David Gordon Green's 2018 HALLOWEEN sequel – which was also sort of a reboot, as it pretended all other HALLOWEEN films after the first one didn't exist (as well as wiping out Rob Zombie's two HALLOWEEN reboot films) – was, to some, a breath of fresh air. It was violent, nasty, and really gave Jamie Lee Curtis's Laura Strode moments to really be badass.
It was even successful enough to get a sequel, and Green recently had an interview with Total Film (via Games Radar) to explain how it will differentiate itself from his first film:
If the first film was somewhat retelling the origin of Myers and getting us up to speed with where Laurie had been all those years, then part two is about the outrage of Haddonfield. Mob Rules was our working title for the film. It’s about a community that is united by outrage and divided in how to deal with evil.
Sounds like it could be interesting! Hoping it sticks the landing. Here's the official synopsis:
From the returning filmmaking team responsible for the 2018 global phenomenon, Halloween Kills is written by Scott Teems & Danny McBride & David Gordon Green based on characters created by John Carpenter and Debra Hill. The film is directed by David Gordon Green and produced by Malek Akkad, Jason Blum and Bill Block. The executive producers are John Carpenter, Jamie Lee Curtis, Danny McBride, David Gordon Green and Ryan Freimann.
Meanwhile, HALLOWEEN KILLS is still scheduled to stalk theaters October 15th, 2021…but we'll let you know if there are any changes.
So what do you guys think? Sequel sound good to you? Either way, sound off below!
