Not only did Carpenter serve as executive producer and act as a sounding board for ideas, he even composed the score with his son Cody Carpenter and Daniel Davies.
She wanted to work with Carpenter and Halloween producer Debra Hill again on that film, and while Hill has sadly passed away, Blumhouse did get Carpenter involved with their film. In a way, the new Halloween turned into the project Curtis had hoped H20 would be. Gyllenhaal is Curtis's "unofficial godson", and he had just worked with Green on the drama Stronger, so he was able to vouch for the director. Jake Gyllenhaal had a hand in convincing her, too. But Green, McBride, and Fradley won her over and convinced her that their story was worth coming back for. After starring in Halloween and Halloween II (where she was mostly required to just lie in a hospital bed), Curtis did return to the franchise for the 20th anniversary film Halloween H20 and was contractually obligated to appear in that film's follow-up Halloween: Resurrection, but after that she seemed to be very done with the series.
HALLOWEEN 3D 2018 MOVIE
It's not likely many people would be guessing that their movie would end up starring original Halloween heroine Jamie Lee Curtis, either.
HALLOWEEN 3D 2018 SERIES
I don't think anyone would have guessed the directing and writing team they ended up going with: David Gordon Green, who had never directed a horror film before (although he was attached to a remake of Suspiria for a while), would direct from a script he wrote with Danny McBride, an actor primarily known for his work in comedies (he did turn up in Alien: Covenant last year), and Jeff Fradley, a writer they worked with on the HBO comedy series Vice Principals. That name is Jason Blum, the guy behind Blumhouse Productions, the company that has had a hand in such hits as Insidious, Sinister, The Purge, Happy Death Day, and many more.
HALLOWEEN 3D 2018 HOW TO
Teaming with Trancas International Films, the company that was run by original Halloween producer Moustapha Akkad and is now run by his son Malek Akkad, Miramax brought in one of the biggest names working in the horror genre today to help figure out how to proceed. The Halloween rights reverted to Miramax, a company the producers in charge of The Weinstein Company and Dimension had founded but were no longer involved with. In December of 2015, they lost the rights to the Halloween franchise, which they had controlled since 1995's Halloween: The Curse of Michael Myers. Halloween Returns was supposed to go into production in July of 2015, but again Dimension couldn't keep a high profile project on track. They were going to change characters and details of events. But that wasn't quite accurate, because the story Dunstan and Melton crafted wasn't true to those films, either.
It was said that it would be disregarding Zombie's films and tying back to the events of John Carpenter's original 1978 Halloween and 1981's Halloween II. This project was described as a "recalibration" of the series. Reboots they could never get off the ground.Ībout six years after the Halloween 3D project collapsed, Dimension announced that a new sequel in the Halloween franchise, to be titled Halloween Returns and directed by Marcus Dunstan from a screenplay he wrote with Patrick Melton (Dunstan and Melton are the duo who wrote the Feast trilogy, several Saw sequels, and Piranha 3DD). Soon they were knocking out extremely low budget sequels to the Children of the Corn and Hellraiser franchises just so they could hold on to the rights to those properties while hoping to do higher budgeted reboots. Evidence of that could be seen way back at the end of 2009, when they couldn't put together a budget high enough for director Patrick Lussier to make a 3D sequel to Rob Zombie's Halloween remake and Halloween II. The producers behind The Weinstein Company and Dimension Films ran into some serious trouble in the last year or so, but the companies they were running were having issues long before that.
