Halloween reboot confirmed

[Draco1958]

Yes ladies and gentlemen, this is true.  They are going to reboot Halloween and Jamie Lee Curtis is returning as Laurie Strode.  Can't wait to see how they bring a dead character back since she died in Halloween Resurrection.  Here is a link to the news story on Fox2Detroit news.

Oh my goodness, I've heard of beating a dead horse, but people...really.  Maybe it's one of those, "you dreamed the whole thing" type of movies...

To be honest, I thought it was a hoax until I read the story.

I posted a reply on the Facebook post questioning how this could work since the heroine is dead.  The response I got is that this reboot will take place 40 years after Halloween II and that all the others will be ignored, like they never happened.  The director is going to be the son of the original director.  To me I believe this will be better than the remakes that were made.

To be honest, that will make more sense given the suspense of how the first one ended.  When it was forced to be turned into a horror franchise, that's when they lost the integrity of the storytelling...in my opinion.

The original idea was the movies were to be a horror anthology.  Each movie it's own story but after Halloween III Season of the Witch bombed and the fans wanted Michael to return, it was decided to make it a franchise based on Michael and not just horror movies centered around Halloween.

Could be interesting. I'm a little tired of all of the Hollywood reboots but maybe it will work.

They are calling it a reboot but technically it's not.  They are going to ignore all the movies after Halloween II and this movie will take place 40 yrs after that.  So in effect this will be Halloween III.  So in actuality it is a sequel.  This way they can ignore the Laurie Strode character's death in Halloween: Resurrection.
